Unfortunately, I can't see what it looks like because it's still in set up and preview mode so buyers can't see it yet. 😕 It should be fully rolled-out by the end of the month and it includes multiple changes. "Gift wrapping" as a new option for a fee, "gift messages" which are free, and a new "packing slip" so when things are marked as gifts or include gift messages it will print without prices and messages will be included on the packing slip. The last time I had someone mark something as a "gift" and include a message it went in the "notes to seller" box which does not print on the packing slip so I had to copy/paste it to notepad and print it out separate. Not a big deal, to me, honestly it's not like I'm swamped with orders.
However, I am considering for the holiday season that I might not always use the packing slip option for gifts mainly because it will likely say what is in the pretty box making the concept of gift wrapping pointless. So if it were a "Gift" and included a gift message and was being shipped straight to the recipient I plan to print that message on one of my hand-colored Christmas cards and not use the official packing slip so as to not ruin the surprise. 😉
They are nice heavy card stock paper and I colored them with gel pens so they are all shiny and glittery and super pretty.
Also the hand colored every one is unique thing really fits with my whole shop being handmade and unique items.
I am all set for the season with pre-wrapped gift boxes, pile of pretty cards, plenty of inventory on hand. I really hope I get some orders that choose the "gift wrap" or "gift message" option so I have a chance to use this stuff. 😇
