Of course, who can blame them when the boxes are big enough to climb into and journey into that ever active land of kid imagination? It's a great place to visit.
Funny since the boxes are probably designed to lure parents/grandparents/etc. into purchasing the toy in the first place.
I know people who put a lot of effort into the wrapping of presents. I try to make packages look inviting, irresistible...it just doesn't always work because I'm just not 'gifted' in this area. Sometimes, if I'm not exactly thrilled with the gift, I might try to dress up the wrapping...to detract from the gift. But that can be misleading. If you receive a beautifully decorated package, doesn't it follow that the gift inside will be nearly perfect?
I also know people who put a lot of effort into their outward appearance. You know the type- everything matches from their earrings to their shoes. Head to toe color coordinated. I'm not saying dressing like this is wrong. As a matter of fact, I think a lot of it is quite aesthetically pleasing. Especially if you're Doris Day- she could wear an outfit, couldn't she? :)
BUT, with some of these people, I can truly understand why kids like the boxes better than what's inside.
You can't dress up a negative attitude. You can't dress up judgmental hearts. You can't dress up insincerity. You can't dress up greed; hatred; stupidity; arrogance...
Packaging can be misleading.
Not to mention, hard to open.
Have you ever been fooled by 'packaging'?
