It could be worse. I ran across a story a while back about a pair of brothers having a friendly birthday competition.

There was a pair of jeans they passed back and forth as a birthday gift. The challenge was getting it unwrapped, to pass back to the other brother next time.

They raised the bar each time in how it was packed. The last exchange I heard about, one of the brothers got the jeans, went to a junkyard, bought a car that was going to be scrapped, and laid the jeans on the back seat. He then had the junkyard run the car through the metal compactor which crushed it into a 3' cube, then hired a truck to pick up the cube and drop it on the other brother's lawn with a birthday card attached.

I suppose he could have gotten the cube cut into, but I don't think the jeans would survive the unpacking...
