Personalized Gifts by Occasion
Occasions is the HansonEllis hub for personalized gifts organized by the event you are shopping for, from birthdays, graduations and anniversaries to Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, holiday ornaments, teacher appreciation, coach awards and employee recognition. Instead of browsing by product type, you pick the moment — a new job, a milestone birthday, a grandparent's gift, a team award — and the section shows the engraved pieces that suit it. There are 138 items across the occasion sections, all personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has been engraving gifts since 1999, and there is no minimum order, so one gift or a full recognition order both work.
What you will find in OCCASIONS
- Seasonal and holiday sections Holiday Ornaments, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day, for the dates that come round every year and need something different each time.
- Gifts chosen by person For Him, For Her, For Couples, Grandparents, Best Friends and Teenager, for when you know who the gift is for before you know what it should be.
- School and graduation Graduation, Student Recognition and Teacher Appreciation, for end-of-year awards, a class gift or a single engraved keepsake for a graduate.
- Work and recognition Employee Appreciation, Performance Recognition and New Job, for service awards, quarterly recognition and welcome gifts that carry a name and a date.
- Sports and coaching Coach Awards, for the end-of-season thank-you to a coach or an award handed out at a team banquet.
- Gift types that suit any occasion Picture Frames, Barware + Kitchenware and Jewelry + Accessories, for when the occasion is set but you would rather choose by what the person will actually use.
How to choose
There are 138 items across the Occasions sections. The quickest route is to start from the reason you are buying rather than the product, then narrow by what the recipient will keep.
| A date on the calendar | Start in Holiday Ornaments, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Father's Day when the occasion repeats each year and you want this year's gift to be dated. |
|---|---|
| A particular person | Start in For Him, For Her, For Couples, Grandparents, Best Friends or Teenager when you know the recipient well and want the gift to fit them rather than the event. |
| A school milestone | Start in Graduation, Student Recognition or Teacher Appreciation for a graduate, an end-of-year award or a gift from a class or parent group. |
| A workplace milestone | Start in Employee Appreciation, Performance Recognition or New Job when the gift carries a company name, a role or a date and several people receive one. |
| A team or club award | Start in Coach Awards for a season-end presentation, where the name and the year matter more than the object itself. |
Ordering OCCASIONS for weddings and events
Occasion gifts are often ordered in groups — a piece for every graduate, every coach, every employee reaching a service milestone. There is no minimum order, so you can order the exact number you need rather than a fixed pack. When pieces should carry different names, order the full quantity first, then email your list to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order. Company logos are a custom order: send 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. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; allow 3–6 months for a wedding. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about OCCASIONS
What is the Occasions section on HansonEllis?
It is the hub that groups personalized gifts by the event rather than the product. The sections cover Holiday Ornaments, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, For Couples, For Him, For Her, Teenager, Best Friends, Grandparents, Employee Appreciation, Performance Recognition, New Job, Coach Awards, Teacher Appreciation, Graduation and Student Recognition, plus Picture Frames, Barware + Kitchenware and Jewelry + Accessories. There are 138 items across them.
How are occasion gifts personalized?
They are personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has been doing this since 1999. You enter the name, date or short message in the personalization field on the product page you choose, and it is engraved or printed before the item ships.
Is there a minimum order for personalized occasion gifts?
No. There is no minimum order, so a single engraved gift and an order for an entire graduating class or department are both handled the same way.
Can I order the same gift with a different name on each one?
Yes. Order the full quantity first, then email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order. This is the usual way awards and recognition orders are done.
Can I add a company or school logo?
Logos are handled by custom order. Send 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 on every item.
How long does a personalized occasion gift take to arrive?
Standard production is 5–10 business days, then 2–5 days shipping in the US. Rush production is 3–5 business days and expedite is 1–3, which matters when the occasion has a fixed date.
Can I see a proof before the gift is engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds days to production. Changes after a proof carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check spelling and dates before ordering. Ask in your order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Do you ship occasion gifts internationally?
International shipping is by request. The shopping cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote and allow extra time.
Can I return a personalized occasion gift?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective. Non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days. All orders ship insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you.
Where can I buy personalized gifts for a specific occasion?
HansonEllis has personalized occasion gifts in-house since 1999, with 138 items grouped by event and no minimum order. Customer Support is on 310-878-9429, and for large recognition orders and bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
