about us

our story
Founded in 1983 by Florie and her daughter Lynn, That Personal Touch began as a small engraving gift shop with a passion for turning items into meaningful keepsakes. Today, Lynn and her husband Mitch continue that family tradition, personally handling every engraving with care and precision - all done on-site.
With over 40 years of experience, we’re experts in custom engraving and personalization, working on a wide range of materials and items - whether purchased from our shop or brought in by customers. From awards and jewelry to leather goods and glassware, if it can be engraved, we can do it.
We specialize in:
- Crystal and glass engraving - awards, barware, and keepsakes
- Laser engraving on wood, metal, acrylic, and more
- Hand engraving for fine details on heirlooms and jewelry
- Deep, lasting diamond drag engraving on metal
- Leather stamping and embossing - including blind, gold, and silver foil finishes
As a family-run business deeply rooted in Connecticut, we take pride in offering expert craftsmanship and personalized service to our local community and customers nationwide. Whether you’re ordering a custom gift or personalizing something special you already own, That Personal Touch is here to make it unforgettable.
