Presentation matters less for this recipient than for most, but a clean, uncluttered box still reads better than fussy wrapping he will only bin. The chocolate is the gift; the packaging just needs to get it there in good order.

A few practical points make personalisation go smoothly. Check the character limit before writing your message, and read the spelling back carefully, since a printed name is permanent and a misspelt one is worse than none. If you are working from an image, use a clear, bright one. Allow extra time in the order, because personalised print adds a step, and longer still if the christening falls near Christmas.

One honest note. If the leaver or anyone sharing the hamper asks about ingredients or dietary suitability, point them to the published product information rather than vouching for it yourself.

Presentation is worth a moment. A neutral, tidy box works across relationships, from a close friend to a professional contact you would rather not overstep with. It also spares you the guesswork of taste and colour that trips up more decorative gifts.

Start with the count. The standard is one favour per guest, placed at each setting. Where couples get caught out is the maths behind that simple rule. Count confirmed adults from your final RSVP list, then add a working buffer of five to ten per cent. That buffer covers late replies, the top table, suppliers you choose to thank, and the box or two that gets dropped or eaten before the day. For children, decide in advance whether they receive a favour at all, and if so whether it is the same one, since this quietly changes your total.

New babies and christenings bring a run of gifts aimed squarely at the child, which is lovely and also slightly misses the people doing the hard work.
