Posting a christmas present?

colly10 · 2009-12-12 16:39:40

Hi, im looking to post a christmas present but im looking to get it wrapped in the brown paper that you sometimes get parcels in. Im just wondering if you have to pick up that paper and wrap it up yourself or can I just give the post office the item with an address and ask them to wrap it up for me? Thanks

AFAIK post offices won't wrap stuff for you.
I know you can buy boxes or bags that are post officey (like they've the space to write the address on etc, and can be sealed) but that's it.
If you want it wrapped in brown paper you'd have to do that yourself.
