Ways to Find the Right Engraved Compact Mirror for Your Loved Ones

Posted by The Engraved Gifts Company on August 5th, 2015

You will find a great selection of compact mirrors that can be engraved with a name or message online. Such gifts are stylish, elegant, and practical—no wonder they are very popular, In fact, engraved compact mirrors are some of the best-selling gifts for women. These compact mirrors come in all price points and shapes, from oval to round to square. All women appreciate them, which is why they are excellent gifts for mums, sisters, friends, and even girlfriends. Wondering which one to buy for that special person in your life? Here are some tips.

1. Don’t go too big.

The whole point of an engraved compact mirror is that it should fit unnoticeably in the purse or clutch. Choose one that is large enough so that the user can comfortably use it, but small enough to slide easily into a small handbag.

2. Go for quality.

There are far too many disposable compact mirrors made of low-quality plastic. They don’t make good gifts, as they a look flimsy and feel cheap. If you want your gift to be treasured, be sure that it is made of the best quality materials and detail. Silver plated engraved compact mirrors are always elegant. They are so timeless that some of them even last a lifetime, with proper care. Unlike compact plastic mirrors, harder metal cases are also much more durable; they won’t break if carried in the pocket, as they don’t yield to flexing and banding movements. Weaker plastics tend to crack.

3. Two mirrors are (often) better than one.

Choose a personalised compact with two mirrors—one magnified and one standard. The double magnified mirror helps being smaller details into view, and can be very practical for putting on makeup or trimming the eyebrows.

4. Packaging is important.

Choose an engraved compact mirror that comes in a velour pouch for that added luxury. To take your gift further up a notch, add a luxury gift box.

Why Engrave It?


A compact mirror is just a compact mirror until you engrave it with a special message or a monogram. Engraving makes it not only more personal but also much more luxurious. Personalisation can certainly make any gift elegant and unique. Luckily, you can now order engraved compact mirrors online. Simply choose the style you prefer and type the name, initials, or short message that you want to have engraved.
