Birthdays and anniversaries are the obvious ones. But ask anyone which dates matter to them and the list quickly gets longer, and a lot more personal. Here are a few worth keeping.
The day you met
Not the wedding, the first hello. It's a date plenty of couples remember to the minute and almost never celebrate. Engraved in Roman numerals, it becomes a quiet reminder only the two of you need to understand, on a keyring one of you carries every day.
The day you got the keys
A first home, a fresh start, the house the children grew up in. Pair the date with the coordinates of the front door and you have a keepsake that maps a whole chapter of life.
A new arrival
Births, adoptions, the day a new puppy came home. A name and a date engraved together make a simple first keepsake, and one that means a little more with every year that passes.
Graduations, retirements and fresh starts
The end of one chapter and the start of the next deserves more than a card. A date someone has worked towards for years is exactly the kind worth holding on to.
In memory
Some of the most important dates are the hardest ones. An engraved leaf or keepsake can hold a name, a date and a few words: somewhere to put the feeling when it's needed. Take your time choosing what to write. We read every word before it's engraved.
Keep the words short
Whatever the date, a name, the date itself and a handful of words almost always say more than a long message. Browse the keepsakes to find the right home for yours.
