Lovely store with a nice variety of items and excellent customer service. My item was ready ahead of schedule. My mom loved her gifts!

To say that this shop is fabulous would be an understatement! Needing award metals created in a hurry for a bocce ball tournament that I was coordinating, I came across Palmgren's through a recommendation from my favorite friend named Google, and am so very thankful that I found them. The ladies that worked there were all so very kind and went above and beyond to ensure that they could get the metals done in time. They were excellent with recommendations and ideas to make sure that the metals produced would be only the BEST in quality. The metals were created in record time and the finish product was beautiful. I look forward to working with them in the future for other products for my business! read more

If you're a "Fluffy Follower", then you'll know that Fluff doesn't like to award 5 stars (although many establishes that service this wild hare seem to meet the standard). After a quick Yelp search, I found Palmgren's for a high-priority, short-notice engraving project (aren't they all?). I needed a brass plaque made for a hare razing event just a few days hence. While yelping, I noted many engravers required several days or even weeks. Yikes! I had no such time. A panicky call to Amy Palmgren assured me they would be able to meet my deadline. So off I hopped to the engraver where they exceeded my expectations. The engraving was perfect and completed hours before promised. As a rabbit living in the Petaluma community (technically under the Petaluma community), I was happy to support this 30-year local business. Thank you, Amy. The Bunny Clan and I will leave some crunchy carrots and wilted lettuce for you after this weekend's garden raid. Hop on! Fluffy Bunny read more

I came here in a panic, needing a plaque made in 26 hours (give or take). Mrs. Palmgreen helped me select and design a plaque, and had it ready for me in under a day. Friendly, helpful service, and a great finished product. I don't know when I'll need another plaque, but it will be made here. 6 star service. read more

I had my name engraved on a hardwood Derby cane here a while back and they did a very good job. I was able to choose a typeface I was familiar with (Copperplate) and the engraving they did was deep and sharp-edged which made for a nice look. Unfortunately the cane was stolen from me and my name engraved on it apparently had no deterrent effect! BTW, I don't know if it's still available or not, but at that time there was honey for sale at the front counter which was excellent. The brand was Pendell's and it was from Northern CA read more

Went in today to find Ruth had exceeded her initial foundry turn around. We purchased a solid bronze memorial for the teak bench we are gifting and extremely happy with the outcome. This is why they merit such high grades. read more

Palmgren's Engravables - Gift Shops Near Me - Petaluma, California

Short and sweet: WOW. Thank you, AMY, for making our experience easy and without worry. You answered ALL of our questions and needs for my first nephew's silver-plated baby cup from Macy's, 1981. The result was a clean finish. Without your suggestions, patience, and skill we would not have this cup engraved before our departure. And for the price of $35?!?! Shout-out to Gold Rush Jeweler's for honest referral. Folks: Ask all the questions as Amy will help you. And the engraving was TINY on a teddy bear holding ballon (monogram) in one hand and ANGLED banner (weight in lbs and oz) in other; wearing ribbon (bday split two ways) around neck. read more

I went there not sure what to get a family member, who has discerning taste :), as a gift. There was a huge assortment to choose from. Fine art to crafts, fine engravable silver items for special gifts to handmade jewelry. The prices ranged from very affordable to higher yet still within reason. There was something for everyone, whether you have a tight budget or the sky's the limit. I found a very nice gift for my family member, a melted wine bottle that has been embossed with a grape vine design and is for displaying your cheeses, and bought a nested stack of hot bowl holders that are designed to cradle your bowl in the microwave so when you reach in the bottom of the hot bowl is covered by the bowl holder. A stack of three ranging from small to large was less that $20.00. It was handmade locally and of very good quality. I love supporting local artists and crafts people!! Pretty much everything on the artists side of the shop is all local artists! It was very cool. I would recommend this engravable/gift shop to any passing through Petaluma, whether you are a tourist or local. After my visit I decided to sell some of my handmade jewelry and embroidery here, I enjoy doing business with her. I read the bad review of the store and honestly it does not represent this shop at all. The owner Mrs. Palmgren is very sweet, and so where the ladies behind the counter. Shop Local :) read more

I wouldn't use them again, which is a shame because the lady I spoke to on the phone initially was great - very friendly and informative, made me feel confident that they would do a good job. But when I turned up at their store service was cool at best. I referred to the phone call I had previously made and the quote I had been given. The price she told me in store was suddenly quite a bit more than what they had told me over the phone. She said the price I had been quoted was impossible. Unfortunately, having driven 40 minutes to get to their store, and having a hungry/tired 1yr old with me, I was in no position to argue further, so I agreed to have my engraving done. I was told it would take AT LEAST a full week to do! Really?? 8 days to engrave a name?? Again, I felt my hands were tied as I needed it done in 10 days so I agreed. I explained what I wanted and in consultation with the lady working there, chose a font. 8 days later I returned to collect my engraved item - the engraving was barely visible!! Given the miscommunication, very high prices, long turn-around time, and poor end result, I can't recommend this place unfortunately. read more

More than pleasant and attentive. Amy was patient and knowledgeable and was helpful with finding the right fit.

The only engraving company who will engrave leather! The quality is great and the turn around time was a week. They could have had it done quicker but I didn't need it. The service was great and I am very satisfied with the product. Will defiantly come back for more engraving! read more

I went in this holiday season to find something special for my sisters. Amy was so very helpful, patient with me. She worked with me to find just the right item that fit my ideas and went out of her way to make it happen. They are so quick and you can't beat the customer service. Love this local shop! read more

I have been using Palmgren's for a couple of years now to do some small jobs for my business. This year I used them to engrave coffee mugs for my employee's Christmas gifts and the experience with Ruth and Amy was nothing short of fabulous. Of course I procrastinated and they worked with me to get them done on short notice and they look GREAT! I highly recommend using them for any job big or small. They have a nice selection of awards, plaques, swag, and gifts too. read more

Great customer service!!! I waited till the last minute to get a trophy for a company event and they got me a trophy and a custom engraving plate on the spot!!! I will defently use them again and refer them to anyone that needs a trophy or an award made. read more

I recently got a nice fountain pen engraved for my nephew's upcoming high school. They were great. Good customer service, good communication, great work on the engraving, and fair price. Would absolutely go back for any future engraving or gift needs. read more

Sadly, we had a very negative customer service experience at Pamlgren's. When we ordered the engraving, we paid in cash and were told when we could expect to pick it up. No order confirmation paper or receipt was given to us. When we picked up the order, we were told that we had to pay again because we supposedly hadn't paid yet. We had no proof of payment, so we had to pay again even after explaining that we'd paid in cash. The idea that "the customer is always right" did not apply here. We returned once again to explain what had happened and give them a chance to rectify the situation before putting up a negative yelp review, but the owner continued to say we were wrong. If you plan on engraving at Palmgren's, please make sure you get proof of order and/or a receipt with an explanation of when payment is due. While we are happy with the engraving, we're NOT happy with paying double or the negative service that put a sad feeling on our holiday season. read more
