Personalised gifts: a name, a favourite design or your own choice

You know the child is currently obsessed with diggers. Finding out the right bedding size is trickier. And as for whether the personalised cushion should say ‘Leni’ or ‘Helene’, you’d rather not have to guess.

A personalised gift often starts with a discreet enquiry. Which design is their current favourite? What are the dimensions of the duvet and pillows? What name does the child use themselves? With these three answers, choosing becomes much easier.

Check the name

Please provide the desired spelling in writing, including umlauts, accents or hyphens. Read it through carefully once more before placing your order. A pet name can be lovely, but it should be something the family has chosen. If there are several children, a quick note will help to clarify which design goes with which name.

With bed linen, it’s the dimensions of the filling that matter. The size of the bed alone doesn’t necessarily tell you which duvet cover will fit. If you ask, you don’t have to give the surprise away completely.

A card can carry the message

The personal touch doesn’t have to be on the fabric itself. Perhaps you could write on a card: ‘For the stories we’ll read together on our next visit.’ Or: ‘Choose the animal that’ll accompany you on your next dream journeys.’ Phrases like these link the gift to something you share.

If you’d like the family to choose for themselves

A Leslis gift voucher lets them choose for themselves. If favourite colours change quickly or you’re unsure of the right size, this can be a stress-free solution. You set the value; the family chooses their favourite item later.

The gift voucher is digital. On the product page, you can choose to have it sent directly to the recipient and add a personal message. If you’re setting a specific delivery date, make sure the email address is correct. You don’t need a printer to hand it over – you can share the moment of opening it together on screen.

If you’d still like to hand over something in person, you can write your own message on a small card. The gift voucher itself remains digital.
