I sent Valerie's 2 --9 inch pine trees with a cardinal on top to a friend. I know I sent it as a gift and I'm sure I sent a To and From message. I got confirmation that it arrived today and emailed her. She was glad that I emailed her as she had no idea who it was from. Does QVC just put in a packing slip or where is there info re: who the gift is from? The enclosure said something about Valerie hoping she liked the gift. The funny part is she has a good friend named Valerie and she thought it was from her!

Re: When you send a gift.....

I send gifts to my sister all the time, and there is NEVER a message or indication of who sent the gift.  I find this to be problematic.  I don't necessarily want to gift wrap it, I just want the message that I wrote to be included.  Thankfully she knows that if it comes from QVC, it's from me, but that is the only way she knows.

All other vendors I send gifts from include messages.

Re: When you send a gift.....

Wow-that is not good but good to know!

And maybe if it's that small no one ever notices it!

If I ever send something as a gift again, I'll remember to let them know myself. It's a good thing you checked with her @elruth!

There is a place where you can add a message if sending as a gift. It's been a while since I used it but they don't automatically fill it in.

I always mention to my family that something from me is coming their way....so they can both look out for a package and know it was from me....just in case...

@OKPrincess  I regularly send gifts to my sister and nephew.  I always fill in the MESSAGE portion, yet it NEVER has been included with the gift sent.  Never!

Re: When you send a gift.....

I've read on here that the message is on the packing slip that's taped to the outside of the package.  It's not very noticeable.  Many people have complained about this.

Re: When you send a gift.....

I have gotten gift cards sent to me directly from Amazon, 1 this year and 1 last year, and although they have included a greeting card, it's never signed.  I need to tell the person that sends it to me that if they are paying for the card, not to include it anymore because it's a waste of their money.

Re: When you send a gift.....

My Mom sends me a lot from QVC from time to time, mostly food items around the holiday.  It always shows a zero amount on the packing slip and then her name at the bottom.
