Perfume Bottle Engraving with a Twist: A Unique Gift for Mother’s Day at Bloomingdale’s Lenox Mall

May 14, 2024 By Desiree Colonna

This Mother’s Day, Bloomingdale’s in Lenox Mall, Atlanta, hosted a unique gift-giving experience that featured perfume bottle engraving with a personalized twist. As an engraver dedicated to creating special memories, I offered bespoke perfume bottle engraving services, elevating the simple act of gifting into an unforgettable moment for many shoppers.

Perfume bottle engraving is a timeless way to personalize a gift, making it more than just a fragrance. Each bottle I engraved was carefully adorned with names and heartfelt messages, integrating each element elegantly into the bottle’s design. This year, however, we decided to enhance our perfume bottle engraving service even further.

What set our perfume bottle engraving apart was the addition of custom-made floral decals, which no other engraver is currently offering. These unique decals are designed and produced in my office using an advanced UV printer, which allows for vibrant, precise, and durable designs that complement the elegant text of the engraving. I used uv direct to transfer material to create the floral decals.

The combination of perfume bottle engraving with these exclusive floral decals was met with great enthusiasm from customers at Bloomingdale’s! They loved the opportunity to watch their chosen perfume bottles transform into personalized works of art, enhanced visually with the decals inspired by the beauty of Mother’s Day.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the innovative approach to traditional perfume bottle engraving. This service not only provided a personal touch but also made each gift a visual representation of love and appreciation.

Our perfume bottle engraving event at Bloomingdale’s truly changed the way people thought about Mother’s Day gifts. It was more than just picking out a perfume—it was about crafting a personalized expression of affection that could be treasured for years to come. It was a joy to see so many mothers delighted by such thoughtful and beautifully crafted presents.

Celebrating a Million Customers with Style: Inkwell Designers Embossed Leather Keyfobs at Purchasing Power Event in Atlanta

October 6, 2023 By Desiree Colonna

Embossed leather keyfobs were the gift of choice to celebrate Purchasing Power’s impressive milestone of serving one million customers. To commemorate this momentous occasion, a fun afternoon event was organized in Atlanta, one designed to express gratitude while also exemplifying the quality and success that define the brand. This celebration saw the collaboration of Purchasing Power with Inkwell Designers®, known for their mastery in cold embossed leather keyfobs.

Inkwell’s cold embossing method is eco-friendly and requires no electricity or heat. Its truly a carbon neutral event activation unlike any other out there.

Inkwell Designers’ reputation for crafting exquisite cold embossed leather keyfobs made them the ideal partner for creating personalized gifts for loyal employees of Purchasing Power. These beautifully crafted keyfobs served as the perfect keepsakes to mark this significant and impressive milestone.

What made this collaboration truly exceptional was Inkwell Designers’ unwavering commitment to quality, which seamlessly aligns with Purchasing Power’s core values. Notably, all of Inkwell’s leather materials are sourced and manufactured in the USA, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and sustainability. This shared dedication to excellence was a focal point of the celebration.

The event itself was an outstanding success. Inkwell Designers established a station where they expertly cold embossed gold monograms onto leather keyfobs. Customers had the unique opportunity to witness the intricate and artistic process up close, as each keyfob was transformed into a distinctive work of art. Seeing their individual initials on each embossed leather keyfob gave each employee a renewed sense of pride in the company. They couldn’t wait to show off their gifts to friends and family.

The event showcased Inkwell’s meticulous attention to detail and their passion for their cold embossing craft, evident in every keyfob produced. Attendees left the event not only with a beautiful keepsake but also with a profound appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship created by Desiree Colonna, Inkwell’s owner and CEO.

As Purchasing Power celebrated their one millionth customer, they expressed heartfelt gratitude to each and every individual who contributed to this remarkable journey. They eagerly anticipate the opportunity to continue providing the best products and services, all while maintaining their unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability.

Live Event Embossing for Cushman & Wakefield in Orlando

January 23, 2020 By Desiree Colonna

Live event embossing activations are one of the most popular services we offer the event industry. We recently worked with Cushman & Wakefield, commercial real estate brokers, at a convention in Orlando, Florida.

Our live embossing event consisted of adding guests monogram in gold or silver foil to leather keyfobs and journals. We monogrammed over 200 items within a 3 hour event. Guests lined up with excitement the moment we arrived and started setting up our equipment. The buzz grew throughout the three hours we were there and the line never ended.

The keyfobs and journals were made of genuine leather. Our live embossing event included stamping up to 3 letters of a monogram in gold foil, silver foil or with no color. We stamped the logo on the items before the event and added the monogram on the other side.

We had two embossers at this live event. Each could stamp 60 items per hour.

Guests love the live event embossing activation so much we were out of product at the very end. The lines never ended the entire time we were there.

