I ordered this embosser as a gift for my sister, and it turned out absolutely perfect! I customized it with her name using the dragon design, and she loves it. The engraving quality is beautiful — it creates a clean, crisp emboss directly on the page. The embosser works very well and is easy to use. It fits comfortably in the hand and feels sturdy and well-made. We chose the embosser (not the stamp) because we prefer embossing the paper directly, and it definitely delivers on that. One small thing: I do wish I had also ordered a leather case for storage and protection, as that would’ve been a nice finishing touch for a gift. We didn’t purchase the foil or ink, so I can’t speak to those, but as an embosser alone, this is excellent quality. Highly recommend for gifts or personal use!

Good quality stamp, affordable, and cute. My books are my babies and now I can stamp them with my name- great gift idea for book-lovers

Purchased this as a gift for my daughter. She was very happy! The embossing was clear and sharp. it is well made and expect it to last for a long time. The fact that it was personalized with her name was a super bonus. Great gift

I purchased an embosser for my daughter-in-law who loves to read as a birthday gift, I have one and she loved it. The design I picked for her was not very noticeable on the pages, very light, hard to read and hard to press down on. I purchased this around Christmas time and by the time her birthday came the return window had closed. I reached out to them and they sent a reply right away, they were very helpful and sent me a new one I got to select a new design and no troubles. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone :-) If your a reader and loan your books out what a great way to show where they came from. Great gift idea!

UPDATE I was contacted by the company and replacement was received. It is soooo much better. Centered and clear. I do appreciate the company making this right and delivering a good replacement. Changed my 1 star to 4 (Original review) BAD PRODUCT! 1. design is not centered. 2. design does not leave impression in top/center of design. 3. Weird shape inbetween the first and last name 4. Company requests an email for issues and states most emails are returned in 1 hour. It has been over 24 and no reply for my request for a replacement product. These issue can be seen in the sample placed on the box so obviously they are lacking quality controll.

I bought the "Self-Inking Wood Handle" (with the tree design) to sign a variety of handmade paper art, bookmarks, little books, etc. The tree design is in keeping with my theme of making paper and art utilizing recycle paper, old paper, cardboard (e.g., products that in a former life were trees). I've added a photo of my first attempts at using the stamp. The stamp on the left is on a little coffee filter. That did bleed a bit before drying. I still like it. The upper stamp on the right is pretty good. What I especially like is the delicacy of the stamp print. It suits the kind of art I make at the moment. Quick turnaround by the seller, quick shipping. The price is affordable for me.

Looks just like I expected and gives a nice, clear stamp. Feels solid and should last a long time.

I bought this for my daughter because I knew that she would love it, but I didn't realize how much. It was easy to set up (only have to insert the stamp into the press, and it just clicks into place,) and it comes in a nice pouch for storage. After testing it out on some different thicknesses of scrap paper, I noticed that the two "Os" tend to punch through the paper with full pressure because the text is pretty small around the top edge. Less than full pressure tends to cause the top of the center flower to be less pronounced than the rest of the stamp. (I got the design with the open book with the flowers growing out of it.) I'm being a bit nit-picky here, though. The stamp is easy to use and requires firm pressure to "bottom-out" the grip, but it definitely has a positive stop once full compression is reached. The text is legible (although small) and the overall design is beautiful. The customization was very fast (I think overall, it only took 2-3 days to receive it, including normal shipping.) The customized text font is pretty, although it too, is a bit small for perfect readability. The top and bottom plates align perfectly upon full compression and provide for an even embossing. Overall, if the text (both "standard" and custom) was a bit larger (or maybe more "open") and the top of the flower was a bit more pronounced, I think this would have been a perfect purchase. Please do not let my hyper-critical points deter your purchase of this stamp--it's definitely worth it and if you're thinking about buying one of these, just click "buy now" and you won't regret it.
