Engraved wooden medals: a warmer award for races and year-end celebrations

The last months of the year are always busy: fun runs, sports tournaments, company sports days, school ceremonies and year-end parties honoring the team. When it’s time to hand out awards, most organizers reach for the familiar metal medal. If you want something a little different, a little warmer and more likely to be kept, a wooden medal is worth a look.

Why wooden medals?

• Natural and warm: wood feels very different from metal in the hand, and every piece has its own grain, so no two medals are exactly alike.
• Engraved and personal: the event name, the winner’s name or the date is engraved directly into the wood, so the medal truly belongs to them.
• Different and memorable: among a shelf of metal medals, a wooden one always stands out and gets people asking where it came from.
• Made by the same hands as our music boxes: Linh Lang crafts medals from the same wood, with the same care, as our music boxes.

The desktop medal peak

Alongside medals to wear, Linh Lang also makes a desktop medal peak: a version made to sit on a desk or a display shelf. The achievement stays in sight instead of in a drawer, reminding the recipient of the moment they worked so hard for.

It suits awards meant to be displayed for a long time: employee of the year, the champion of a season, or a milestone the whole team will remember.

Great for

• Fun runs, cycling events and sports tournaments run by clubs and communities.
• Company sports days and team building.
• School ceremonies and award days, including after-school classes.
• Year-end parties and recognition nights.
• Small family or friend events: a Tết chess tournament, a cooking contest, a year of hitting ten thousand steps a day.

Order early for event season

Custom medals need time to agree on the engraving, finalize the design and finish production, especially in larger quantities. Year-end is also peak event season, so message Linh Lang early: tell us about your event, the quantity, what you’d like engraved and when you need them, and we’ll come back with a quote and a timeline.

And if you’re looking for a gift for the winner, an engraved music box is a prize everyone loves.
