So many families will be sending off gifts and care packages to loved ones this winter. OfficeMax lets you Ship Holiday Cheer with hundreds of options! From bubble wrap to packing tape, shipping details can be just as festive and fun as the contents inside. I visited our local OfficeMax store to see for myself.
I had something special that I have been meaning to ship to a certain someone. I procrastinate sometimes. *tsk* The holiday-themed packaging materials were found throughout the store. I had expected to find everything in one display, but with the help of staff {three, including the manager on duty} we found just what we were looking for among the center displays, end caps, and shipping supply aisle. When in doubt, ask the friendly OfficeMax staff! They were so helpful.
We saw red and green bubble wrap, decorative bubble mailer envelopes, holiday stickers, address labels, stationery, and {my favorite} Deco Duck Tape. And there are plenty of standard gift wrap/shipping supplies as well {scissors, pens, etc.}. It does seem strange to send a gift in a plain box. So zhushed it up with some of the wintry Duck Tape!
I only wish I could see her face when this arrives at her door…
The best part is being able to ship out your gifts in store! OfficeMax gives you the gift of time and convenience. You can easily ship packages via FedEx with the OfficeMax staff ready and eager to help. Also, OfficeMax is offering 25% off FedEx shipping services until December 28, 2013.
Save on Holiday Supplies and Shipping at OfficeMax!
OfficeMax makes it so easy and affordable to package and send your gifts and care packages this season. Receive a free $10 OfficeMax gift card when you spend $30 {before taxes} on select Duck-branded holiday shipping supplies! This offer is good until December 26, 2013.
