Should I ship candy boxes gift-wrapped or in plain brown thru US Mail?

Will gift-wrapped boxes encourage looting by the mail handlers?
Whereas something shipped in plain brown looks less festive when the
recipient gets it. Please advise.

US mail handlers aren't notorious for looting packages - I have never had
anything go astray and I have mailed obvious gifts, cash, wine, you name it.
Why not put a brown paper wrapper over the gift wrap or put the whole
package in a plain box?

Plain brown or some such may be required. PO certainly will not be
responsible for tearing of gift wrap, which tends to be more delicate.

Ship gift-wrapped and then wrap newspaper (always fun to read what life is
liek where the package orginated, and then brown wrap.

Not to avoid theft (I think it's pretty obvious that most of the packages
are gifts, and the Customs Declaration pretty much simplifies the process of
theivery of wanted), but to pretect the goft wrap.
