I sent my daughter off to college and after her first semester she found that some of her electronics and containers had vanished during the confusion of moving day.  We bought a Dremel engraver and wrote her name on the back of her items but that didn't stop anybody from helping themselves to her stuff.

So I bought her a new DVD player last year and this set of markers and told her to decorate them up and personalize it on the front as well as engraving her name on the back.  So she took some vinyl stickers and made little templates of the butterflies that matched her bedding.  Then she colored them in and doodled her creation up with the silver marker.  It looks perfect, matches her decor and everyone knows it is hers.  She has done this to several other things since then... Plastic bins and dark colored kitchen tools.  I think if any of her decorated items showed up in anyone else's room somebody would notice.

Both these colors show up well on black, grey, dark red and deep purple items and have not worn off at all. She has used both of them quite a bit and they have not needed replaced yet.  I am very pleased.
