Well not quite, but the sweater I'm wearing was a mere $5. In fact, it was probably a lot less considering I paid a total of five dollars for the sweater AND a beanie, priced at $40 and $10 at H&M respectively.
Here's how:
A little over a week ago, a lovely young lady posted a link on my Facebook wall. I was skeptical at first, but as I looked more into it, it looked pretty legit.

So I made my way to the nearest H&M, still skeptical, and asked the first employee I saw if I could use said gift card. The answer was yes, so I began my shopping determined not to spend more than the $10 the gift card allotted.
I ultimately found this sweater, originally priced at $40, on sale for $10.
Perfect, I thought, I only have to pay for the sales tax.
However, when I went to pay, the cashier told me I couldn't use the gift card, or coupon really, on items that were on sale.
Bummer, I thought.
But there was a beanie-- I'm kind of obsessed as of lately-- I had my eye on and I liked the sweater enough to pay $10 out of pocket for it.
So I returned to the cash register with both items and explained to the cashier I was going to use the card on the beanie.
In my mind, the total pre gift card would be a little over $20 and a little over $10 post gift card, so I was pretty shocked when my total post everything was only $5.51.
I've looked at the receipt about a hundred times and still don't understand how that happened, but I know better than to question an amazing deal.
So here's the moral of the story:
Wrapp is a pretty cool thing, I just don't quite understand it. The basics are you can give and receive gifts to and from your Facebook friends (some free, some you have to pay for).
It's legitimate, but from what I read from a few reviews, some gifts have some crazy terms and conditions.
