ELEGANT TIN
I received this item today and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! What an elegant looking tin. It's a lovely presentation for a gift card. It's bigger than I thought it would be at "5-1/8" X "3/8". It's a stocking stuffer for my husband but I suspect we will probably hold onto it afterward and use it to give another gift card to someone next year. It's that nice.<br /><br />That said, there are some things I should clarify, one being the free shipping. Amazon advertizes free one day shipping but when you place the order the confirmation says free two day shipping. This didn't matter to me. Hopefully, I am never in a position where it will. I ordered the afternoon of Dec. 17th, and it was at my door in 48 hours. Impressive. I am not complaining about getting a free gift tin and free expedient shipping, I simply want to point it out. It's somewhat confusing and deceptive.<br /><br />The other point I wanted to make was about a message you can include with your order. Don't bother. It's simply a note written on the packing slip. If you need to address the gift or feel compelled to jot something down, might I suggest adhering a gift tag to the underside of the tin. Why do they have slots cut out of the bottom of the tin? I suspect it has something to do with being able to scan the card's bar code. Anyway, if you need to put a tag on it that's where I would do it.<br /><br />I considered rating this item only 4 stars because of these two issues, but I truly feel that the item is still worthy of the high marks and the issues are too small to demerit.<br /><br />Thank you, Amazon!<br /><br />Merry Christmas
