Polished Silver Oval Alarm Clock With Photo Frame*
No one likes to be apart from the ones they love. The Polished Silver Oval Alarm Clock With Photo Frame is crafted in a sleek high polish, all metal finish, and it opens to reveal a travel sized alarm clock on one side and a photograph on the other. The inside of the lid displays a photo that slides in behind a clear plastic panel, so the first thing seen in an unfamiliar hotel room at six in the morning is a familiar face rather than a strange ceiling. Closed, it is a small oval of polished silver that goes into a carry-on without complaint. Open, it is the nightstand from home, set down on somebody else's furniture.
It is a serious alarm clock as well as a sentimental one, and it is sure to wake even the heaviest sleeper. That makes it a genuinely useful gift for anyone who travels for business, and just as good for the people who travel for pleasure and still refuse to trust a phone to wake them.
The cover is where the engraving goes. HansonEllis engraves it in-house, as it has for customers since 1999, with up to two lines of twelve characters: a set of initials, two names, a date, or a short line that means something only to the person opening it. Newlyweds have their new initials put on the cover and keep it out in their first home together.
It earns its place when nobody is travelling, too. On a nightstand it keeps a picture of the little ones beside you while you sleep. Give it to a high school graduate heading off to college and they will be reminded of home every time they look at your smiling face. It looks beautiful on any surface, complements any decor, and sits happily on a bookshelf, on a desk, or alongside other silver pieces, adding charm and class to everything near it.

Which one should I choose
This clock is doing two jobs at once, which is the thing to weigh when you choose between it and the obvious alternatives.
| Polished Silver Oval Alarm Clock With Photo Frame | Choose it when the gift should travel, wake someone up, and show a face from home, with initials engraved on the cover. |
|---|---|
| A plain travel alarm clock | Choose that when it is a piece of luggage kit rather than a gift and there is nobody's photo to carry. |
| A framed photograph for the nightstand | Choose that when the photo is the point and the clock is not, and it never has to leave the bedroom. |
| A phone alarm and a lock screen photo | The default, and the reason nobody gets given anything; it also dies when the battery does. |
For someone who is away from home often, the engraved oval clock wins because it does the job of both the other two and folds shut.

How big is it?
2"H x 2.6"W x .75"D, so it closes flat enough to travel in a carry-on.

The photo is inserted behind the clear plastic panel inside the lid, so you supply your own picture and trim it to fit.

Can a logo be engraved on the cover?
A logo is handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced, and the cover is small.
Can each clock have different wording if I order several?
Yes. Order the full quantity, then email your list to [email protected] after ordering so each cover is engraved to match.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one as a single gift or one for every member of a group. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Can I see a proof before the cover is engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your spelling and character count before ordering.

Do you ship internationally, and can I return it?
International shipping is by request; the cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote. Personalized items are made to order and final sale unless defective, while an unpersonalized clock can be returned within 14 days.
