First off, I stumbled across this FAQ blurb talking about the “small size (9 x 8 x 3) ideal for carrying your Burberry gifts.” Duh. What else would you carry in it, your lunch? Though, honestly, carrying your tuna sandwich in a Burberry bag would be kinda peak ironic, right? Anyway, the FAQ also mentions it’s made of “high-quality paper material” so it’s “sturdy and durable.” I mean, it *better* be. For what they probably charge for a piece of *paper*, it should be able to withstand a nuclear blast. Kidding (sort of).
Then I saw this thing about adding a personal message to a Burberry gift order (up to 200 characters). That’s cool, I guess. Unless you’re trying to write a novel on it. I’d probably just write something super sarcastic, like “Enjoy! (Or don’t, I don’t really care. Just wanted to get you a Burberry bag, lol).”
Now, the *real* question is, where do you even *get* just the bag? Apparently, some people are selling ’em online. I saw this listing for “Authentic Burberry Shopping Bag Paper Bag Gift Bag Luxury Packaging” for $15.00. Fifteen freakin’ dollars for a *paper bag*?! Are you kidding me? People are insane. But then again, I’m kinda tempted… Maybe I could start a collection. Burberry bags, Chanel ribbons… the possibilities are *endless*.
And okay, I know I’m going on a tangent, but the “Her Eau de Parfum Gift Set” description is kinda messing with my head. “Housed in a glass bottle topped with a pink cap and finished with sparkling gold detail…” Like, is this the *bag* or the perfume? It’s confusing!
Oh, wait, I see what they did. The bag is just a throw-in there, a way to upsell you to the perfume. Sneaky.
Honestly, buying a Burberry gift bag on its own feels a little… extra. Like, are you trying to impress someone? Are you just a sucker for the logo? (No judgement, I kinda am too…). If you’re gonna spend the money, maybe just buy a *real* Burberry item. Like a Snip Bag in Black (whatever *that* is, sounds kinda kinky). Or, if you’re feeling really fancy, one of those “structured bags made in Italy from smooth calf leather.” At least then you’ve got something to show for your money besides a fancy paper sack.
