At first I was nervous about messing up the tumbler I wanted to give my friend. I practiced her initials on a spare piece first and kept the final design small. It came out neat, and she was touched that I had done it myself.

Gift it, or make gifts with it?
Both, and that is why it works so well at Christmas. As a gift, it is something they will actually use: open the box, print a name, and the first project is done the same evening. As a tool, it turns your Christmas list into one cozy weekend at the kitchen table. Names on ornaments, a date on a cutting board, initials on a tumbler for a teacher, Grandma’s handwriting on a recipe board. Every piece looks made for that person, because it was. The Complete Set adds 21 stencils, including Christmas motifs, and four practice boards, so the first try happens on a board instead of the real gift.
Will it actually hold up, or quit after two projects?
That fear sits behind every mixed review in this category, and it is why Scrivora is built the way it is. The body is an aluminum tube, not a plastic shell, and the tip holds any standard 2.35 mm (3/32 in) bit dead center. Inside sits a 3-speed motor from 6,000 to 20,000 rpm and a 350 mAh lithium cell that charges over Type-C. The screen shows the charge as a percentage and the speed as a number, so you know where you stand before you start. If anything is not right, you have 30 days to send it back for a full refund.
What would they even engrave with it?
Start with what is already in the house. The stainless tumbler on the counter, the wine glasses, the cutting board, the kids’ water bottles, the ornaments in the box in the garage. Then the things that walk off: sockets, pliers, a pocket knife, the dog’s tag. A name, a date, initials, a short line. The first project usually happens the evening the box arrives, and the second is whatever someone asks for once they have seen the first. Metal, glass, wood, stone, leather and plastic all take the diamond bits, so nothing on the list is off limits.
I can’t draw. Will my first name still look good?
You never draw freehand. Print the name in any font you like, tape it to the surface, and trace the letters with the pen at the low speed step. The bit follows the printed line, so the letters come out the way they look on paper. The pen weighs less than a golf ball and holds like a pencil, which keeps your hand steady across a whole word. Practice on a jar or a scrap of wood first with one of the 30 bits, then do the real piece. Most people get a clean, readable name on their first evening.
Why get the Partner Set?
Because there are usually two people on the list who would love this, and one of them is you. The Partner Set is two full Complete Sets for $129.99, which works out to $65.00 a set and saves $30 against buying two separately. Each set has its own pen, 30 diamond bits, Type-C cable, 4 practice boards and all 21 stencils, so nobody waits for a turn and nobody gets the leftovers. Keep one, gift one, or make gifts side by side. Both sets ship together in one tracked shipment, and each carries the same 30-day money-back guarantee.
THE PROBLEM
Personalized Gifts Get Kept. Generic Ones Don't.
A tumbler with her name on it gets used every single day. The same tumbler without one ends up at the back of a cabinet by February.
Having a shop do it costs ten to twenty dollars an item, takes a week, and only works on the things they happen to sell.
Scrivora puts the name on it tonight, at your own kitchen table, in one sitting.
Names on tumblers, glasses, boards, ornaments, tools
No shop fee and no week of waiting
Trace a printed name, no drawing needed

Made at Home, on the First Try
Tumblers, glasses, boards, rocks, tags and tools, engraved at kitchen tables by people who had never held an engraving pen before.

THE MECHANISM
What Keeps the Line Steady
A clean name comes down to three things. A bit that spins true, a speed you can actually see, and a pen light enough to hold like a pencil.
1. TrueAxis Micro-Drive
The bit locks dead center in the tip, so it spins true instead of wandering. The line goes exactly where your hand goes, letter after letter.
2. Three Speeds, Shown On Screen
Low for plastic and leather, middle for glass and wood, high for steel and stone. The number on the screen tells you which step you are on.
3. A Battery Percentage, Not a Guess
The screen shows the exact charge before you start, so a name never stops halfway through. It charges from the same cable as your phone, in any room.
The result: letters that read like a jeweler cut them, made at your own kitchen table.

