A buddy of mine once gave a friend a flask for his birthday. Pretty standard gift, right? What made it awesome was that he had it engraved with a hilariously naughty song lyric, far too naughty to put in this article...

That tiny detail has always cracked me up. The look on his face when he opened it was unforgettable.

If you're looking for a simple way to give more meaning to a basic gift, consider having it engraved.

It's not something you probably think about doing often, unless you've been married half a dozen times...but you can take an ordinary gift and make it really personal to someone you love just by adding their name, an inside joke, or a silly phrase that makes them laugh every time they see it.

Suddenly, you've gone from "I bought you a gift" to "I actually thought about you when I bought this." It's gonna score you some major relationship points. Just wait.

There are a few places in Lubbock to choose from, but I recommend having it done at Woodshed Gifts, located in KK's Corner Mall. KK's has so many gift items in the store; you could probably get everything you need to make someone's birthday awesome in one place.

Just a little gift-giving tip for the upcoming holiday season!
