I so want my packages to be customized, but I have to work with in my personal parameters.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I really think you need to do what is right for you. I have some things made up ahead of time in various colours (like mug rugs, towels, and stilettos), and pull from that when in a time crunch. I live in a rural area so trying to find a specific item requested takes time and often some travelling, so I figure having a few things made up ahead of time is the sensible thing to do. But if I can I also make up something special as well. On another board we do birthday surprises, and it took me two weeks to find a turtle for one person. In that case, I was glad to also have things made up.