This lady had us emboss a keyfob for her 3 week old grandchild. She was so excited to give her daughter this gift. “Its my grandson’s first monogrammed gift!” she exclaimed. We love stories like these at our live event embossing activations! Our monogramming makes a beautiful gift for any occasion.

We had a lot of guests tell us how wonderful the activation was. There is something about seeing your initials put on an item during an event which is magical.

Party Table Decorations for Sugarbear Sleep

November 25, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Party table decorations made of clear acrylic, laser cut and engraved, were the talk of the night at the Sugarbear Sleep launch party hosted by People® Magazine in New York City. We created custom stir sticks, food menus and drink menus specifically for the event. Laser cutting and engraving were needed in order to custom create the acrylic items they wanted at the event.

Party table decorations are always created with a theme in mind. The cute Sugarbear “bear” was the theme we used for each item.

The stir sticks were fun because we cut out the Sugarbear logo on them. That was an unexpected twist–get it?

The menus also had the bear engraved on the bottom. Party table decorations are always fun to create because we can get very innovative with our laser equipment.

The food and drink menus also carried the Sugarbear theme with the logo laser engraved on the bottom. We had to use a laser to cut the acrylic and to get the fine details our client was looking for. We can cut any shape and detail you’d like with our laser machine.

We laser cut and engraved all party table decorations with our studio laser. The frosted engraving turned out beautifully.

Our party table decorations were the perfect addition to this event which helped launch the new Sugarbear Sleep product. The event was hosted by People® Magazine and held in New York City. Our laser cut clear acrylic is the perfect modern accessory for any party and went with the entire theme. We can also find acrylic in any color you would like including mirror and frosted colors.

If you’re looking for custom party table decorations, we can help! We’d love to hear about your project and design items with our laser cutting and engraving service. Contact us at 833 INK-WE11 or 833 465-9311 before your next event.

Leather Embossing Experience in Lisbon for PitchBook Data

November 9, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Our leather embossing experience is always a favorite activation at events for our clients and their guests. If you want lines in your booth, this is the way to do it. Our leather stamping experience is always a big hit at conferences around the world! Our latest embossing event was in Lisbon, Portugal.

We were invited to create our leather embossing experience for guests at the PitchBook Investor booth at WebSummit 2019. We embossed journals one day and luggage tags a couple days later at the event. After we were done on day one, people never stopped coming by looking for us. There was even a line waiting for us the second day of our leather stamping activation!

Word got out quickly among conference attendees the first day of our activation and spread like wildfire. Our client, PitchBook Data, even asked us to stay 30 minutes later the first day and also add more hours our second day in order to fulfill everyone’s orders. That’s how popular our leather embossing experience always is, no matter where in the world we go! Our client was blown away at the popularity of the activation and very pleased at how many people came to the booth.

The key to successful event activations is making sure there are enough salespeople in your booth to talk to guests while they are waiting in line for their personalized items. Keep in mind, they aren’t waiting long. Each embossing only takes less than one minute. PitchBook understood this from day one and made sure their Investor Relations folks were on hand to talk about their platform with everyone.

Our leather embossing experience was so popular, we had to turn people away at the end of the activation time. The lines never stopped! Everyone loved their stamped journals and luggage tags. It really makes a difference when you give away a high quality, personalized item at your events. People remember your company and will keep your beautiful gifts for a long time to come.

Personalized Water Bottles for Chick-fil-A®

November 1, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Our personalized water bottles created at an event held at the Chick-fil-A corporate office were so popular, employees at the store in St. Augustine, Florida called and requested them. The local St. Augustine public relations and marketing team heard about how we customized water bottles with vinyl onsite at the corporate office and asked for our help making the transition from foam cups to plastic water tumblers fun and exciting for their employees.

We personalized the water bottles to support the initiative very dear to them, environmental conservation in an area inhabited by sea turtles. Fun fact: Many Florida beaches welcome over 100,000 female turtles who lay their eggs every year! Using plastic cups instead of foam greatly reduces the environmental impact on these beautiful and wild sea creatures.

We customized the water bottles to order after the store marketing team sent us a spreadsheet with all the names, monograms and nicknames. Amazingly, we were able to turn the project around in less than a week. The logoed water bottles were sent to our office where we prepared them for the vinyl. We personalized 50 cups for the team in our studio with red permanent vinyl which matched the Chick-fil-A colors perfectly.

We used our Brother® ScannCut vinyl cutting machine to cut permanent vinyl decals for all the personalized water bottles. Then we carefully applied them in our studio and boxed them up for shipping.

We had a great time working with the Chick-fil-A staff members. They were pleasantly surprised at how many employees wanted the personalized water bottles and already plan on hiring us to create more.

If you’re looking for an event activation similar to this one for your company, please feel free to contact us at (833) INK-WE11 or (833) 465-9311. We’d love to create customized items for your next corporate event!
