Crystal Academic Book Achievement Plaque Award
Give the gift of lasting memories with our distinguished Crystal Book. This fantastic keepsake is the perfect thing to give to anyone who holds a special place in your heart. Show that person how much you love them by engraving a message of love on the front and giving them this unique display.
Shaped like a bound volume, the Crystal Academic Book Achievement Plaque Award turns a long stretch of work into something solid you can hand across a stage. A degree finished, a dissertation defended, a scholarship won, a teacher honored after thirty years in the classroom: the front panel carries the name, the honor and the year, and the crystal does the rest, catching the light from across the room so the words are the first thing a visitor notices.
The Crystal Book makes an excellent gift for anyone with refined tastes. The sleek design of this centerpiece makes it perfect for virtually any occasion. Give it as a gift to a dear friend and have it displayed on the countertop. Surprise a BFF by engraving it with a special message and let her share in reminiscing those good times with you.
At 5"H x 4"W it has real weight in the hand and still fits on a desk, a mantel or a shelf beside the real books. The fine lead-free crystal is a refined version of a standard bound book, which is why the same piece works for an awards banquet, a graduation dinner and a wedding story written across the front.
There is room here for a whole inscription rather than a single name. Put the honoree on one line, the award on the next, the year under that, and your own sentence below, all engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. Years later it is still on the shelf, still saying the same thing, long after the printed certificate has yellowed.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give an award that gets kept.

Which one should I choose
Most people choosing a recognition gift are deciding between a printed certificate, a plain crystal piece and an engraved keepsake that carries the whole inscription.
| Crystal Academic Book Achievement Plaque Award | Choose it when the honor deserves six lines of engraving and a piece that stands upright on a desk or shelf long after the ceremony. |
|---|---|
| A printed certificate in a frame | Choose it when you need paper for a file or a wall, not an object the recipient will keep in view every day. |
| A plain, unengraved crystal keepsake | Choose it only as decor; without the name, the award and the year it records nothing in particular. |
If the point is to name the person and the achievement permanently, the engraved Crystal Academic Book Achievement Plaque Award is the one to order.
