Gift Message Personalization Tips for Online Orders

Quick answer

A short, heartfelt note (2-3 sentences) works best for most occasions. Choose a tone that matches your relationship and the event, and always proofread before checkout.

Frequently asked questions about gift messages

What should I write in a gift message for dinnerware?

Keep it short and specific. For example: 'Hope these plates make your holiday dinners even more special. Thinking of you!' Mention the occasion and how the item fits the recipient's life. Personalize with a specific memory or hope for how they'll use the item.

How long should my gift note be?

Aim for 2-3 sentences. Too long can feel impersonal, too short may seem rushed. Focus on one sincere thought—congratulations, thanks, or best wishes. Brevity shows you've chosen your words carefully.

When should I add a gift message?

Select the Gift Message option at checkout before you pay. You can type your note directly. If you're ordering multiple gifts, each can have its own message. Add the note during checkout, not after the order is placed.

Can I use the same message for every gift?

It's better to tailor each note to the recipient and occasion. A generic 'Happy Birthday' works, but adding context—like 'for your new apartment'—makes it feel personal. Customize even if it's just a few extra words.

What tone is best for a gift message?

Match your relationship: warm and casual for close friends, more formal for business associates or distant relatives. Avoid inside jokes or references the recipient might not get. When in doubt, err on the side of warmth and clarity.
