The point is a personalized gift will have emotional value for him over a generic gift - many times over. They are gifts that hit home.
We believe the difference between a good gift to a great gift is - Heart, meaning a gift personalized with a special Photo, Message for him - brings the heart to the fore of the design process and gift result. The gift giver and gift receiver are connected in essence by the personalization gift process and it produces something deeply meaningful.

We know from Neel Burton author of Heaven and Hell, The Psychology of Emotions and other gifts, who said its not the gift that counts but the thought behind it. This can be seen in psychology today.
