Inkwell Designers has what you need for bespoke gifts or personalized items suitable for any budget. I had a pair of personalized Bibles embossed. Desiree made sure the project was exactly what I was looking for and then she executed flawlessly! I highly recommend Inkwell for that special something and/or personalizing something you may already own.

I needed my logo printed on some leather compact mirrors for an upcoming launch event and it seemed like no one in Atlanta could do it. Desiree took my project on last minute and got the job done in 2 days! She was helpful, communicative, and the mirrors look amazing!!

Courtney Kareem

Desiree was very organized, professional, and polite. The job was not so complex but it had to be right and we live a few thousand miles away. I am very happy with the work and highly recommend her services!

Kenji Salz

Desiree was very professional and personable, and was the perfect enhancement to our tradeshow booth. The imprinted luggage tags were a huge hit and awesome traffic driver of clients & prospects. Would absoulutely use Inkwell Designers again!

Fantastic service, reasonably priced and it turned out better than I had hoped for. She was able to see my vision for the project even though I am not very creative. If you haven’t made an appointment yet, GO! You will not regret it.

Becky Arquette

Desiree did a wonderful job on my luggage tags. She helped make my anniversary surprise happen. I had already had a few things lined up that didn't come through and she was very kind to step in at the last minute and get it done. Thank you so much for you help!

Amanda Fuqua

Yes 5 Star! Inkwell Designers went above and beyond all my expectations, timely, listened to my needs and was very inquisitive and the end product was perfect. Thank you Desiree.

Larry Kay

20:34 02 Apr 24

I found Desiree and her team because she is one of the very few sources who can engrave on a leather book. It is currently extremely hard to find engravers. Desiree took my book and did an excellent job, taking the time to confirm the look, proper characters, etc. I highly recommend Desiree for any engraving needs as she and her team are very personable and had me feeling as if I was one of her key clients even though I only had one leather book to engrave. I will be back for any future engraving needs.

Bryce Dryden

21:11 14 Feb 24

I appreciated working with Inkwell to get 3 major imprints on some leather Bibles I love to use that are now hard to find. Desiree worked with me, got me in/scheduled, and delivered great work. Inkwell takes tasks when others do not want to try, and I appreciated the tenacity and work. Would use and recommend again. More importantly, Desiree and this team takes the time to field your questions and engage their people.

Greg Norton

18:19 30 Jan 24

Desiree was wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond to any questions, a pleasure onsite, and made our whole experience much better with her engravings. Our team was extremely happy with the finished product and we look forward to working with her again soon! Thanks Desiree!

I've used Desiree's embossing services on two occasions, once for a booth at a tradeshow and another time for an employee event, and it's always been a hit. She is very helpful and responds in a timely manner. I wanted something quick so attendees can get through the line quickly, and I will definitely use her services again.

I’m an engineer that recently started a new company. I was in need of speciality UV printing for my patented products. These are very unique products (not easy to print) and we had a very tight deadline for a large upcoming sales pitch. We searched not just our state but the entire country, Inkwell Designers & Desiree was our UV printing choice. And let me tell you, we lucked out! Desiree not only met the deadline, was easy to work with but she exceeded work expectations. I’m happy to say we closed that deal! Due to the sensitive nature of contracts I will release pictures of Inkwell Designers work at a later date! Thank you Desiree! Highly recommend for your speciality UV printing needs!

Desiree of Inkwell Designers was extremely professional and did an amazing job on multiple complex print jobs for me. Turn-around was quick with no extra rush charges. Inkwell's UV printing technology is impressive and produced really nice results for a very reasonable price. My job included printing custom artwork on glass for an arcade marquee and bezel.

Doug Dement

13:50 25 Jul 23

Desiree,Thank you for generously spending so much time with me to discuss just a one-piece gold embossing order. Your idea to place diamonds between each of my initials looks fantastic!It was truly a pleasure and I will always bring my customization projects to you. - Ed

I had UV printing done on a leather Bible as a gift. I was nervous about mailing the package and getting it done, as I am not local or live near Inkwell Designers, but the final product was worth it.I would suggest ordering ahead of time if you are not local, to give room for things like shipping complications. I thought my package was lost in the mail when I sent the Bible because USPS said it was dropped off at an unknown parcel locker. I had to call USPS a few times to resolve the situation, but USPS eventually delivered it to the correct business address. Desiree stayed in touch with me with fast response times during the whole process and let me know when she got the package. This was super helpful.I sent her a file of what I wanted on the Bible and where to place the words on the front. It came out perfect. I am really looking forward to presenting it as a gift and I definitely recommend Inkwell Designers for other special occasions👍

Desiree was a pleasure to work with! She had excellent communication skills and transparency onsite, knew what her set up needs were and was very easy to work with! Will hire again! The attendees LOVED the monogram leather luggage tags.

