I often look for clever or unique presents for Christmas. However, if anybody out there concludes that buying personalized presents is like buying common presents, please 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, that company might be one of my company’s customers! But these guys, well…, were quick to take my money , but customer satisfaction was not their strong point. Only later did I discover that many people complained, but since I did not check the reputation of the company, I didn’t find out until it was too late. I learned a tough lesson…my advice is take a little time to Google the company and ask 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 fault.

So, be very careful about… 1. Give them exact spelling right from the start and 2. So that a mistate can be fixed. And Oh!..one more.. 3. Learn about the customer service staff response BEFORE you order.

Good luck!
