It happened with basically every item I sent - it seems odd to me that the random collection of NC wearables I was giving away all have that feature.
Also - if thats the case, is it normal that it happened as soon as I sent the items?
I feel like there was some error with the usernames of the people I was tying to send the items to and Neopets for some reason substituted my own username.
Ok - I just tired again.
On the pop-up window for the NC gift box, on the page where you have to enter your password it has the username of the person I actually wanted to send the item to. But I click submit and the next screen says "Congratulations your gift has been delivered to [my username]". So the other person is just not getting it and I've wasted all my gift boxes before realising this had happened.
