Contemporary Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board*
Enjoy a friendly game of Tic Tac Toe in style with the Contemporary Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board.
A contemporary relic for childhood reminiscence, the Contemporary Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board keeps you in touch with your childhood memories. The game board includes aluminum pieces within an elaborate folding case. Line 'em up in a row and let the game begin. There is a particular sound to metal pieces set down on a metal board, and it is the reason this one gets picked up off a desk and played instead of admired.
The Tic-Tac-Toe board serves as the ideal token souvenir to loved ones on special events. Its polished aluminum folding case stands out to adorn any desktop, closing flat over the pieces so nothing goes missing between games. At 4" square it is small enough for a coffee table, a nightstand, a carry-on or the corner of an office desk, which is exactly where most of them end up living.
Have the game board personalized with your own choice of words for that delicate touch and to increase sentimental value when presenting as a favor or have it serve as memorabilia for your event. Two names and a date. A class year. An inside joke that only the person receiving it will understand. The wording is personalized in-house by HansonEllis, who have been personalizing gifts since 1999, so a run of twenty for a reunion table all read the same way.
A simple game of Tic-Tac-Toe is perfect to cheer up and build fun filled memories. It is a radically distinctive keepsake gift to celebrate any special occasion. Find it useful for class reunions, anniversaries, or perhaps a wedding for a different taste. It also solves the quiet problem every host knows: the long gap between the meal and the dancing, when a small game at each place setting does more for a room than another printed card.
Guests take it home, and unlike most favors it keeps doing something. It sits out. It gets played. Years later the aluminum still carries the wording you chose, which is more than can be said for most things handed out at a reception.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and give your guests a favor they will still be playing with next year.
