Here are a few things to look for when someone opens your gift.
- They look at the tag of who it’s from in preparation for disappointment.
- The older the gifter is, the likelihood of giftee’s disappointment increases.
- The puzzled look on their face once they open it.
- They look at all sides of the box to see if it’s the wrong box for the contents
- They open the box all the way and start to investigate to see if there is another present in there, you are going to surprise them with.
- They start using the gift right away, and this will be the last time they use it.
It is far better to give than to receive, because you feel better about giving crappy presents than about receiving a terrible one.
