What to Check Before You Order
Before clicking "add to cart," confirm:
- His full name or initials: Spelling matters. We show a proof before production (2–5 business days), so you'll catch errors.
- Important dates: Birth date, anniversary, or other milestone—verify format (MM/DD/YYYY vs. other styles).
- Size & placement: Does a canvas fit above his desk? Will a whiskey glass fit in his cabinet? Measure twice.
- Color & font preferences: Black leather or cognac? Serif or sans-serif? Check examples in our collections.
- Delivery timing: Made-to-order means 2–5 business days production + 2–5 days US shipping. Plan 1–2 weeks for UK/EU. See shipping & returns for details.
- Handwritten card: Add a free handwritten note—this turns a gift into a message.

Why Made-to-Order Matters
Mass-produced gifts blur together. A made-to-order keepsake, shown to you before it ships, feels like it was made for him—because it was. You'll receive a digital proof, approve it, and only then does production begin. No surprises, no regret.
