Chapter 46 Special Gift Box
In order not to damage the well-packaged gift set, Gao Qingmiao took out a basket from her home.

Fifty gift boxes were carefully packed into baskets and covered with dust cloths to prevent them from getting bumped or dirty.

Gao Qinghe also brought all fifty silk scarves and lipsticks she had ordered, along with 30 pairs of leggings and 20 pairs of pantyhose.

The next morning, before dawn, the siblings took the prepared goods and drove to the county town.

Before even reaching the stall, I could see a black and white figure squatting on it from afar.

"Little Black!" Gao Qinghe exclaimed in surprise.

The dog turned and ran away, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

Gao Qinghe shrugged confidently, clearly embarrassed.

The sun came out; it was a bright and sunny day.

Gao Qinghe had a vague premonition that today's gift set would definitely sell very well.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Qingmiao set up the stall, and Gao Qinghe went over to the shoe insoles and asked Sister Hong if she had any unwanted shoe boxes for her.

"What do you need this for?" Sister Hong asked curiously as she went to look for it.

Today, the shoe store is also preparing some special offers to reward loyal customers for the holiday. Sister Hong's husband specially set up all the empty spaces at the entrance.

Seeing the two cloth-covered baskets behind Gao Qingmiao, I couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Xiao He, what new things did you bring today?"

Gao Qinghe took the old shoebox from Sister Hong, turned the lid over, borrowed a red pen, and wrote while laughing, saying:
"It's the same stuff as before, but since it's a holiday, we added some new things."

The couple asked in unison, "What's new?"

As she finished writing, Gao Qinghe held up the shoebox.

The label reads: "Department Store Exclusive Limited Edition Women's Day Premium Gift Box! Price: 18.8 RMB, No Bargaining."

The department store's unique opening alone was enough to win over Sister Hong.

That's a large shopping mall that only exists in the provincial capital. You can't find one in the county town, or even in the city!

Sister Hong urged, "Why don't you take it out and let us see it!"

I also had some doubts about whether it was true or false.

Gao Qinghe calmly took the shoebox and set it up at the stall.

Gao Qingmiao had already laid out the bodysuit and leggings.

Individual lipsticks and scarves were also laid out on a base lined with pink boutique bags.

These high-end bags are expensive; Gao Qinghe had seen them at two other shops selling small accessories on the pedestrian street before.

However, you can only use these bags if you buy a total of ten yuan.

But now Gao Qinghe uses it as a cushion; its pink color is very eye-catching.

Under Sister Hong's expectant gaze, the siblings took out the packaged gift boxes from the basket one by one and arranged them neatly.

Where in this county town have I ever seen this kind of packaging?
As soon as it was set up, people stopped in front of the stall.

The literate person quickly noticed the contents on the shoebox and read them aloud.

"Limited edition gift boxes from department stores, even specially made for them, is that true?"

What's inside?

"It costs 18.8 yuan! That's so expensive!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but the siblings didn't answer, only smiled, and focused on tidying up the gift boxes.

Fifty exquisitely packaged gift bags placed together look quite high-end.

I don't know if it's just psychological self-suggestion, but I suddenly feel that this packaging is a perfect match for the price of 18.8 yuan.

People who had been to the provincial capital's department store were drawn over by the commotion and exclaimed, "Wow!"

"This gift bag really does look like the kind used in high-end department store counters!"

"Really are?"

The one who asked the question was Sister Hong, who had been joining in the fun for quite a while.

The visitor nodded uncertainly, "This kind of packaging isn't available anywhere else. If it didn't come from a department store, then I don't know either."

As she spoke, she inquired with great interest, "What gifts are in this gift bag?" Gao Qinghe picked up a silk scarf and a lipstick and explained to everyone that these were the two items inside the gift bag.

You can buy them individually, in sets, or directly purchase high-end gift sets.

Whether given as a gift to a superior, a spouse, or an older female relative, it is a respectable gift.

The stall has been set up for several days, and many people in the county have visited Gao Qinghe's stall and know the prices of her scarves and lipsticks.

A silk scarf costs ten yuan, and a lipstick costs five yuan. With a 10% discount for purchases over a certain amount, the total comes to thirteen yuan and fifty cents.

But why is it that the same item in a gift bag costs five yuan more?

When questioned, Gao Qinghe smiled and said, "How can giving something as a gift or using it yourself be the same thing?"

The answers are definitely different.

A customer who had been to the provincial capital's department store readily agreed, "I'll take two!"

"I'll take one too, to give to my wife!"

A young man, full of anticipation, bought another one.

The customer who bought two gift bags earlier probably wanted to check the contents of the gift bag, so they opened one of them.

A moment later, he exclaimed with delight, "This gift is so meticulously crafted! It's definitely different when you use it yourself versus when you give it as a gift!"

Hearing this, the customers who were initially hesitant immediately ordered one.

He can't be without what others have, or he'll suffer the consequences.

"I'll take one too. Can you choose the style and wrap it in a gift bag for me?"

A middle-aged woman dressed simply, like a worker, asked with a generous smile.

Gao Qinghe nodded, "Of course, you choose, and I'll wrap it up for you in a gift bag."

"Is this a gift? If you're unsure which pattern to choose, I can offer some recommendations," Gao Qinghe added.

The woman suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "I bought it for myself. It's a holiday today, so this kind of packaging seems more appropriate."

What's there?

The woman was speechless, unsure how to describe the feeling she desired.

Gao Qinghe reminds us: "It's all about the sense of ceremony. Who says gifts have to be given by someone else? You can give yourself a gift too."

The woman was overjoyed. "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say! Boss, you're so good at describing things! The word 'sense of ritual' is so apt!"

"Well said!" Sister Hong interrupted domineeringly in a loud voice, "Xiao He, pick out a set for me, it has to be different from the ones you gave me before."

Gao Qinghe: "I guarantee I'll pick out the one that's perfect for you!"

"You can choose for yourself?"

Several young girls approached together and asked.

Gao Qingmiao took out a pink gift bag and generously said, "If you're looking for a good deal, you can buy it separately, and the gift bag will be given to you for free."

The girls happily started choosing.

Gift sets are also very popular. Although they are relatively expensive, people buy them precisely because of that price.

Fifty gift boxes may seem like a lot, but they sold out much faster than expected.

With today being a holiday, all female employees have a half-day off, and the place was packed with people at noon.

Gao Qinghe was still explaining outfit ideas to a customer who wanted to buy bodysuits when she turned her head and saw that the gift boxes that filled most of the stall were empty.

The customers who arrived later after hearing the news had no choice but to opt for a combination they wanted and have the owner pack it for them on the spot.

However, more people were looking for value for money, and dozens of scarves and lipsticks were sold in a short time.

Throughout the day, Gao Qinghe and her brother were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water or eat.

Collect money, package, collect money again, package again, my face is stiff from smiling.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, there wasn't a single customer left at the stall.

Because everything was sold out!
