I regularly explore for original or extraordinary presents for Christmas. However, if anyone out there believes that shopping for personalized gifts is like buying ordinary gifts, I beg you to think again. Think hard and think long. I recently purchased one of these, I won’t mention the site because I’m an embroidery digitizer.

I make products that the personalized gift vendors sell and incredibly, those guys could be one of my customers! However, this website, that I found somehow, were quick to take my money , but customer satisfaction was not their strong point. It turned out that many people were complaining about this store, but since I did not look at the online reputation of the store, I didn’t find out until it was too late. This was a lesson in how not to do things…my advice is to take advice on whom to do business from your friends. It’s only your friends who have no vested interest in the decisions you make. Anyways, I digress… The gift I purchased was personalized just for me and not only do you need to purchase this stuff wayyy in advance, some of these people (and I use that temr loosely) they really dig up a lot of rules for you to follow when there’s a flaw.

So, be very cautious about…
1. Give out the exact spelling right from the start and
2. Order far in advance so that a mistake can be fixed.

Oh!..one more..

3. Determine how nice their customer service is BEFORE you order. Good luck!
