As we get older we're lucky to get a gift - and as a giver, the bastards should be grateful that they're getting anything at all, god forbid they complain about the wrapping!
But sometimes it is necessary to go that extra length to give it a good candy-covered shell to give the receiver a glimmer of hope.
Hope that the gift inside is something nice;
Hope that they won't have to grimace and pretend to like it; and
Hope that they can take in back to a store and exchange it for something else.
The wrapping also provides the recipient a consolation gift - the wrapping paper - if the recipient unwrapped it nicely :)
