Are you looking for handwriting gifts as a special keepsake, or wondering where to get memorial gifts made from a loved one’s writing? You’ve come to the right place. A handwriting present is one made from actual writing: a loved one’s note, letter, or birthday card can be transferred onto a gift, whether made into jewelry, engraved onto metal, or transferred onto a dish.

On this list, you’ll find functional + heartfelt handwriting gifts for her, him, and for couples. We’ve found wedding dress labels for the bride, handkerchiefs, tie patches for the groom, and sweet recipes-turned-handwritten-gifts for the couple to use in their kitchen. These gift ideas aren’t limited to weddings alone: you’ll find treasured handwriting jewelry and home decor you’ll love, all right here.

We’re kicking off this list with our favorite (and probably most tear-jerking) handwriting gift: a handkerchief designed for the bride with her father’s handwriting. This is such a sweet and bittersweet gift idea and is available exclusively at HookandHoop.

1. Handkerchief Made from Handwriting

You can get a handkerchief made from a loved one’s handwriting, as shown in this example. The bride carried her father’s words down the aisle with her and had it close-at-hand for wedding day tears. By Hook + Hoop.

As you can see, ‘Dad’ is taken from a handwritten note and transferred onto a hand-embroidered handkerchief.

You can get one made here.

3. Woven Throw Blanket

Although this doesn’t count as one of the gifts made from actual handwriting (it’s a font instead), it is written with your favorite heartfelt words. You can take a favorite letter or note written by a loved one and have it printed onto this woven blanket that looks like looseleaf paper. By FrankiePrintCo.

4. Cuff Links Made from Your Handwriting

Gifts made from handwriting aren’t just for memorial gifts; they make incredibly sweet and personal wedding gifts, too. The bride can give a pair of cuff links to the groom with a handwritten note, such as, “I’ll love you forever” written in her actual writing. I love this idea! By GeorgieDesigns.

I know because Andrew has a Zippo and LOVES it. :) By WoodPresentStudio.
