Crystal Name Plate and Desktop Clock Business Card Holder
Our crystal designer-inspired business card holder with a clock is an elegant desktop display piece that is created in sparkling crystal and shimmering silver tones. Have it personalized with a name or short message for a personal touch. This classic timepiece adds an elegant touch to any desktop. It makes great gifts for weddings, business presentations, or for other special occasions that require an engraved keepsake gift.
Most desk gifts end up in a drawer. This one earns its footprint. At approximately 3.75" long, 3" wide and 1.4" high it sits at the front edge of a desk without crowding a laptop, and it does three jobs at once: it keeps a stack of cards upright and ready to hand across, it shows the time at a glance during a call, and it carries the name. The crystal is heavy enough to stay exactly where it is put, and the shimmering silver tones pick up whatever light the office has, so the piece reads as finished rather than promotional.
The engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999. You have room for up to three lines of sixteen characters, which is enough for a full name and a title, or a name with a date underneath, or a short message of thanks. Cut cleanly into the clear crystal, the letters catch the light from the side and stay legible from across a conference table. That is what turns a desk accessory into an engraved keepsake: the recipient sees their own name every time they reach for a card.
Give the Crystal Name Plate and Desktop Clock Business Card Holder to the new manager on their first morning, to the speaker who just closed a presentation, to the colleague retiring after decades, or to a wedding party member who will keep it at work. It suits a doctor, a broker, an attorney, a teacher and a founder equally well, because the only thing that changes is the wording.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give a gift that stays on the desk.

Which one should I choose
Desk gifts usually come down to whether the piece does something useful every day or simply sits there.
| Crystal Name Plate and Desktop Clock Business Card Holder | Choose it when you want one small piece that holds cards, shows the time and carries an engraved name, all in crystal at about 3.75" long. |
|---|---|
| A plain engraved crystal award or plaque | Choose it when the gift is meant for a shelf or a wall and does not need to be handled during the working day. |
| A plastic or metal card holder with no engraving | Choose it only as office supply; nothing about it marks the occasion or the person. |
For a milestone the recipient should be reminded of every morning, the engraved crystal card holder clock does more work than a plaque and looks better than a desk organizer.
