Getting the Timing Right
- Check the delivery date for the recipient’s address at checkout, not just the “fast shipping” label.
- Plan around their departure date. A travel gift that arrives after they leave won’t help on this trip, so leave a few days’ margin.
- Personalized items take longer. Engraved tags, passport covers and prints add production time.
- Out of time? A digital gift card or an e-book can be delivered by email before they fly.
Before You Buy
- Ask what they struggle to keep organized.
- Check sizes against their bags.
- Bundle a few small gifts together.
- Check the current price and the delivery date at checkout.
