Target's See-through Wrapping Paper Trickery

Went to Target two weeks ago to buy wrapping paper for a friend's wedding present. Purchased shiny silver wrapping paper. But I was tricked. It only looked silver when wrapped around the roll. When rolled out, it was CLEAR!


















So I went back this week to purchase wrapping paper that would actually conceal what is wrapped. This time my friend assisted me in choosing a roll. We chose a shiny blue. When I got home to wrap it...it was see-through blue! I couldn't believe Target had tricked me a second time.


















My friends and I cannot even imagine why one would want to buy clear wrapping paper. What purpose could it hold to have your gift be seen through the wrapping job. Perhaps a gift basket they give out at a raffle would want to be wrapped in clear wrapping, but how dare they mix this amongst other opaque wrapping paper options.
