Christmas Eve Boxes
Thursday 21st September 2017
With Christmas fast approaching thoughts are turning to Christmas Gifts. In the last couple of years these Christmas Eve boxes have become very popular. The idea is that on christmas eve children are allowed to open this box which generally contains a pair of pyjamas a small book and a treat of some description. (contents not included) My boxes which are larger than most at 10" x 8" and are 4" deep. They are engraved with a santa a snowman and of course santa's sleigh and to make these extra special i will engrave any name of your choice. All this for £19.95.
Lasered Door Mats Seriously :) !!!!
Thursday 14th September 2017
Loving my second laser engraver. Thought the first was good but the possibilities with this new one are absolutely endless. You can tell how sad i am when i spend every waking moment thinking what i can laser next , wood, marble, acrylic, torches,hip flasks, leather, glass, you name it. This week i have had a go at carpet door mats. The star wars one was my first attempt as my grandson Joshua is mad on star wars and he very proudly has this mat in his bedroom. I was pleased at how it came out although i was a bit disappointed with Yoda as it wasn't as bold as i would have liked. Then i had the idea of…

Friday 18th August 2017
With just over a week to go until Bettws Banger Racing drivers will be eagerly getting their cars prepped ready for the big day blood sweat and tears and maybe a few swear words along the way. Its a fantastic day out for all the family if you have never been you really should go, i promise you wont be disappointed. The commentary is hilarious and its just such a good all round experience with a great atmosphere. There are lots of stalls and eateries there too . Something for everyone. The best part of this event which i think is in its 7th year is all of the money goes to charity last year they raised an amazing £85,000…

Monday 26th June 2017
Its not every day that you get to engrave something that has been won by the queen mother "not just once but 3 times" I wonder if she sat it Buckingham Palace polishing it as if it was her pride and joy???

New staff at Severn Trophies
Thursday 30th March 2017
I have owned and ran Severn Trophies on my own for the last 23 years. The pressure is starting to get to me (think its my age) especially in the busy season. So i have decided to bring in my other half to help. Gary and i have been together for 13 years and he has always been there to call on when my computers need fixing or engravers need setting up & servicing etc. He is now going to be working front of house serving customers answering the phone and also helping to put orders together in the back. Hes actually proving himself as a pretty good engraver too ( more about that in the next blog) watch this…
