I suddenly had a flashback to old QVC days (when I was a child) and remembered an advert they used to show. Please tell me I'm not imagining it. It went something like this:
(Conveyer belt of parcels, cut to a lady of mature years wrapping presents, cut to conveyer - the parcels are all beautifully gift-wrapped).
VOICE-OVER: This is Mary. She get lots of presents. In fact she gets hundreds every week.
(Cut to Mary smiling, cut to presents being wrapped - in close-up)
VOICE-OVER: If you'd like to take the hassle out of wrapping a gift, just tell the operator and Mary will do all the hard work for you. That's just another extra little service from Mary and QVC.
What ever happened to Mary? Come to think of it, what ever happened to the more personal, family-style vibe QVC used to try and convey? Do you think the gift-wrapping service should make a comeback?
