I wonder what my buyer in Texas USA will think when she gets her parcel - a pair of Bendigo S&P shakers in bubble wrap inside a recycled Metamucil box, wrapped again in more bubble wrap, bolstered with styrofoam peanuts, all inside a cut down printer cartridge box. All under 500 grams.
I hope it amuses her as much as it amused me while I was packing it all up.

Oh I wonder if it's my friend that lives in Texas lol
We often laugh about the amount of packing we both use when sending gifts.....it's a real challenge sometimes to open them !

It reminded me about the old box in a box in a box present trick, Twinks

Not sure about the Metamucil box, Icy.
Give me plain packaging any day.
As your buyer I would think it tacky.
meh...so what?
As long as she gets her item in good order and in good condition, that 's the main thing.
