"I know it&amp;amp;#8217;s tempting, when you&amp;amp;#8217;re buying a wedding or shower gift online and the site prompts you to add gift wrap for $4.95 a package ...No pretty paper required! But I say, skip it! Of course you don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to come off as cheap, and wrapped gifts do look pretty. Still, your gift is probably arriving wrapped in tissue paper inside a box, surrounded by bubble wrap, buried in packing peanuts, and sealed in a bigger box. By the time the bride and groom get to the gift itself, they&amp;amp;#8217;ve gone through two or three layers of packaging! There&amp;amp;#8217;s no need to add more paper (and tape and ribbons) to the pile! Save yourself the $4.95&amp;amp;#8212;per package!&amp;amp;#8212;and save the couple from having to recycle more paper! Do you usually pay extra for gift wrap when you&amp;amp;#8217;re shipping a gift? Do you think you think skipping it is cheap? Or smart?! More genius ideas: * Wearing a Slinky Dress to a Wedding?
