The car shape is also part of the packaging. Imagine her supprise when she removes the wrapping paper and the mockup plastic and cardboard imitation car shell to find she has......... a brand new book.

Come on, you know you want to.

Send one over here, I am a great Toyota fan, we have only Toyota vehicles in our family. (that should be worth something from the advertising budget)

I can arrange for Press, Radio and TV reporters to be ready and waiting.

The welcome mat is out, just waiting for the Postman, right now....

Wrap it with a ribbon from top to bottom and then arrange some balloons on it which gives you a look of new one or a gift......
