The Joy of a WowWee Parcel: Why a Personalised Gift Gives Twice

What makes a WowWee parcel so special?

A WowWee parcel is special because there's a name on what's inside. Every gift we send has been chosen by someone who cares and personalised just for the person opening it, then delivered straight to their door, with a gift card from the sender and never a price slip in sight.

A moment on the doorstep

We love this photo. A doorbell, an open door, and a parcel from WowWee.ie arriving on a winter's afternoon. It's a moment that happens on doorsteps all over Ireland in the run-up to Christmas, and it never gets old.

Inside might be a personalised Christmas ornament with the whole family's names on it. Or a personalised Christmas stocking, ready for Christmas Eve. A soft personalised baby blanket for a brand new arrival. Or a personalised candle for someone who needs to know they're being thought of.

Whatever it is, the feeling is the same: someone chose this for me.

The other half of the joy

Here's what we've learned over 21 years in personalised gifts: the person opening the parcel isn't the only one who's excited.

The giver feels it too. They spent time choosing. They typed in the name and checked the spelling twice. They wrote the message on the gift card. And now they're waiting, phone in hand, for the photo, the voice note, or the text that just says "Stop! I love it."

A personalised gift doesn't just land on someone's doorstep. It travels back to the person who sent it, as a smile.

Moments that last long after the parcel is opened

The best part of a personalised gift is that the moment doesn't end at the door.

The ornament comes out of the box every December and goes back on the tree, a reminder of who sent it.
The stocking is hung up every Christmas Eve, year after year.
The baby blanket wraps a little one through their first winter, and is kept long after they've outgrown it.
The candle is lit on the evenings when a little comfort is needed most.
