Some gifts get used. This one gets kept.
A working sundial compass in solid brass, personalized with your photo, message, name, date, handwriting or own design.
Solid Brass, Made to Order
The compass has an antique-finished solid brass surface. Your personalization is cut into the metal with precision fiber-laser engraving.
A Working Compass and Sundial

Custom Engraving: Text, Photo or Handwriting
Text personalization supports up to 100 characters in the text-entry option. The on-screen preview is a reference for your personalization; uploaded artwork may be professionally formatted by our designer before engraving so it fits the available engraving area cleanly.
Please check spelling, dates and punctuation carefully before ordering. We do not change the wording you submit without contacting you.
It Arrives Ready to Give
Each order is carefully packaged for gifting. A wooden presentation box is available as an optional upgrade. If you are sending it straight to the recipient, tell us at checkout and we will include a handwritten note card at no charge.
Who It's For
Anniversaries, retirements, graduations, birthdays, farewells and meaningful milestones.
Engraved Compass Gifts for Every Occasion
Anniversary gifts — Engrave the coordinates of where you met, or the date itself. A personalized compass is a traditional gift for milestone anniversaries and one of the few that gets kept rather than used up.
Gifts for him — Fathers, husbands and boyfriends who say they want nothing are the hardest to buy for. A custom engraved compass is the rare object that is useful, personal and not a gadget.
Retirement gifts — For someone at the end of one chapter and the start of another, an engraved brass compass carries the message without needing a speech.
Graduation gifts — A personalized compass for a graduate marks the moment they choose their own direction. Engrave the date, the school, or something you would rather say in three words than thirty.
Wedding and groomsmen gifts — Engraved compasses work as groomsmen gifts, best man gifts and wedding party keepsakes. Each one can carry a different name.
Memorial and remembrance gifts — A memorial compass engraved with a name, a date or a line from a reading gives grief something to hold.
Travel gifts — For someone who is always leaving, or always coming back. Engrave coordinates of home.
Father's Day gifts — A personalized sundial compass is a Father's Day gift that lasts longer than the day.
