Hi
I want a customer to be able if he or she want her products shipped as a wrapped gift. Therefore I want a checkbox on the OrderSummary, right to the left of the price.
Of course I want the checkbox selection to last as long as the ShoppingCartItem exist. The AttributesXml field looks interesting, but then I need to create a ProductVariantAttribute mapping, and I don't really need that. I don't want the ProductVariant to have the wrapped-option - just the ShoppingCartItem.
Also I dont want to change the database, so it would be good if I could use some existing field to store the custom data. Is AttributesXml the right way to go?
Add custom data to ShoppingCartItem

Right. Then the most advisably feature to use in your cas is Product Attributes (which you dont like)
The other out of the box alternative I find near of what you want is to create a product "Wrapping" and set it as a Cross-sell for those products which can have wrapping.

I think that checkout attributes apply also to anonymus customers. Besides do not devalue the data of customers who do not purchase anything. In my experience 30% + of customers register and do not end the shopping process, but they increase your database of potential customers (also valuable)
I ended up using CustomerAttributes. The only drawback is perhaps that I have to create a customer before he has checked out, which may lead to customers being put into the database that has not really bought anything. (I have anonymous checkouts)
