text: help! i was thinking of giving my boyfriend a custom dogtag necklace, how do i get it???where??? everyone knows what im taking about, right the dog tag necklaces? i saw one on this guy, he had the name of his girlfriend with a picture engraved on it, its cute, right? i want to do the same. you can try a mall, or - better yet - a department store. every single wal-mart in my area has, just inside the entry doors, several arcade-like machines that sell and engrave dog tags, pins, and other such things.  i would definitely recommend that you look there.  by the way, that is a great idea for a gift. i am sure that he will really enjoy it.
