Funny Sayings to Put on a Pen
It's really hard to know what custom engraving to get on a personalized gift for a loved one.
I've written another article on the subject that gives some strategies for coming up with your own engraving verbiage.
In this article, however, I've compiled a list here of easy, short, custom engraving go-to's that can help you narrow down the right engraving ideas for your gift recipient.
In this article, you'll see my full list of suggestions along with 50 famous quotes about writing, books, pens, and more!
After that, I've gathered 10 hilarious pen puns just for laughs to go along with your engraved gift.
Before I jump in, two preliminary remarks to relieve any potential stress about engraving choices:
- You can never go wrong by simply getting their name engraved on the pen. It's simple and still super meaningful.
- At Dayspring Pens, you can get your pen engraved with two lines of personalized engraving to double the possibilities for quotes. This just gives you more wiggle room. (If you're interested in engraved gift pens, be sure to check out our list of best sellers.)
- There's no end to the meaningful phrases and powerful quotes you can say to a loved one. 277 suggestions is just NOT enough. So, these gifting ideas are really just meant to help get your gears turning as far as the possibilities. You don't have to just copy and paste from the list below.
Add your own spin!
So without further delay...
