Personalise it!

There’s a landmark birthday approaching and we’re looking into ordering a vase. Getting a gift personalised from the internet can be difficult at times as what you see on the screen may not necessarily be what you receive. At the time, we’d narrowed it to two suppliers. One was quite cheap, but the design was limited and the engraving really looked like it should be on a beer glass rather than a vase. The other was much more expensive, but the coloured design stood out and you could personalise your message. We had plenty of characters to choose from, and the only negative reviews seemed to be the box it came in. We weren’t too bothered as we were pretty sure that our recipient would use it rather than store it so we gave it a shot. When it arrived, the glass looked good, but the inscription looked faded and watery as if it would rub off. We really should have popped into our local shop and I regret our choice. I just hope our recipient likes it.
