We spend so much time on our devices, like our Apple products. They are also among the most common gifts given on birthdays and to celebrate other occasions, especially when personalized as an engraved iPad.
Aside from the famous logo, though, they have little personality, which is something we all want to ensure when giving a gift to show how much we care or commemorate a milestone. That’s one of the reasons that iPad engraving and Apple Pencil engraving continue to rise in popularity as a creative way to customize devices.
Engraving Basics
It’s important and responsible to remind you that any alterations to your Apple Pencil, iPad Pro, iPad Air, or other Apple products, such as engraving, will potentially void their warranty and make them difficult or even impossible to resell. This is an important consideration before you think about iPad or related device engraving ideas.
Once you have decided you want to proceed with Apple product personalization, you can think about ideas for engraving on an iPad, whether you want your laser engraved or engraved by hand, and whether you are going to risk doing this yourself or enlist the services of expert and experienced engravers such as Furnells of London.
Engraving Ideas
So, now you’ve decided to personalize an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, or another similar product. How do you decide on what to get engraved on it to make it absolutely unique and perfect for yourself or for the loved one, friend, relative or another person for whom you are going to create this stand-out, one-of-a-kind gift? We’ve come up with the following iPad engraving ideas to give you some inspiration. Additionally, consider funny engraving ideas to add a touch of humour and creativity to your personalized gift.
Name or Initials
Simple and personal engraving of someone’s name on their device can be made more special by choosing a particular font that suits them and their personality.
Inspirational Quote
This is a particularly good idea if the person is going to be using their device for more than just leisure. The right inspirational quote could help someone keep studying or get their work done even on a bad day. Alternatively, a funny quote might be just the thing to help someone look on the bright side on a stressful day, too. Keep in mind that for iPads, you can engrave either one line or an optional secondary line underneath, emphasizing the limitation to one short line of text.
Important Dates
Want to make sure your love doesn’t forget your wedding anniversary? Get it engraved on their iPad! Other dates you could consider might be a date of birth – especially if it is a gift to wish them a happy birthday.
Artistic Designs
One of the best things about laser engraving is that it can easily reproduce intricate designs and line drawings without risking a mistake. If you have talent as an artist, you could design your own or use a design the intended recipient has created as a surprise.
Coordinates
Adding the coordinates of a special place, somewhere you met the person or where a significant life event happened is a highly personal engraving that feels like a personal little secret between you.
Pet Portraits
Pictures of beloved pets can be turned into amazing engravings using laser engraving software. Perfect for animal lovers. You can turn a photo of a pet into a line drawing using an online app and then hand it over your your engraver.
Musical Notes or Symbols
For a musician, there might be no better way to personalize an iPad than by engraving a musical note or series of notes. The recipient doesn’t have to be a musician, though – you could consider the notes of a favourite song – one that has meaning for you both and your relationship.
Family Crest
A family crest makes a great engraving, especially for a shared family iPad or perhaps for your parents.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Engraving
An iPad is a costly item, so if you are opting to get one engraved, you should ensure you use a quality engraving service. Be sure to consider the recipient’s personality and preferred styles, or if it is for yourself, that it is a design you are happy to have around forever (or at least as long as the life of your iPad).
Conclusion
There’s no doubt that thoughtfully engraved devices such as iPads make a gift with lasting impact. With forethought, planning, and creativity, you can pick wording or a design that truly reflects someone’s personality and demonstrates how well you know them.
