My only option is ordering LV on line since I don't have a store within 500 miles. I'm always disappointed with their packaging but what can I do. I remember someone saying they did wrap boxes with a ribbon last year over the holidays. Can anyone confirm that? It's a gift so I'm hoping I can get at least part of the treatment I'd get in a store. After all, I'm paying the same price and having it thrown in a box with no care or concern really irks me.
