packing it in
OK, how ridiculous is this?
The top photo shows the abundance of packaging in which I received a gift yesterday.
- At the top of the frame is the outer box, which was about 2 ft x 3 ft x 1 ft.
- To the left is the red gift box that was inside the outer box, about 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft x .75 ft.
- To the right of that, obscured by pink tissue paper, is the innermost box, which was inside the gift box. It measures about 1 ft x 1 ft x .5 ft.
The bottom photo shows all the packaging plus the gift that was inside. Can you spot it? It's a small silver jewelry rack, perfect for hanging dangly earrings from the cross-posts.
I like it a lot (Thanks, Mom!), but I don't see the reason for all the dead-tree cushioning. The rack is in no way delicate. It's made of metal, for heck's sake! What's the deal?

Heh! Remember all those press kits, from your Media Headquarters days, in which a folder full of paper would come packaged in multiple layers of bubble wrap and cardboard? Because you wouldn't want that paper to get... I don't know, bent or something, rendering it useless.
