I’ve always felt words hold a kind of magic. There's something about a quote, a song lyric, or even a single line that hits home - that gives you the feeling of “wow, they get it.” You feel seen, understood, loved.

You've Got The Love was built around that exact idea—that words carry power.

In the busyness of life, if you’re like me, you might just need that little reminder to slow down and come back to what’s most important. Whether it’s engraved on a keychain, button, or bracelet, it’s that pause—a second to reframe your mind and refocus on what truly matters.

I hope this note sparks a little inspiration when choosing the right words for yourself or someone special.

Here are some helpful tips to help you figure out the right engraving!

Think about who will wear this—whether it’s someone special or yourself. Reflect on their (or your own) personality, style, and life journey. What words resonate with unique experiences and reflect who they are—or who you are?

What Message Do You Want To Share?

Consider the purpose behind your words. Are they meant to uplift, inspire, remind, or encourage? Think about the feeling you want the wearer to experience each time they see it—whether it's someone you love or your own daily source of strength.

Reflect on Shared Memories or Inside Jokes

If this piece is for someone else, think of a small phrase, nickname, or inside joke that represents a special bond. If it’s for you, consider words that capture a personal memory or meaningful milestone. The right words can turn a piece into a powerful reminder of what matters most.

Think About The Journey

Whether the wearer is celebrating an achievement, navigating a challenge, or starting a new chapter, choose words that acknowledge the current journey. For yourself, think of what you need to hear most right now—or what you’d like to carry with you in the future.

Choose Words That Stand the Test of Time

Select words or phrases that will have lasting meaning. Think of sentiments that will be relevant and encouraging not just today, but for years to come. This will ensure that the gift remains a cherished keepsake.

Consider Simplicity

A single word or short phrase can often carry more impact than something complex. Simplicity can make the message more powerful and easier for the recipient to carry with them in their daily life.

In my experience, there are a few types of customizations that tend to hit home the most:
