Anywhere do a 1 day turn around on engraved Zippos?

I need to get hold of a zippo with a custom message engraved by tomorrow, I'm looking on-line, but not found anywhere that will dispatch today for a Saturday delivery. If you happen to know of a place that can do it, please post a link.

Can't you pop to a Timpsons?

Thats the backup plan, but they have a limited selection. The wife is buying it as a gift for someone, but didn't like any of the ones they had, you know how it goes

Can you tell us why?

e: oh.

Linkex · 6 Sep 2013 at 10:24

Wifes dads friends wifes birthday tomorrow, she forgot about the present until today, so that of course makes it my problem to solve...

Order the zippo you want online with next day delivery then get it engraved on the high street?

Please engrave it with 'To the best Wife's Dad's friend's Wife ever.'

Don't be so stupid.

Its being given by my wife, not me. It will read 'To the best Dad's friend's Wife ever.'. Duh!

It happens!

No worries

I feel a depiction of the family trees are in order because this sounds like the OP's wife is giving this 'gift' to the best Wife's Dad's friend's Wife ever ... which is THE OP!

Apologies for the confusion. This MS paint diagram should clear it up:

MisChief · 6 Sep 2013 at 11:21

So couldn't you just call her.... the wife's friend?

lol that is brilliant.

i would do the high street route. Go early!

DJMK4 · 6 Sep 2013 at 12:15

I would go to a highstreet for this, asap

If not, try and find someone online, ask for it to be done today, and shipped today, via first class special Saturday, it will cost you though!

This, as you are being left to find it

Gifting lighters is tacky "Here, have something to light your cancer sticks with, so you can think of your husbands, mates, daughter when having a smoke". I say that as an ex smoker who really misses smoking and has no actual problem with people smoking.

Get her something, you know, not tacky. Flowers, chocolates, a rubber penis and 50 shades trilogy.

Some people just like collecting them, without using them for smoking

They could be used to light candles? or just as a collectable item
