He went to exchange it, and customer service told him they carry nothing like that sweater....they didn't even carry the brand.

A few weeks later, I saw the exact same sweater---brand and all---in Wal-Mart.

People, if you know the gift came from someplace cheap or if you don't want the recieving person to know where the gift came from, use a plain giftbox.....available at most Dollar Tree Stores. Trying to fool someone into thinking you paid more for the gift than you actually did is not the bizness.
i have an aunt who gives jewelry in this tattered tiffany's box she found in her office trash years ago, and still has the nerve to ask for the box back after the person opens the gift!

triflin!
