Your traditional trophy in the shape of a cup made from some or other metal alloy is fast becoming outdated. Glass awards are the new and modern way to reward some one for outstanding achievements. Glass will not rust or corrode over time and can be moulded into any shape or design. Sandblasting and engraving techniques will also give your glass trophy or award a creativity that can not be achieved on metal or wood. Make sure that you find out more about the ways that glass can be used before deciding on the usual trophies and plaques for your next awards ceremony and give an award that is beautiful and timeless.

If you have a floating trophy for a certain event or championship, it may not be possible for all the players on the rugby team to hold their trophy or take it home. A nice alternative would be to award each team member with rugby medals that they can take home and keep to prove their achievements. Rugby medals can be moulded to any shape or design and can also be engraved with any information you would like to display. As the floating trophy will also not remain permanently in your teams’ trophy display case, the medals will also be a constant reminder of victory once the trophy is gone.

Custom made keyrings
A great idea for a gift for someone who loves his or her car is a custom made key ring. You can have a key ring designed that will reflect the make of the car and add a name plate with perhaps a pet name for the car or the owners’ name on it. It is possible to make a key ring in any shape or design depicting something that somebody loves. Whether it is a kitten for a cat lover or dog for a dog lover, just make sure that the key ring is functional and well made so that it will last a long time. This is also a great gift idea for your son or daughter when they take ownership of their first car.

Corporate gifts
The value of corporate gifts should never be underestimated. Gone are the days when pens were bought in bulk and simply handed out left, right and centre. With a little thought, corporate gifts could become so much more than a simple token – it can become an object that works for you.
When you hand someone the aforementioned pen, they know that it carries no special meaning. The gift feels hollow. But a gift that says you thought about it, immediately carries more value, and has the power to create a positive headspace about your company in that person’s mind. You could have something custom made, or simply engrave the person’s name on it to make it more personal. Gifts that are useful in their profession can also serve as a constant reminder of your company every time they use it. Contact us at Trophy & Medal Boutique and let us help you with corporate gifts that hit home.
