Practical Advices

How to Give Presents

• Leave the price label on the present, or, better yet, put on one with a high price.
• "Forget it at home".
• Give them the one they gave you last year.
• Arrange with other guests so that you all bring identical pajamas as gifts.
• Give detailed description, how you've bought the present - on which sale, show which defects it has.
• Give a shirt, say afterwards that you are very cold, put it on, and go home.
• Say: "I had wanted to give you a VCR, but I changed my mind when I saw this ashtray".
• Show up, stuff your face, don't bring a present, and don't even congratulate.
• Wrap your present in paper from herring - let them interpret it whichever way they want.