THE PROOF
A Readable Name on the First Tumbler
In our first-evening trial, a first-time user taped a printed name to a stainless tumbler and traced it in one pass.
No shop fee. No freehand. No guessing the battery.
*Results from our in-house first-use trial on a printed, taped name. Finish varies with surface, bit and pressure. Practice on a jar first.
Surfaces tested: stainless steel, glass, oak, river stone
Bits in the box: 30 diamond-coated, in a case
Charge readout: exact percentage on the pen's screen
BUILT TO LAST
Built to Outlast the Bargain Pens
Bargain engraving pens are a plastic shell, a small motor and a battery you cannot see. They spin for a project or two, then stop taking a charge, and their odd-size bits fit nothing else you can buy.
Scrivora is a solid aluminum body with a real charge readout and standard bits you can buy anywhere.
Aluminum tube, not a plastic shell
Charge shown as a number, not a blink
Standard-size bits, refills anywhere
FOR EVERYONE ON THE LIST
One Pen for Everyone on Your Christmas List
Whoever is on your Christmas list, the first project is already sitting in their house, and the second one is whatever a friend asks for after seeing the first.
For the Kitchen: Tumblers, wine glasses, cutting boards and pantry jars, each with a name or a date that survives the dishwasher for years.
For the Garage: Sockets, pliers, drill batteries and a pocket knife, marked with initials so they stop walking off the job.
For the Kids: Water bottles, phone cases, ornaments and the rocks they bring home from the yard, each one with their name on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Scrivora Engraving Pen Kit.
Is it safe for a teenager to use?
Yes, with the same care you would give any small rotary tool. Wear safety glasses, keep hair and sleeves back, and work on a mat. The pen is light, the bit is small and the speed steps start low, so a teen can learn on a jar or a scrap of wood before touching anything that matters. An adult nearby for the first evening is a good idea.
What exactly comes in the box?
The Scrivora Engraving Pen, 30 diamond-coated bits in their own case, a Type-C charging cable and a quick-start guide. That is everything you need for the first project the evening it arrives. The Complete Set adds 21 stencils (16 lettering, border and botanical stencils plus 5 free bonus stencils) and four practice boards in aluminum, leather, bamboo and acrylic. The Partner Set is two full Complete Sets. With the Starter Kit alone, the quick-start guide shows you how to print any name in any font, tape it on and trace it.
Do the bits fit other brands, and where do I get more?
The pen takes standard 2.35 mm (3/32 in) engraving bits, the size sold everywhere, so you are never locked into one brand. The 30 diamond bits in the box cover metal, glass, wood, stone, leather and plastic and last through a long list of gifts. When you do want a fresh set, the Scrivora 30-bit refill is $19.99 and swaps in the same way.
Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
Yes, if you order by Dec 10. Every order is packed and ships within 48 hours with free tracked US shipping, and delivery takes 6 to 10 days on average. You get the tracking number by email as soon as it leaves. The Partner Set ships together in one shipment, so both sets arrive at the same time. Holiday stock is limited, so order early instead of cutting it close.
What if they open it and don't love it?
Then send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund, no arguing. Most people never get that far, because the first project happens the evening the box is opened and the second is requested by whoever saw it. But the guarantee is there so you can buy for someone else without guessing. The bundles carry the same 30-day money-back guarantee on every kit.
Can I engrave a signature or someone's handwriting?
Yes, and it is one of the most loved things people make with it. Photocopy or print the handwriting at the size you want, tape it to the surface, and trace the lines at the low speed step. A recipe in Grandma's hand on a cutting board, a child's signature on a keychain, a note on the back of a watch. The pen follows the line, so the handwriting stays theirs.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 89 reviews.
We have way too many stainless water bottles that look alike. A small name near the bottom solved that problem at home.
Purchased mainly to mark a few tools, but I have used it on some wooden pieces too. Handy to have around.
Putting a name on something plain makes it feel a lot more personal. I did a simple wooden ornament for my new niece.
A friend mentioned putting names on glass jars, so I gave it a try with one I was not attached to. The first few lines were uneven while I got used to it. By the end, I had a simple flower I was happy with.
This was my first time using an engraving pen, so I had no idea how much practice I would need. I started with a spare wooden tag instead of the gift I wanted to make. That was a good decision because my first letters were too close together. After a few tries, I had a better feel for the movement and could keep the spacing more even. The pen is light enough that holding it feels natural, and I appreciate seeing how much charge is left. I eventually added a short name to a wooden box for my aunt. It looks handmade, which is what I wanted, and she was really happy with it. I would have liked more examples in the guide, especially for choosing a bit. Overall, a useful little kit if you are willing to spend some time learning.
My first keychain turned out cute. Ready to make another.
Honestly, I bought this because I was tired of putting off the little projects I kept saving ideas for. My first attempt was just my initials on a spare wooden tag. Then I tried a simple outline on a coaster. I am still learning what different bits do, but the kit gave me plenty to experiment with. It is nice to sit down and work on something with my hands for a while. I do not need every project to look perfect to enjoy making it.
Part of the appeal for me was being able to pick it up for a small project without dragging out a bunch of equipment. I added a date to a wooden keepsake box and put everything away afterward. It was a relaxing way to spend an evening.
Exactly what I wanted.
For someone who usually sticks to paper crafts, this felt pretty approachable. I started with a tiny heart on a wooden tag.
There were three plain tumblers sitting in the cabinet, so those became my practice projects. Each one looks a little better than the last.
Curved glasses took me a little longer to get used to.
Takes some practice.
Fun rainy day project.
Rain canceled our weekend plans, so I finally opened this kit. A couple of plain coasters later, I had found something fun to do.
Good for small projects. I would practice before doing a gift.
A plain photo frame now has our anniversary date on the back. It is a little detail only we know is there.
Being able to see the battery level is really helpful.
Glad I tried it.
Useful little tool once you get a feel for the pressure.
Put my initials on a few tools. Worked just fine.
The bits have their own case, which keeps my desk less cluttered.
The little case for the bits is useful. I can put everything away without having tiny pieces rolling around my craft drawer.
Making things together is how my sister and I usually spend a visit. We each got a kit and tried simple designs on coasters. Hers came out better than mine, of course, but we had a good afternoon and something to show for it.
Wish it came with stencils, but the pen itself is good.
The quick guide is brief. Some more examples would be nice.
Rounded surfaces are still tricky for me to hold steady. Flat wooden tags have been easier, and the results on those look good.
Neat pen, but I had to slow down more than I expected on glass. The second jar came out much cleaner.
Good overall. I would prefer a longer charging cable for where my outlet is, but that is a small thing.
Both kids picked the same color water bottle, which was getting confusing every morning. I added their names near the bottom and let them choose a little symbol for each one. They were more excited about that than I expected.
The pen works well for what I need. An illustrated chart showing what each tip does would make the kit easier to learn.
Usually I buy craft supplies and leave them in a drawer. This one actually got used the day I opened it. I made a simple design on a wooden coaster, then went looking for something else to try. Nothing fancy, but very satisfying.
Surprised by how light it feels. I was expecting something bulkier, and this is easy for me to guide around a small design.
One evening I made matching keychains for two friends. Kept the design really simple, and they were happy with them.
Tried it on an old jar first. That helped a lot.
Kept one kit for myself and gave the other to Mom.
The first thing I made was a keychain for my husband with a little inside joke on it. My letters are not perfectly even, but that is part of why he liked it. Nice to give something with a personal touch.
Holding this feels pretty natural, which was my main concern.
Got the two kits so my sister and I could each have one.
