Christmas Present -DO'S AND DONT'S-

[evilbutterfly]

RE: Christmas Present -DO

DO GIVE:

Money. Take a list of stuff they want, determine the cash value, and give them that amount, along with a note that says "Get it yourself, lazy ass." Make sure to deduct the amount of money spent on the note from their present.

A really tiny present (pocket knife, dollar store jewelry, Hot Wheels car) inside of a really tiny box, inside of a slightly larger box, inside of a slightly larger box, inside of a slightly larger box, inside of a slightly larger box, inside of a slightly larger box, inside of a MASSIVELY HUGE BOX. Make a really big deal about them opening it, and act like it's a huge thing inside of the box.

Or, put yourself in that giant box. Have other people say that you couldn't make it to the Christmass gathering, and then when they open the box and find you, you give them the real present.


DON'T GIVE:

A slap in the face (wait till the day after if they really deserve it)

Just a box. If you give them a box, make sure something's in it.

Joy and Christmas songs. For goodness' sake we know that Christmas is about more than joy to the world!

Money is bad. It shows that you put absolutely no thought into the gift. All I have recieved for Christmas/my birthday for the last few years has been money, and while money is nice, I would much rather have at least some presents =/

As an alternative to just giving money, give a small gift with some money. This shows that you put at least some effort into it.

Also, don't get clothes. People generally have enough clothes. And chances are they aren't going to want to wear whatever you get them anyway.
