Tips for Choosing and Personalizing
A custom gift like this takes a little thought to get just right. Keep the following tips in mind as you shop:
- Consider the age of the recipient. If you're buying for an older child, you might want to choose a simple design that will take her into the teen years or even into adulthood.
- Think about the future with your personalization too. If you're buying for a teen or young women, know that her monogram may change if she gets married and changes her name. Personalize with just her first name instead for a gift that will be appropriate for years to come.
- If you're on a budget, choose a shorter monogram or even a single initial to personalize the box. A lot of stores charge more for longer inscriptions, but you can keep costs down by keeping it concise.
- Double check your order before you place it. It's very rare for stores to accept returns for personalized boxes. Make sure it's correct before you buy.
A Gift That Shows You Care
Whether you're shopping for a birthday gift, a holiday present, a thank-you token for participating in a wedding, or any other occasion, you'll find that a personalized jewelry storage box is a gift that anyone will appreciate. It serves to protect treasures while also offering a reminder of how much you care.
