Packing My Secret Paws

December 16, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat30 Comments

Somebody does not know how to properly pack presents!

Did I ever tell you what a cheapskate my human is? Sorry if I keep repeating myself, but so does she! Look at this — I have a great selection of Secret Paws gifts to send out and she tries to put them all in a small Flat Rate Priority box! Even worse, she did not even try to make it look nice with festive tissue paper.

You say good help is hard to find? Finding even MEDIOCRE help is difficult!

I’m not even done putting things in here! I want to include one of my books. (I am not sure if they have a copy already, so I made my pawtograph generic in case they want to regift it.) My human is going to have to accept the fact that she will have to use a bigger box and pay more postage. With any luck, it should get to my Secret Paws partner on Monday.

    MOL! At least our mom used a bigger box! However, she didn’t take the time to use tissue paper or to wrap everything. She told us we were lucky she got everything in a box and mailed it!

    Pee ess – we wish we were your Secret Paws match!

    I’m glad TW wasn’t the only human who didn’t wrap Secret Santa gifts.

    My human is cheaper than your human, hehe! She tried to put (stuff) her book into one of those flat envelopes which was fine except when it was done, it looked like one of those pillow mints??!!

    She smartened up, though, and used insulated mailers that worked out just fine. What a great bunch of stuff you’re sending there!

    I know with your snoopervision everything will be boxed just right!

    Our mum didn’t put ours in gift paper either, but that was because one year she sent a present to a friend in the US and customs ripped all the paper off and just resealed the box. It looks like your Secret Paw is going to be very happy with their gift.

    Sparkle, sometimes humans try to save money on the silliest things! But we guess that means there’s more money left for our toys and treats!

    Sparkle, your human is pretty “normal” for a human. Does that make sense? If they were NOT so cheap we’d be eating smoked sammin every day.

    It’s a lot of gifts and your human sure needs bigger box! She needs you to keep an eye on her and make sure she puts them in a right box with pretty tissue paper 🙂

    Why is humans are like that? We sended ours without wrapping too. We has to take it over the border and we has to leave the boxes open and the gifts unwrapped. Mommy said it was too much trouble to wrap everything!
    Me is sure that whoever gets it will be happy no matter what! Presents is always nice.

    Our mum almost had to sell a kidney to send a Christmas package to her parents in New Zealand the other day, so she totally understands your mum’s appreciation for the flat rate box. It sounds like you have a very lucky Secret Paws partner 🙂

    My Mom HATES paying more postage than necessary! So she sympathizes some with your human, but really, that is a bit of a hopeless case there! I am glad you sorted here out. Whoever is getting that package is going to have a terrific Christmas!

    Oh Sparkle, our Mom would do the same thing. Looks like you have picked out some great stuff. That is one lucky kitty that is getting that box. What fun. This Secret Santa stuff is fun. Take care.

    Yeah, definitely need a bigger box – but see the more your human can save on postage the more gifts she can afford…

    It looks like you’re sending lots of great stuff to the recipient, Sparkle!

    Your mom might faint if she knew what postage rates in Canada are like.
