Quick answer
Add the Extend Shipping Protection Plan when shipping a high-value toddler gift to an unfamiliar address, and include a Digital Gift Note to personalize the surprise.
Why shipping protection matters for toddler gifts
Toddler gifts often include multiple pieces — plates, cups, bibs, toys — and a damaged package can ruin the surprise. The Extend Shipping Protection Plan covers eligible shipping issues during transit, so you don't have to worry about lost or damaged items when the gift is on its way to a baby shower or birthday party.
The trade-off: protection costs extra ($16.80 for most orders) and won't cover every scenario. If you're shipping to your own home and can inspect the package immediately, you might skip it. But for gifts sent directly to the recipient, it's a small price for peace of mind.
When a Digital Gift Note adds real value
A Digital Gift Note ($0.61) lets you include a personal message with your Lalo order. It's delivered digitally, so it arrives instantly and doesn't get lost in the package. This is especially useful when you're not present at the gift opening — the recipient can read your note right away.
The catch: it's digital only, not a printed card. If you prefer a physical keepsake, you'll want to add a handwritten note separately. But for speed and convenience, the digital option is hard to beat.
Decision rules for protecting your toddler gift
- Choose shipping protection if…: Your order value is over $50, you're shipping to a different address, or the package will be left unattended. Add protection at checkout for a flat fee based on order value.
- Skip shipping protection if…: You're shipping to your own home and can inspect the package immediately upon delivery.
- Add a Digital Gift Note if…: You want to include a personal message but can't hand-deliver a card. It's quick and inexpensive. The note is sent digitally, so it arrives before the gift.
- Skip the Digital Gift Note if…: You prefer a physical card or are giving the gift in person. Consider writing a separate note to include with the package.
