How To Send a Gift To Someone At a News Network?
Hello everyone,
A news personality who've I've conversed with often on Twitter and some on Facebook recently completed her MBA degree. I wanted to send her two books (about business and life that I'm purchasing from Amazon.com) as a "graduation gift" of sorts that I think will help propel her further in her career. However, I am not sure which is the best way to go about sending them to her at her news network (and her actually receiving them).
- Send them in a package (directly from Amazon.com via their "Give as a Gift" option) to the news network and put "C/O NAME" (NAME = news personality)
- Send them in a package (send to my home first from Amazon.com, then use FedEx or UPS to send from my home to the news network) to deliver the package to the news network and put "C/O NAME" (NAME = news personality)
-Send them in a package (send to my home first from Amazon.com, then use FedEx or UPS) to deliver the package to the news network and follow directions from news network after I call them)
The only thing with the third option is that, I fear the news network won't allow me to do it, especially after 9/11 and the incidents/powders with various packages. I know that security is tighter, understandably, but I want to be sure to the best of my ability and control that the books get in her hands. (I'd prefer it being a surprise if possible). I know they post their mailing address, so presumably, people can send them mail; just not sure if a package with a few books would be considered suspicious or not.
Also, I was considering the second option because I had considered writing a congratulatory and encouraging note inside of one of the books. I don't think Amazon's "Give as a Gift" option puts the note inside of a book, but instead puts it on the package itself. That'd be okay, I guess, but if receiving the package at home first and then sending the package via my home to the news network would increase the chances of the news network delivering it to her, I'd be willing to take the package first and send it myself.
What would be the best way to go about doing this? I'd appreciate any suggestions, thoughts, experience if anyone has sent items/packages/gifts to personalities at news networks - thank you.
Take care,
Joe
