CHRISTMAS PARCELS PREVIEW: PEEKING IS ENCOURAGED
Pick it up. Feel the weight. Squeeze it. Give it a little shake. Hold it up to the light. Pick at a little corner of tape to see if it will come off cleanly… Many of us have risked parental wrath trying to figure out what that shiny, alluring parcel under the tree is. But it’s good news – we couldn’t wait either! scratch the itch and open a few early with us. #happysharing
