Personalised Compasses

Which personalised compass should you choose?

For a message-led gift, the brass compass and sundial with an icon combines six icon choices with up to five lines of engraving. It measures 7 cm across and 3 cm high and comes with a protective pouch. Choose an anchor, heart, wheel or compass design, then add a date, a short wish or your own message.

For a gift with several pieces, compare the Brass Compass, Telescope and Magnifying Glass Gift Set, which takes a name of up to 12 characters, with the Classic Brass Explorer Gift Set, which offers a message field of up to 100 characters.

Plan the engraving before ordering

A short message is usually easier to read than filling every line. The character limits vary between products and between lines on the same compass. Count spaces and punctuation, check names and dates, and follow the letter-case guidance beside the fields. Photographs show examples of personalisation.
