Senior Night Gifts: Engraved Keepsakes for Athletes, Cheerleaders, and Band Members

Senior night is one of those evenings that's over before anyone is ready for it. The announcer reads off a name, the parents walk out on the field or the floor, there are flowers and a framed picture, and then everybody goes home. A good keepsake is what makes it last longer than the night.

A plaque with the details

A wood plaque with the athlete's name, number, the sport, and the years they played is the classic choice for a reason. It looks right on a bedroom shelf now and in a man cave or office later. Add the team name and the season, and it tells the whole story at a glance.

Gifts for the parents too

Parents spend years in the stands and in the car. A smaller plaque or an ornament with their kid's name and the year gives them something to hold onto after the last game.

Cheer, band, volleyball, and everything that isn't football

Senior night isn't only a football thing. Band members, cheerleaders, volleyball players, cross country runners, and soccer players all have a senior night, and all of them deserve something with their name on it. Use the instrument, the uniform number, or the team colors as the starting point for the design.

How far ahead should you order for senior night?

Earlier than you think. A custom piece needs a design proof, a few days of production, and shipping time, and fall is busy. Give yourself at least two or three weeks, and more if you're ordering for a whole group.

Can you do a whole team at once?

Yes. Send us a roster with the names spelled exactly how they should appear, and we can do matching pieces for everyone. Spelling is the thing that trips people up on big orders, so have someone double-check the list before you send it. Team orders also usually qualify for volume pricing, so ask for a quote.

If you're planning a senior night gift, tell us the sport, the date, and how many you need, and we'll work backward from there.
