    At least you can afford to get them such a nice gift, some people can't even afford to feed their kids this Christmas. Be grateful for what you have instead of complaining about something so trivial. Your poor little darlings won't be scarred. Yes, it's annoying, but it's hardly something to dwell over.

    Also, if it's something that big, you should have had it delivered to another address so they won't see it.

    So the fact that some children can't eat justifies Amazon delivering a package in poor condition? It some how overrides Amazon's duty as a business? :rolleyes:

    God, some of these comments are ridiculous. How do you know she hasn't saved up all year to buy her children one big surprise for Christmas? Maybe she put it on a credit card? Is it at all relevant to the situation? I would be very annoyed if a present turned up unwrapped.

    I've always loved getting surprised, and hated finding out what I was getting, so as the child I would be very disappointed.

    Not everyone has someone else they can send the item too, either - and shouldn't have to!
