It arrived quite promptly. I have paid extra for gift box and a card, but it came in a tube and I suppose the card is inside the tube. As it is a gift for someone, I am not going to open it. I think it would be good if the card is wrapped round the tube on the outside, we meant to hand write some messages as well. But if we open it, we will destroy the presentation. And we wouldn't know if that is the right colour or indeed right product we bought in side. But we will take a gamble.
