June is a difficult month for gift-givers. Between Father’s Day and graduation ceremonies plus gifts for teachers and students in need of extra praise, choosing thoughtful gifts can be a challenge.

A trophy is a great way to say “I love you” or “Congratulations” without sounding as generic as a greeting card or coffee mug.

Because a trophy has both longevity and creativity potential. You can etch in glass or metal a message the recipient will cherish forever.

Trophy Central knows, however, that crafting the perfect message is not always easy.

So we’ve made up some message “prompts” that you can fill in with your own words.
