Marjori is one of the best, unfortunately she's getting older like the rest of us. It's a lost art. Pray she lives another 100 years ?? thanks for all your hard work.

Recently had some pieces engraved with our company logo. Wow! They are such a big hit with our clients. Despite unforeseen power outages and a leaky roof, Marjorie pulled through and completed our items on time. Thank you. We'll definitely be back.

I had an amazing experience with Marjorie. She is detail oriented and did 2 amazing jobs for me. If you are looking into any custom engaging work in the Bay Area, she is definitely the one to go to!

I don't know what the problem is. The owner, Marjorie, who is lovely and a very good engraver, has been closed for a month or more. First there was a note at the doorway to the complex that she was closed due to an illness. Now that sign is gone but the hours are listed as 12-2pm and 3-5pm instead of her listing and voicemail saying it is 11:30-4:30pm. Left three messages and no response. While I wish her well this is not a good way to run a business. Hopefully her health is well and there is a problem big enough to justify this and hopefully something that will be resolved in a good way. This is just a heads up and not a statement about the owner or their quality of work.

Hi Everyone - I am not a usual reviewer on Yelp, however this is my absolute pleasure to write a glowing review for Marjorie and Think Personal ! The name says it all. When you need a special gift with a personal message, Marjorie will help create just the right thing. Bring your special projects to her shop in Sausalito - allow yourself extra time to get to know Marjorie. Her stories are uplifting and her humor will add a special touch to the gifts that you give. I left her shop with a beautiful heirloom for the family as well as a new friend in Marjorie. There is a saying that I like... people do business with people they like. Thank you Marjorie! Dan

This service is a real find since now you'd usually only find this service online. It's helpful to meet in person and review the work. Marjorie, the owner, handles each piece and all of the hundreds of samples are in her shop. I brought in my own item for engraving. And, her "assistant" Piper (dog) is super sweet. I had a good experience.

She's great. Give her a break, she has been doing this for 25 years without any help. You would have odd hours if you had a life outside of your engraving business, too.

I went to Think Personal after it moved to Sausalito, after numerous purchases from the previous location in Strawberry Village. What an unfortunate difference! Much of the current inventory on the shelves is old, dirty and in the case of the wedding cake/server set I was interested in (but passed on after closer inspection) corroded. I did order a pair of champagne flutes to be engraved for my friends wedding. But I had difficulty getting them in a timely manner because the proprietor, Marjorie, has such erratic hours. After a number of unanswered calls, I finally reached her and was told "Come right now, because I have to leave." I rushed to the shop and examined the glasses when I picked them up, but they were still dirty (!) so the poor quality engraving on one glass was not immediately evident (see photo). But after washing them I could see the letters were muddy and running into each other (look at the word "May,") and the dot on the "i" in "Bonnie" was non-existent. I managed to return to the shop, in terrible Friday rush hour traffic, with the wedding just 24 hours away. Marjorie was argumentative and annoyed, she never apologized for either the poor work or the inconvenience, but finally agreed to redo the bad work. I then had to return later, in more awful traffic, to pick up the redone work. I spent hours dealing with this, instead of preparing for my friends wedding. A really bad experience all the way around.

I found Marjorie last year when I needed a bunch of frames engraved ...one 70th birthday, one 40th and a wedding frame. They all turned out perfectly! I called Marjorie yesterday to see if she could help me pick a frame and engrave it that day, without me coming in. She emailed me a few to choose from and she had it ready in a couple hours. I will be showing up tonight with a gorgeous engraved frame to my friends 40th thanks to Marjorie. Oh and she did this all while she was sick - her customers come first. Wow!! Great spot. Great prices. Great customer service!

We are very lucky to have this resource in Southern Marin, I needed a gift for my dad 90years old still duck hunts! I thought maybe a trophy or nice gift, Marjorie has both When I entered the store I knew I hit pay dirt, She had a fine English Pewter flask with An etched flying duck, I'm an antique dealer it is finely done. Plus I could not believe she could do an engraving for me the same day, when she showed it to me I did not see the box And noticed the opening was small and would need a funnel, she opened the box to show Me the ingraveing and it included a shinny pewter funnel. Really fantastic all for under one hundred bucks, she help me pick the perfect font. Can't wait till I need her again.

Marjory is very nice. Her shop is small and she has a lot of different trinkets. I called around to a bunch of different places in Marin to get a name tag made. Staples and office depot have over a week turnaround because it is not done in house. Marjory does it in house! I'm glad I was able to support a local business and that she could make my name badge on metal for $20 with same day turn around vs a plastic nametag for $11 from staples/Office Depot and waiting over a week. Thanks Marjory for your great work!

Marjorie is sublime. You have to go to her she will help you pick out a terrific gift and personalize it. Plus she's funny as hell.

I had a very unusual engraving project to accomplish. I called several places and didn't really know where to go. I got referred to Think Personal. Right off the bat Marjorie was ready for this job. She was positive and helpful from beginning to end. When we ran into issues with design or material, she was ready to go and not negative at all. I will definitely use think personal for every engraving project I ever have from this day forward. Rarely do you go into a business and bring them something unusual and have them so positive and ready to go. Marjorie seemed excited about my job and that was really great. Such a good experience I cant wait to go back.

What a lovely woman- and what neat stuff in her shop. Gifts can be tough sometimes and she has so many things than can be personalized.
