R.I.P Macy's gift wrap

sgarless

So my mom and I bought 3 wedding gifts at Macy's for my cousin (2 shower gifts and 1 wedding gift) and obviously, there were HUGE boxes. The last few times Macy's gift wrapped for us and it was a lifesaver. But when we paid for these gifts and asked for gift wrap again, they said they stopped doing that a while ago. BOO!!!

So we had to get about 3-4 rolls of wrapping paper and attempt to do it ourselves. I'm not the best wrapper either, so doing these humungous boxes will be quite a challenge.

I'm sad =[

I wrap all of my gifts in aluminum foil.  No scissors or tape needed.

Well it is because you live so close to the Aliens.  Got to protect your gifts!

I should have read this sooner. My first year of law school I worked nights and weekends as a "Macy's Gift Wrap Associate" and I wrapped soooooo many baby and wedding presents! I actually kind of dug that job and left because I enrolled full time at school (instead of part-time) and maybe 6 months later I went back and BOOM! No gift wrap department! It's totally a dying art!

Maybe they couldn't salvage it when you left. They were in disarray over your leaving <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

Danie - how funny, I was a Macy's giftwrapper too! 7 years under my belt up here, till they axed it... it's amazing how you learn how to wrap ANYTHING, and make it look great
