Sometimes that works for you, rather than against you :) I once found a
box of 3 (new) hankies with a lily-of-the valley embroidered in one
corner. Embroidery is something I cannot do well, so that was perfect.
My step-granddaughter's name is Lily Roosevelt and, since her mother's
surname before marriage had been Duvall, I sometimes call her
lily-of-the-valley in a rose field. So, I made an edging with roses in
it for one of the 3 hankies (all I had the patience for <g>) and gave
her the whole box. She had two hankies for blow and one for show and
was very happy with the whole.
