For special occasions, I like to give a thoughtful gift and ensure it is unique for the recipient. However, I believe it is really the words that you write on the gift card, which can be the most touching. It can be tricky to think of beautiful words and messages to write inside so if you are after some inspiration here are some ideas and starters…
