Traveler's Black Executive Shoeshine Kit*
The Traveler's Black Executive Shoeshine Kit is an eight-piece set that includes the case, black shoe polish, a buffing brush, a sewing kit, a sponge buffer, a lint brush, a shoe horn and a buffing cloth. The case has a snap closure and interior elastic bands to secure components, so each piece stays in its own place instead of loose in the bottom of a bag.
At 8.75"H x 3.25"L, the whole kit is the size of a slim book, which is the point of a traveler's kit rather than a shoe care box that lives under the hall bench. It goes in the suitcase, the desk drawer or the bottom of a briefcase and comes out fifteen minutes before a meeting, a wedding, a pitch or a funeral, when there is no time to do anything about scuffed shoes except fix them.
The black Ultra Hyde case gives the set an executive look, and everything inside works together: the black polish and the buffing brush do the real work, the sponge buffer and the buffing cloth bring the finish up, the lint brush takes care of the trouser cuffs, the shoe horn saves the back of the heel, and the sewing kit handles the button that always goes at the worst moment. Snap it shut and the elastic bands hold it all in position for the next trip.
Personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has personalized gifts since 1999, the case can carry a single initial. One letter is a quiet, grown-up mark: enough to tell your kit from a colleague's on a shared trip, enough to make a gift feel meant for one person, and never so much that the case stops looking like a piece of business equipment.
Add your initial above, choose your quantity, and give someone a gift they will use in every hotel room.

Which one should I choose
Shoe care gifts split by where they live: in a suitcase, in a drawer, or in a hall cupboard at home.
| Traveler's Black Executive Shoeshine Kit | Choose it when the kit has to travel: 8.75"H x 3.25"L, a snap-closed Ultra Hyde case with elastic bands holding eight pieces, and a single initial on the front. |
|---|---|
| Another engraved men's accessory from Tools + Rulers + Outdoors | Choose that when the gift should carry a full name, date or longer message, since this kit's personalization is limited to one character. |
| A loose tin of polish and a brush | Choose that only for shoe care at home; there is no case, nothing to keep the pieces together and nothing personal about it. |
For a gift that gets packed and used on the road, the shoeshine kit wins; pick a different engraved accessory when a whole name has to appear on it.
