This is quite a lovely scarf.  I had ordered it for my mother, gift wrapped and mistakenly had it sent to my address instead of hers.  I'm glad I did.  Out of curiosity I unwrapped it.  The gift card was terrible.  Looked like the printer ink had smeared all over the card but you could read what it said.  The box itself is plain and the gold ribbon is alright.  When I opened the box packing paper was staring me in the face.  The scarf was wadded up in packing paper....well maybe not packing paper.  Looked more like cream colored butcher paper.  Very tacky.  But the scarf itself was very pretty.  I'm keeping it.  I'll get Mom another one and wrap it myself.  She'd look better in an aqua or turquoise anyway...yup.
