Ask about their current setup

Find out what phone they use and which accessories they reach for regularly. Ask what gets in their way on a typical day. A parent who spends much of the day on calls may care more about a clear earpiece than the features someone else would put first.

Plan the handover

Confirm the exact model, storage, condition and any exchange terms before ordering. If the gift is a surprise, leave room for the recipient to choose a case and transfer their own accounts. Keep the receipt accessible separately from the gift wrapping.
