What this isn’t

A plastic mailer with a slip of receipt paper is not a gift.
This is.

A torn blue-and-white plastic bubble mailer with a hardcover half out of it and a printed gift receipt with a QR code on top
Not this

A poly mailer, a bubble of plastic, and a receipt with a QR code where your words should be. They know what it cost. They don’t know why you sent it.

This

A brand-new book in a cream box, in tissue, under a ribbon — and your words, handwritten in real ink on the first page. Never a price. Never a receipt.
