Memories of sharing moments with parents and grandparents will forever be etched in time with our Silver Yo-Yo.
Engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, the polished nickel-plated case takes a short message, a name or a three-letter monogram, cut cleanly into the mirror finish. That is what turns a toy into a keepsake: a child's name and the year, a grandfather's initials, the date of the summer you taught them to walk the dog and rock the baby.
The Silver Yo-Yo is a great way to while away a busy workday too, just don't let your boss know. Give the Silver Yo-Yo to that hardworking professional in your life. The Silver Yo-Yo makes an elegant addition to any vintage collection and looks amazing displayed by itself or set beside other authentic and unique games.
At 1.1"H x 2.1"D it fits a pocket, a desk drawer, a groomsman's gift bag or a Christmas stocking, and it weighs enough to feel like the real thing rather than a party favor. String color may be white or black.
There's nothing better than the look of joy in a child's eye, and that's exactly what you'll see when you give your child their very first Silver Yo-Yo. The time spent sharing and teaching will be treasured almost as much as the yo-yo itself. Everyone can feel like a kid again with our delightful Engraved Silver Yo-Yo.

Which one should I choose
A yo-yo is bought either as a toy, as a desk piece or as a keepsake, and the engraving is what decides which one you end up with.
| Polished Nickel-Plated Yo-Yo, engraved | Choose it when the gift should still be around in twenty years: a silver-finish yo-yo with a name, year or monogram cut into the case. |
|---|---|
| A plastic toy yo-yo | Choose it for a party bag; it plays the same but carries no name and does not get kept. |
| An engraved keepsake that is not a toy | Choose it when the recipient will only display the gift; the yo-yo is meant to be picked up and used. |
For a gift that is played with and kept, the engraved Polished Nickel-Plated Yo-Yo does both, which a plastic toy or a display-only keepsake cannot.
