Dear Season of Gift Giving,
The first step in acknowledging people successfully with material goods, is to figure out who needs a gift.
I've got your recipient right here; I have your gift, too. You go to the bookshop, or your bookshelf, and you get yourself a book... which you love, it must be one you love, and then you give it to a young person.
The future, kid, is kids.
PS About the wrapping; better read about this study, and check out this, too.
