  Everyone loves receiving a gift from the heart especially when it contains a personalized message from the sender. Even if you wait until the last minute to purchase a gift, many engraving companies offer same-day shipping on products purchased online or engraving while you wait. If you're shopping at the mall, you can conveniently drop the item off and pick it up when you are done shopping. Here are a few gifts that can be personalized the same day.
  
  

Shirts

• A personalized shirt is a gift that can be worn and treasured for many years. Personalize a T-shirt by having it embossed with a meaningful phrase or special photo on the front or back. For dress shirts, have the recipients initials stitched into the cuff or the collar of the shirt.
  
  

Jewelry

• Adding an inscription to a piece of jewelry always gives it that extra special touch. Engrave a locket with a couple's anniversary on the back. A bracelet with a baby's name on it is a cherished gift for any new mother. Take personalized jewelry one step further by including a photo inside for a gift that will be cherished for a lifetime.
  
  

Photo Frame

• Personalized photo frames are a wonderful way to commemorate a birthday, wedding or any special memory. Photo frames can be engraved with names, phrases, dates or any other words that have personal meaning to the recipient. Include a photo inside of the frame to create the perfect gift.
  
  

Keepsake Box

• A keepsake box is a special place to hold valuable items. An engraved keepsake box can be given as a stand-alone gift or used to hold another gift inside. Either way, it is a gift that keeps on giving.
