Posh and Becks get 14 pushchairs – a personalised gift might have been a better idea

It's nice to know people care and that through a present they want to show that they're thinking of you, but sometimes gifts go amiss and don't really hit the heart like they should do.

David and Victoria Beckham have naturally been flooded with endless gifts from friends, family and loads of eager companies keen on being "seen and associated" with the couple and their new daughter Harper.

However, because people so often end up buying the same presents when a new baby is born – 14 pushchairs in this case – couples sometimes have a surplus of gifts that they don't really need.

In moments like this a personalised gift is the ideal present, a one of a kind thing that other people most certainly won't have considered.

A personalised gift will surely be something that people will want to hold onto as it's extremely distinct.

Otherwise, as with the Beckhams' situation, the couple are forced – especially if there's no receipt – to send the presents on to a charity for example.
