Choosing A Zippo Lighter

A personalized zippo lighter can be a nice indulgence or a thoughtful gift for another. Not only can you find a zippo that reflects your personality, hobbies or interests, but you can also make it yours with an engraving or send a special message to another. A zippo may also be the perfect executive or corporate gift when you need to create and keep connections with others. Who can forget a gift as thoughtful and classy as a zippo lighter? Something so functional and fun can be a perfect way to be remembered.

Whether choosing a lighter for yourself or as a gift for another, it is important to consider the purpose in buying your lighter. Do you want it primarily as a showpiece or do you want to give it to someone who will actually use it? For instance, you may not want to give an executive a lighter displaying a skull and crossbones design. A “bling” lighter may be a cute idea but just may convey the wrong idea if you are giving the lighter as a gift.

Instead, you should to get a personalized zippo lighter that is both classy and tasteful. Sometimes a simple chrome, silver, gold, black, pink or other finish with engraving can be just the right style. You can have a last name or a company slogan or logo engraved on the front. You can also go with other designs such as aces, four leaf clovers or other designs that send a definite positive message. Other designs such as dragons, intricate engraving, animals, professional sports teams and even the American flag are available, so you can find something that speaks directly to the recipient.

There are also many options when it comes to selecting a personal engraving for your lighter as well. Sometimes a name will suffice; for example, you may want to congratulate a new police officer with a name over a police badge or just use initials to convey distinction for an executive. You may use a zippo as a wedding gift with a name and date to commemorate the special occasion. However, you should keep in mind that zippo lighters can be good gifts for both men and women.


A personalized zippo lighter can also go great with other gifts such as flasks, pocket watches or other items you want to give off some traditional charm. No matter its purpose, it is important that you find a zippo lighter that makes you happy because these lighters last a long time and can become highly sought after collectible items. Your zippo lighter can leave a lasting impression whether it is yours or you give it to someone else as a gift.
