personalized Golf Tees” />

personalized golf tees are one of those items that are both fun and functional at the same time. I love to play golf and about once a round I’ll find a tee that has been personalized. I’m always amazed at the message that is on the tee. Some are inspirational, some have a swing tip, and some have marketing messages. Here’s a list of just a few that I’ve found recently.

• “Keep you head down”
• “ACME Roofing”
• “Grip it n Rip It”
• “Hole in One”
• “Happy Fathers Day”

I also find a number of tees that have web site address on them. I think many of those are left on the tees on purpose as a marketing strategy, and it works! Many times I’ve taken them home and looked up the site to see what they were all about.

When to Give personalized Tees as a Gift

I’m getting to the age were I have friends starting to retire that love to play golf. So I’ve given them personalized tees as part of my retirement gift to them. I use the messages to pass along something personal to the retiree so every time they tee it up they will think of where they came from.

Tees also make great gifts for birthdays, bachelor parties, holiday gifts, corporate events, and party favors as well.

Hint: Buy tees from a somewhere that allows you to use more then one message line. You can normally only get 20 characters on a tee so having multiple lines is important.

Where to Get Personalized Golf Tees

There are a number of sites on the internet were you can order tees from. My personal favorite is PersonalizationMall.com. At this site you can order anywhere from 150 to 1000 tees, have up to 4 messages, and they have an incredible number colors to choose from, check them out:

Standard Colored Tees
Pastel Colored Golf Tees

Personalized Golf Tees make a unique golf gift for your favorite golfer and they make a great marketing tool for your business as well

You are searching for a few unique wedding gift ideas?

I’ve complied some tips to help you come up with some great gift ideas. How about engraving a gift with the couple’s names and the wedding date? Like a picture frame or a photo album?

Of course, you could always go to the couple’s registry and pick something from there, but then your gift wouldn’t be very unique.

Here are some tips to help you come up with some great, unique wedding gift ideas.

Ask yourself these questions:

• What do you know about the couple?
• What do they like?
• Where are they planning to spend their honeymoon?
• What’s their personality?
• What is their lifestyle?

The answers to these questions can give you ideas for a gift that displays your thoughtfulness and care.

Here are just a few gift ideas to ponder:

1. Keepsake Box - As time goes by, memories begin to fade, and what better and more unique gift than a special box where they can safely store all those precious mementos that become more cherished as the years go by? This box is perfect for things like: marriage license, special photos, place cards, vows, and all those other special keepsakes that often get lost as time passes.
2. Silver Plated Picture Frames - the perfect way to display favorite photos of their special day. Have them engraved with the couple’s names and the wedding date for a treasured memory.
3. Reflections Wedding Invitation Frame - Have their wedding invitation, or other special verse engraved on a glass sculpture. This will be treasured for years to come, and definitely unique. Or, for a little variation, get the actual invitation, and mount it on a glass plate and finish it with matching colored paint.
4. Our Honeymoon Wood Photo Album - this could be made out of wood, with something like “A Honeymoon to Remember” engraved on the cover: a perfect place to capture those wonderful honeymoon memories.

You should now be armed with some unique wedding gift ideas to help you find the perfect gift for your friends and family.
