A thoughtful gift: a name, a favourite design or the freedom to choose

You know the child loves diggers at the moment. The duvet size is more of a mystery. And whether their personalised cushion should say “Leni” or “Helene” is something you would rather not guess.

A thoughtful gift often begins with a quiet question. Which design is the favourite just now? What size are the duvet and pillow? Which name does the child use? Those three answers make choosing much easier.

Take a moment over the name

Ask for the preferred spelling in writing, including any accents, umlauts or hyphens. Read it through once more before ordering. A nickname can be lovely when it is one the family wants to use. If you are buying for several children, make a note of which name belongs with each design.

For bed linen, measure the duvet and pillow themselves. The size of the bed alone does not tell you which covers will fit. You can ask without giving away the entire surprise.

Your words can make the gift personal

The personal part need not be printed on the fabric. You might write: “For the stories we will read together when I next visit.” Or: “Choose the animal you would like to take on your next dream adventure.” A sentence like that connects the gift to something you share.

When the family would like to choose

A Leslis gift card leaves room for their own decision. If favourite colours change quickly, or you do not know the right size, it can be an easy way to give something they will enjoy. You choose the amount; the family chooses their favourite piece later.

The gift card is digital. On the product page, you can choose direct delivery to the recipient and add a message. If you schedule a delivery date, take a moment to check the email address. You do not need a printer to give it: opening it together on a screen can be a little occasion too.

If you would like to hand over something in person, write your message in a small card. The gift card itself stays digital.
