My Grandmother used to put paperwork/labels from gifts in places like that !!  Thats where she kept the little booklet that came with her silverware !!  Won`t hurt to check !!

Mart, I should have put that most companies didn't put their information there.  Now, some individuals might - but with the gift label so big and in it I would be mighty surprised to see the lining separated to add more info.  (Would be thrilling if it did have something else!)
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Thats  what I meant,, people do !! However I have seen the inside of the box with pre-printed mfrs name stamped if the outside is a gift box !! This red tag has the persons names ,, he said it was given in remembrance of children !!