Maggie Maher Marble

02:32 03 Feb 23

We recently hired Inkwell Designers as our “booth draw” for a corporate event – and let me just say, they did not disappoint! In fact, they exceeded our expectations. We were easily the most popular booth at the conference. Attendees were taking pictures of the hours Desiree would be at our booth so they didn’t miss out on a custom embossed product. And at times, there was a wait which allowed our staff to engage with the attendees. Desiree was easy to work with and a true professional. I would highly recommend them for any of your corporate event needs!

Mary Chidiac

15:09 19 Jan 23

I highly recommend Inkwell Designers! I worked with Desiree to engrave a perfume bottle as a gift for my mom for my wedding and an amazing experience. The perfume bottle tuned out beautifully! The process was seamless - I had it shipped right to their offices and turn around was very quick. Desiree is responsive, creative, and delivers top notch service!

Lauren McNee Doherty

22:23 17 Jan 23

We recently had Inkwell Designers featured at our booth at a major conference in Orlando. As our swag for the booth, Inkwell embossed leather notebooks and luggage tags with attendees initials. Not only was the product high quality and beautiful, it was the hit of the entire conference. Because of Inkwell, our booth was constantly packed with attendees which led to meaningful connections and conversations and, ultimately, more business! I can’t recommend highly enough.

Lindsay Radisek

01:41 14 Jan 23

I brought them a verify complicated item to work with. Desiree was the only person in Atlanta that could figure out a way to attach a logo to it. The result turned out fantastic. Dealing with Inkwell Designers was truly a pleasure. I cannot recommend them enough. They are over an hour from my office but are well worth the drive.

Patrick Smith

16:52 07 Jan 23

These personalized teacher coasters turned out amazing! Desiree was so great and easy to work with. Highly recommend. My daughter will have some happy 3rd grade teachers for Christmas.

So pleased with Inkwell Designers. Desiree is professional, so easy to work with, and low maintenance. She engraved Brumate tumblers for my work event and the buzz around these customized tumblers was out of control! Her handwriting is beautiful. And not the least of our concerns, her rates are very reasonable. Book her! You won’t be disappointed.

I was looking for someone to engrave my daughter's wedding day perfume bottle and found Inkwell, I'm so happy I did! It was a wonderful experience from my first email to Desiree, she responded quickly and answered all my questions. I received the perfume bottle sooner than expected and was pleasantly surprised to see Desiree had also engraved flowers. The bottle is so beautiful, I can't wait to give it to my daughter on her wedding day. Thank you Desiree!

From the moment that I sent Desiree an inquiry about customizing a leather Bible cover, I was impressed by her responsiveness and professionalism. She answered all of my (many) questions, sent me photos of different style options, and sent the Bible via expedited shipping to ensure that it arrived with plenty of time to be gifted.I will definitely be using Inkwell Designers for future projects and I highly recommend that work with Desiree for any projects that you need personalized!I took the time to write this review because I was so impressed with her work and service. You can certainly entrust her with your special items and I am confident you will be similarly impressed!

Kelsey Garrison Thomas

21:56 11 Jan 22

This is the third time I have used Inkwell designers. And this is the third time I have been amazed with the product. The first was a Bible for my daughter - I was a slacker and the turn around time was amazing and life saving. The second was the engraving of a wine bottle and my family could not have been happier or more impressed. The third is a great surprise for my family and I can’t wait to see the finished product. I highly recommend this business.

Jacob Luke

Desiree really went above and beyond for my last minute, slightly panicked request and really delivered! I wasn't sure what I really wanted, but after talking through ideas and feeling that my photography really needed to be seen on the merch, she provided an amazing design that made me speechless. Inkwell Designers is now the only place I will go for all of my merch needs.

