Each box shows its character limit as you type, and a tag above the boxes shows your exact words before you add the gift to your basket. 2. **A UK maker personalises it** to order, printing or engraving exactly what you typed. Please check spelling, capitals and dates: we print the words as they are. 3. **It's sent by tracked delivery**, to you or straight to them. We can't print accents, emoji or most symbols, so the boxes accept letters, numbers and simple punctuation. If a personalised gift arrives damaged, faulty or not as you typed it, we remake it or refund it in full ([returns](/returns)). ## How does delivery work? Every gift travels by tracked UK delivery, to your door or straight to theirs. Personalised gifts are made to order and travel as their own parcel, for £3.19, and delivery is free over £40. Each product page shows how long its gift takes to make and when to expect it, before you pay. See [delivery](/delivery) for the details. ## Ready to choose? Personalised pen and box sets, notebooks and calendars make thoughtful gifts for graduates, colleagues, teachers and retiring friends, each with a name or message added. Pick your favourite above, type their name or your message, and we'll make it and send it straight to them, with a free e-card if you like.
