Wasteful but nice if the person will reuse the tin
I kind of felt bad buying a gift card in a tin because it seems wasteful to me, but my mom is all about presentation and I thought this would be a little more fun than just giving a boring gift card to go with her new Roku XS.  To make it a little more fun, I froze it in a block of ice, which she thought was cute--Santa being from the north pole, and all.  She'll probably reuse the tin to give another gift card to someone else, so I guess it's not all bad.<br /><br />A lot of other customers said their gift card boxes were shipped in a padded envelope and arrived all beat up.  Apparently Amazon did notice the complaints, because mine was shipped in a cardboard box with the inflatable air pouches and arrived in perfect condition.
