Quality
You’ll want to find items made of quality materials, built to last, and crafted by folks who know what they’re doing. Indications that the product was made in the USA or has sustainability, fair trade, or other certifications are always a plus.
Return Policy
You’ll want to avoid places that offer store credit only instead of refunds, especially if the store is far away from the recipients’ locale—or simply may require them to add another time-consuming errand to their to-do list.
