Through the years I have given and received a lot of gifts. Some have lasted longer than others. Many have been forgotten or gone unused. But, I have kept every single engraved or personalized gift I have ever received.
At my job as a truck driver, I received an engraved Leatherman Wave multitool as a safety award from the company to commemorate my five years of no accidents. One Father Day I was given a personalized gift of a Swiss Army Knife with Bob, 1 Dad on it. My buddy Gary gave me a liquor flask with my initials engraved on the front for being a groomsman in his wedding. My wife purchased toasting flutes for our own wedding that she had say our names and wedding date on them. I guess so I would not have an excuse at forgetting our anniversary!
These gifts were not all expensive. A couple of them were probably under $20 or $30. Yet I know that I will keep them forever for sentimental reasons. I admit, I have cleaned out my closet and pitched a few lame gifts that I have never used. But I will keep that engraved Swiss Army Knife with my name on it forever. I do not care how scratched up or abused it gets. It has my name on it and I remember when I got it.
