Nah, it's not like they can't figure it out on their own.

For the first time in my life I've finished wrapping my presents before the 24th (the day we celebrate Christmas in Europe, you know), and I still feel stressed out beyond believe. We might do it like Severin and his wife next year and just fly away over the holidays. Argh.

i had to buy presents for like 3 people. i have no idea how to wrap so i just patch it together and it looks like shit.
and sometimes i intentionally leave the price tag on. i'm only buying them out of social obligation so i want them to see exactly how much it costs to be a part of society. |

I usually pay/bribe someone to wrap mine, I really really suck (and hate) wrapping gifts.
Some people get all up-in-arms over the price thing, but I wouldn't worry. If anything you can use it as a joke or something about how much you hate gift-giving. |

HA. Wives are good at that shit.
Just try to remember if any of the prices are embarrassingly low and maybe selectively correct. |

the only people who would be sore over an "embarrassingly low" price on their gift would be the ones you didn't really care about anyway. fuck that shit.

What the fuck is up with gift receipts? If the person actually did have to return what you bought them, they would find out how much you paid anyway.

I wouldnt worry about it dude. i have a family friend who NEVER takes the tag off anything and it's become some of a running joke over the years. no biggie. i mean gift cards are crazy popular and you always know how much someone spent.
my brother reads a ton and buys books online a lot so i got him an amazon card. then i got a microsoft office 97 companion reader/manual from somewhere in the garage, cut out the inside pages like to hide a gun, and put the gift card in there. when he opens it im just going to shrug and say "i know you like books...and computers" |

JB, i thought you were an atheist and an anti-capitalist but i see now you are conforming quite nicely
soon you'll be an engineer designing your own dream house with a boat garage and a pool |

I only got two people presents. One of them was my dad and I dreaded handing over my debit card to buy it.
