I run an online gift basket business, and I am delivering a gift basket from FL to CA, anyway, the sender wants to add a personal message. I was unsure about whether I should send his message in a typed card, or a more personal handwritten card. He ordered online, so of course, he is unable to write it himself. So should I try to neatly write the message so it seems more personal, or just type it up?

Maybe you should just write it so the recipient is more likely to read it, just in case.Do you need any assistance with your online gift business, by the way? I need some part time work.

If you have the time, and if you have good handwriting, then it would certainly add a personal touch to the gift. The person who is going to receive this gift, will certainly send a "thank you" note to the person who sent the gift. Or they might even pick up the phone, and call to thank them. Either way, you can be sure that your personally hand-written note will be mentioned. Who knows, it may create a reputation for your business. There is nothing better than the word-of-mouth advertising. Of course if this catches on, then your business is going to boom and perhaps you may have to hire a full-time person to write these hand-written notes for all your gift baskets. So what is wrong with that, right?

well you could type it and use a pretty cursive-looking font

The recipient will probably know that the sender didn't actually write it, so I think it'd be better to type the message, perhaps with an italic or cursive font. That will make your company look more professional. I frequently receive flowers and gifts that have been ordered online, and the messages are always typed. It's the sentiment from the sender that really matters, not who actually put it on paper.
