A great place to shop for high-end fashion, particularly in XS sizes. I bought some very nice lingerie via their website and ordered gift wrapping as well. The package was just delivered today, ahead of schedule, and it's nearly perfect, though I'm a little surprised in how they fell short of perfect. The gift box itself is very attractive and sturdy, and it's nicely wrapped in ribbon with a bow on the top. They even put a cardboard ring around the bow so that it wouldn't be crushed during shipping. I've never had any store do that. Inside, the lingerie was expertly wrapped, with a small envelope with the gift note sitting on top. This is the one spot where they fell short: The gift note is printed on a plastic-y paper in an ugly, almost industrial font, and in all caps. The note also contains what appears to be a small serial number at the bottom. What? Everything else was exquisite and then the gift note left me scratching my head, wondering what the hell someone was thinking. I'll have to print and cut my own gift note before giving the gift.

Despite its notoriety, this site will mostly disappoint those who spend the money to join. Yes, there are a few real women on the site and it's possible to strike up a conversation with a few of them, but overall it's a huge waste of time and, frankly, a scam. You quickly start to see certain patterns in the "matches" that they send you several times per week that clue you in to the fact that the site is flooded with bogus profiles that AshleyMadison generates (the site makes money by charging men to send messages to women, so the more messages they can sucker you into sending, the better for their bottom line). To make matters worse, the site is a sausage fest, so it's difficult to grab the attention of the few real women on the site because they have to wade through scores of crude messages and $#*! pics every day (this tidbit comes courtesy of the couple of actual women I met on the site). Because the customers are all married guys trying to have an affair we keep our mouths shut, but really some AG should be prosecuting AshleyMadison for fraud or some lawyer should be pushing through an easy class action lawsuit.
