How to give it
Personalized gifts need lead time and careful spelling. Order early, check the proof, and keep a gift receipt in case the size or color is not right.
Not sure it's the one? Ask yourself three questions: will she use it at least once a week, does it fit her taste rather than yours, and could she return or exchange it easily? Two yeses is usually a good sign.
