Gifts for a new car owner, a team, or a long list

New car. A key fob cover made for their exact key is a gift they touch every time they drive. The catch is knowing their key type without spoiling the surprise. Our new car gift ideas post covers that, and the new car gifts collection has every cover in one place.

Clients and teams. Card holders, business card cases and wallets carry a logo well. Send the product, the quantity, your logo file and your delivery date, and we reply with options, price and timing before you pay. Read how logo leather gifts work.

Office exchange. If the limit is $40, see our leather gifts under $40 for coworkers and Secret Santa.

What should I engrave on a leather gift?

Short and specific beats long and general. A few that work well:

  • Initials in the order they sign them. Check whether they use a middle initial.
  • A date: a wedding, a first date, a child's birthday, the day they got the keys to the new car. 06.14.2019 fits where a sentence will not.
  • Coordinates of a first home, a hometown or a wedding venue, like 40.75°N 73.98°W. These fit the wristlet keychain.
  • A first name on an initial keychain, so the letter and the name read together.
  • A phone number inside a wallet or on a keychain, so lost keys can find their way home.
  • A logo for clients or a team, on card holders, wallets and business card cases.

We engrave exactly what you type. Read it aloud before you check out, and check every number in a date or a set of coordinates.

How do I get the size right for a surprise gift?

Three pieces need a size: key fob covers, watch straps and phone holsters. For a key, take a photo of the front and back of their fob and compare it with the Key Type chart, or send the photo to us. For a watch, the lug width is the gap between the lugs where the strap attaches; our watch strap size guide explains how to measure it. For a phone, you need the exact model, and a note on whether they use a thick case. Everything else on this page needs no size at all.

FAQ

Does personalization cost extra?

No. Most NorthCrafts pieces can carry a name, initials, a date or a design at no extra cost. The product page shows what each piece offers.

Can I return a personalized leather gift?

No. A piece with a name on it cannot be resold, so personalized items cannot be returned for a change of mind. If the engraving differs from what you entered, or the item is damaged, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we make it right.

What is the difference between engraved and monogrammed?

A monogram is a design made from initials, often two or three letters in a frame or wreath. Engraving is the method that puts it, or any text, onto the leather. On our pages, a monogram is one of the designs you can choose to engrave.

How long does a personalized gift take?

Orders ship within 3–4 business days, and personalized pieces can take a little longer. Delivery then takes about 7–18 days. For Christmas 2026, order by November 30. Our Christmas 2026 order-by dates lay out the full calendar.

Can you engrave my own logo or a design you do not list?

Many card holders, wallets and business card cases have a logo option. For anything else, ask us through our custom orders page. If the workshop can make it, we tell you the price and timing before you pay.
