1.0 The Power of Personalization

Imagine you are at a big party in Dubai. Your boss calls you to the stage. They hand you a trophy. You look at it, but it just says “Employee of the Year.” It does not have your name. It does not say what you did. How do you feel? You might feel a little bit sad. It feels like the boss just bought it from a store at the last minute.

Now, imagine the trophy has your full name in bright, clear letters. It has a 3D picture of the big project you finished. It has a sweet note from your team. Now, that is a real award!

This is what we call personalization. It means making an award just for one person. At TheAwardsDXB, we know that personalization is the secret to a great gift. This guide will show you how to do it the right way.

2.0 Go Beyond Just a Name

Most people think personalization is just writing a name. That is a good start, but you can do more!

In 2026, we have very fast lasers. We can write many things on a crystal award.

• Use Nicknames: If everyone in the office calls someone “The Tech Wizard,” why not put that on the trophy? It shows you know them well.
• Add Dates: Put the exact day they joined the company or the day they won. It makes the award feel like a piece of history.
• List the Big Win: Instead of just “Great Job,” write “For Selling 1,000 Houses in Dubai.” It reminds them exactly why they are a star.

When you add these details, the award becomes a story. It is not just glass anymore. It is a memory.

3.0 Use 3D Magic for Your Logo

Did you know we can put things inside the glass? This is called 3D laser engraving. It is one of the best ways to personalize an award.

At our shop in the UAE, we can take your company logo and turn it into a 3D shape. It will look like it is floating in the middle of the crystal. This makes the award feel very “bespoke” or custom-made.

You can even put a 3D model of a building or a product inside. If your worker is an architect, you can put a 3D model of the house they designed. This is the ultimate way to show you care. Nobody else in the world will have the same award. It is 100% unique.

4.0 Pick a Shape That Matches the Job

The shape of the award is also a way to personalize it. You do not have to pick a square every time.

Think about what the person does for work:

• For a Driver: Pick an award shaped like a wheel or a fast car.
• For a Teacher: Pick a trophy shaped like a book or an apple.
• For a Star Employee: Pick a star shape or a tall tower.

When the shape matches the job, it shows you put thought into the design. It makes the person feel like you really understand what they do every day. A custom shape is a great way to stand out from other companies.

5.0 Adding a Special Message

The back or the base of the award is a great place for a secret message. You can write a short note from the whole team.

• “We couldn’t do it without you!”
• “Thanks for always making us laugh.”
• “To our favorite leader.”

These small words mean a lot. Sometimes, the winner will read these words when they are having a hard day. It will give them a boost of energy. It reminds them that they have friends at work who love them. Use a simple and clear font so it is easy to read.

6.0 The Local Advantage in Dubai

Personalizing awards can be hard if you order from a different country. If there is a typo in the name, it takes weeks to fix. But when you work with TheAwardsDXB, we are right here in Dubai.

Because we are local, you can:

• See the Proof: We can show you exactly how the name will look before we start.
• Make Quick Changes: If you find a mistake, we can fix it in one day.
• Pick Materials: You can come to our shop and touch the crystal or wood yourself.

Being local makes personalization stress-free. You can be sure that every name is spelled right and every logo is perfect.