Cindy Rawlings

01:14 25 Sep 21

I reached out to the company and they were able to schedule a drop off soon after. They answered all of my questions and gave me options to choose from. The drop-off was simple and easy, with a fair price. I didn’t use their service for them to buy a bottle to engrave but it would have made the process even smoother. I picked it up today with about a 5 day turnaround. I am extremely happy with my purchase! Thank you!

Tika Reese

16:21 22 Sep 21

I searched for more than three weeks to have a thin piece of metal etched from a photo in the same manner a grave stone is done. I learned the software for that kind of project does not exist in my area. I was referred to Inkwell Designs and much to my surprise, the project turned out lovely. I met with Desiree one time for 15 minutes and she read my mind. It wasn’t etched but it was actual paint, in color infused by a UV light. All the proofs were perfect on the first run, no changes. This project was for a memorial of a family member and Desiree nailed it by making it so special to my familyThank you so much!

Beverly Brooks

18:05 19 Sep 21

I communicated with and shipped a Bible to Inkwell Designers for engraving. They did a beautiful job in a short amount of time. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend this company.

Tracie Swafford

19:02 15 Sep 21

Just amazing! These guys can print on pretty much anything! In this case, it’s a super cool Al Capone photo, printed on leather, and ironed on to this cap. Whether you need one, or hundreds of thousands of products, Inkwell can handle it. This is the coolest merchandise company out there. Fast and easy!

Found Inkwell Designers online looking for a local business that could do some wood laser engraving and I wasn't disappointed!

Jonathan Reedy (TheJMReedy)

A recent review I wrote was intended to describe my experience I had at 'Gold Rush Jewelry' in Woodstock, Ga. NOT Inkwell Designers. Regarding engraving on fountain pens. I have heard only great things about Inkwell Designers and their impeccable work and professionalism.I have removed that review.

Desiree is excellent. I needed a Bible embossed for my husbands first personal Bible and I found her on Google. She's extremely professional but still friendly and makes sure you're taken care of. I was never left wondering about my item. the Bible is gorgeous and was done so quickly. I keep telling everyone to come to her instead of the bigger companies who won't care about you or your stuff. Desiree is the epitomy of fantastic business. If you want your stuff done beautifully and done well, this is the place. Will be using her solely in the future

Exceeded my expectations! While on Pinterest, came across Inkwell Designs and noticed a hand engraved nurses stethoscope which looked so personalized and unique. As a nurse, I know that stethoscopes are often misplaced or go missing and I thought this would be a perfect way to show ownership. I wanted to purchase
a Littman stethoscope for my daughter as a nursing grad gift but wasn’t impressed with the engraving services offered by several Littman distributors. I called all over the Tampa area and no one offered hand engraving. As a long shot I reached out to Desiree at Inkwell and she was very accommodating and agreed to engrave the gift. I shipped the stethoscope to her and she actually text me pictures of the finished product before shipping back, which by the way was about a week turn around time from Florida to Georgia. Great customer service and very impressed with the final product!

Lisa Stafford Jones

Desiree is amazing! My embossing job was quite small in scope, however she certainly didn't treat it as such. I met her Tuesday afternoon and she had my tote back to me on Saturday. I love my newest creation.

Desiree was fantastic to work with and very responsive. Couldn't be happier with the leather embossing.

Their customer service was excellent and they did a phenomenal job on my design for a wallet. I would definitely recommend their services as well as use them for any other projects I may have.

Absolutely the best work I have seen. Desiree was awesome on very short notice took on a wine bottle for us for our engagement, not just any wine bottle but , a select reserve from Chateau Meichtry. In addition I gave her a complex design which match the tattoo of my now fiancé which was not easy task. She was very responsive and interactive with me on design as well as helpful suggestions to make this even more special for us.

I highly recommend Inkwell and their staff for that special gift or memento…..very affordable and great craftsmanship on designs.

Much thanks,

Desiree recently engraved my stethoscope and also a special bottle of whiskey for my hubby's 50th birthday. She was fun, easy to work with and completed the job in mere minutes! Thank you for helping make these special gifts even more personalized and unique to us! <3

I got some coffee mugs done for me and some friends and they were absolutely wonderful! They took the time to really talk to me about whay what exactly I wanted, even at a busy event and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Plus, they were super nice which is always good. :)

I'll definitely be reaching out to them for future projects and recommend that everyone else does too!
