Personalized Silver Airplane Paperweight Standard/Metric Ruler*
Get flying high and stay grounded while you do it. Take a ride with the sleek and simple Personalized Silver Airplane Paperweight Standard/Metric Ruler, an amazingly unique piece that is beautifully designed, nickel plated and formed in the shape of a paper airplane. Let your mind take you back to the days of your childhood when you flew your own planes across a classroom, then look again: the sides are debossed with both metric and imperial units. It is a paperweight and a ruler, so everything you create truly measures up and you never have to worry about your papers flying away again.
On a desk it reads as an object rather than an accessory. The gleaming silver finish looks spectacular on any shelf or credenza, catching the light beside a monitor or holding down the stack of contracts that has been waiting all week. At 8.25 inches long it has enough presence to be noticed and enough weight to do its job, and you will never be overruled in the boardroom again with this creative combination.
This item makes the perfect gift for anyone who sits behind a desk. Make your office mate feel like an executive by giving one of these at the next office party. If the love of your life wants to add a little flair and fun to his workday, this conversation piece brings some much needed relief to a long day at the office.
It has a second life at a wedding. Show the men who made your big day possible just how much you really appreciate all of their hard work and loyalty, with something that stays on their desk long after the tuxedos have gone back. Go the extra mile and have it engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, with a special message, the name of your loved one, a date or an inside joke only the two of you will understand. Engraved, it stops being desk hardware and becomes the thing they keep.

Which one should I choose
A desk gift has to survive the first week on the desk, which rules out most of them.
| Personalized Silver Airplane Paperweight Standard/Metric Ruler | Choose it when you want one engraved object that is used daily, measures in metric and imperial, and looks like a sculpture on a credenza. |
|---|---|
| A plain glass or stone paperweight | Choose it when the desk needs weight and nothing else; it holds paper down but does not measure, and it says nothing about the person. |
| An engraved money clip or pen | Choose it when the gift needs to travel in a pocket rather than sit on a desk. |
For a groomsman or a colleague who works at a desk, the airplane paperweight does more than the alternatives and is seen every day.
