Gifts should be personal - a generous gesture that demonstrates that you know what the other person would like.

• How about hand making a personalised card to go with it? Hand-made cards, complete with hand-written sentimental messages are becoming less and less common, but often, these are the cards that are treasured the most. Cut things out, draw things on, paste it together! Get creative like you're back in school again!
• For the gift itself, why don't you have the item in mind personalised? Buy a shirt and have their initials embroidered on the inside cuff; or a bag/brief case/purse with their name embossed on the inside cover. If you're really struggling for ideas, we think the secret to everyone's heart is through food and wine. Bake some cookies or cupcakes that have individual personal messages on each one and give with a bottle of [yellow tail] Bubbles.
