Locally Owned and Operated

Gilson’s Executive Awards was founded by Tony Gilson in 1974 in downtown Cincinnati. That means we have almost 50 years of experience in creating unique corporate gifts and awards for the people and businesses of Ohio and beyond. We may have grown – we ship trophies and plaques all across the country now – but we haven’t forgotten our roots. When you buy from Gilson’s, you’re supporting real people on a local level, and we always make sure you’re treated like an important individual as well.

Quick Turnaround, Quality Products

At Executive Awards, our rapid turnaround policy ensures your custom engraving needs are met swiftly and efficiently. Simple engraving jobs can be completed and shipped within just one day, thanks to our in-house engraving process. Most products go through at least one stage of proofing to guarantee precision and satisfaction. However, if you’re in a hurry, we’re prepared to expedite your order to meet your urgent needs.

We recognize that personalized gifts and recognition items need detailed customization. That’s why we offer a variety of options to ensure you get the perfect piece.
