Covering Your Valentine’s Day Gift

Protect Your Beloved Gift By Scheduling It

As Valentine’s Day passed, did you pass the gift test by giving your sweetheart a present he or she truly cherishes? Hopefully the answer to that question is yes, so it is important to secure the insurance coverage that gift needs to be enjoyed for years to come.

If you got your loved one a box of chocolates, flowers, or a stuffed animal you probably do not need to worry about adding coverage for your gift. If, however, you went a different route and invested in a more expensive item this year, it is important to understand how to go about insuring jewelry and other pricey items.

The easiest way to get protection for your valuables is through your existing homeowners or renters insurance. If you have not already reached your policy’s limit for the valuable item you are looking to insure, all you need to do is add the item to your home inventory with an official appraisal.

If, however, you have reached your policy’s limit on things like art, jewelry, or furs you can schedule the item into your policy. Scheduled items have protection under your existing policy so you are saved the trouble of taking out a separate policy to protect them. By scheduling your item, you protect your item for the long term.
