That is hilarious.
I received a gift ...Oh my gosh. That is hilarious.<br /><br />I received a gift wrapped package from Amazon one year, and it was gorgeous. They did a Tiffany-style ribbon/bow out of that same pearly-white ribbon, and the wrapping was pearly-mint green. It was wrapped perfectly, as if it had been blessed by Martha Stewart herself. I pictured someone like my mom working the gift wrap area that day.<br /><br />I haaaaate wrapping gifts, so I can't laugh too hard. The first couple look nice, but then I get impatient/bored and start throwing things in gift bags full of tissue paper.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704469867788218608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-40806220240414081752013-08-30T19:21:18.285-04:002013-08-30T19:21:18.285-04:00See, that sounds like me!

That's A LOT of excess paper...it makes me wonder if that particular elf was angry that day. =o)dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-38845146496646695522013-08-30T14:43:32.138-04:002013-08-30T14:43:32.138-04:00I'm an acceptable gift wrapper, certainly bett...I'm an acceptable gift wrapper, certainly better than that Amazon employee.

But Amazon is awesome and did the right thing in the end. I'm glad you said something to your friend too because I know that if I paid extra to get gift wrapping done, I would do that because I expect it would be much better than I could do myself, and the job they did on that was exactly the opposite.<br /><br />Just want to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Birthday!!!!!<br /><br />(I know it's not today, but this is the start of your big birthday weekend, so it's appropriate to start saying that now)The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
