    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I personalize a gift?

    We've made it as simple as possible so you're not spending your afternoon figuring out a gift.

    Here's how it works: find the product you want, enter your personalization details right on the product page (think name, initials, a date, or a custom message), and add it to your cart.

    On many of our products you'll even see a live preview update in real time as you type, so you know exactly what you're getting before you order.

    And before anything gets engraved or printed, our personalization team reviews every order to make sure the details are right. If we have any questions, we'll reach out before we start.

    Three steps. Done. The favorite lady in your life gets something she'll cherish forever.

    Can I see a preview of the personalization before it ships?

    It depends on the product. A lot of our personalized gifts for women include a live preview directly on the product page, as you enter a name, date, or custom message, you'll see exactly how it will look on the finished piece before you order. This works on many of our engraved jewelry boxes, custom glassware, and personalized keepsakes.

    For other items like embroidered gifts or custom-printed products, you simply enter your details and our team takes care of the design.

    No matter which product you choose, every order is personally reviewed by our team before anything gets engraved, embroidered, or printed. If anything looks off or we need to double-check a detail, we'll reach out before production starts.

    So whether you get a live preview or not, your gift is in good hands.

    What if I make a typo or enter the wrong personalization?

    We get it, typos happen to the best of us. As long as you catch it quickly, we can usually fix it. Just email us at support@groovygirlgifts.com as soon as possible after placing your order and we'll do our best to make the correction before your personalized gift goes into production.

    Once an item has been engraved, embroidered, or printed, we aren't able to make changes, so the sooner you reach out, the better. It's always a good idea to double-check your spelling, names, and dates before placing your order (we've seen "Jesica" more times than we can count).

    The good news: our personalization team reviews every engraved keepsake, custom jewelry box, and personalized gift order before production starts. If something looks obviously off — a misspelled name, a date that doesn't seem right, we'll reach out to confirm before we begin.

    Is personalization really free?

    Yes, personalization is completely free on every single order. No upsell at checkout, no "premium engraving" fee, no fine print. The price you see on the product page is the price you pay.

    A lot of personalized gift sites lure you in with a low price and then tack on a customization fee right before you hit purchase. That's not how we do things. Free engraving, free embroidery, free personalization. It's been part of the deal since day one, whether you're ordering one custom jewelry box or a set of personalized wine glasses for your bridesmaids.

    So go ahead and add the name, the date, the inside joke, whatever makes it hers. It's all included.

    What kind of personalized gift for her actually feels meaningful, versus feeling cheesy?

    The line between meaningful and cheesy comes down to two things. Where her name sits and how much the design has to say. Restrained pieces with her name engraved subtly, a single date, or a small monogram tend to feel timeless. Pieces with sprawling text, novelty fonts, or cluttered graphics tend to read as gimmicks. Stick with engraved jewelry, photo gifts where the photo is the focus and the personalization is small, and keepsake boxes with discreet names. Skip anything where the personalization is the loudest part of the gift.

    Is personalization/engraving really free?

    Yes! Every item includes free personalization. Just enter your details on the product page and we'll customize it before shipping.

    How long does shipping take?

    Many products ship within 1-2 business days from our facility in Monroe, CT and typically arrive within a few business days depending on your location. Some products can take longer in production, so for the most accurate shipping time on this item, see the estimate displayed beneath the add to cart button. Expedited shipping options are also available at checkout.

    What is your return policy?

    Because every item is custom-made and personalized just for you, we cannot accept returns on personalized items. However, if your item arrives damaged or with an error we made, we will replace it at no cost. Just reach out to us at support@groovygirlgifts.com, or via live chat during our business hours, and provide your order number and a photo and we'll take care of it.

    Can I cancel or change my order?

    Reach out to us as soon as possible at support@groovygirlgifts.com, or via live chat during our business hours. Once an order is placed and paid for we cannot guarantee any changes, but we will do our best to accommodate updates to personalization details, shipping address, or product selection before production begins. Once production starts, changes are not possible.

    Crafted With Care

    From design to delivery, our skilled production team at Groovy Girl Gifts works tirelessly behind the scenes to craft personalized gifts that create lasting memories.

    Best Gift Ever

    My wife absolutely loved it. Just celebrated our 44th Anniversary. We met 8 years earlier on a day I’ll never forget. The map and presentation are fabulous. And it lights up! If you have a first meet date you’ll never forget, this is a great remembrance. You’re other will be thrilled and touched.

    Excellent customer service

    I made a mistake on my order and didn’t notice until after it arrived. Groovy Girls worked to correct it for a minimal charge.
