       @ParadeGrotesque Me neither. This is my workaround:0. Place gift in another room from where your partner is.1. Blindfold your partner, lead them into the room.2. Remove blindfold whilst saying "surprise!"It makes it seem like a big deal, and essentially you're unwrapping the person instead of having the person unwrap the $thing. Same effect, no work, less waste.

       @ParadeGrotesque It's true. Not a Ferrari, but my OH has die-cast models of our own cars, past and present.

       @fitheach Looking at your answer, I imagine a hairy burly Scot in kilts (think Hagrid sized here), showing me his collection of cute teensy tiny vintage die cast cars, while I drink tea with scones.That has always been my problem: a hyper active imagination.

       @ParadeGrotesque Not quite. Solidly built, but not fat. Short hair, clean shaven. Doesn't drink tea, and no longer eats scones. The die-cast models belong to my OH. I do have a kilt. Otherwise you are spot on. 😃

       @fitheach No scones? No beard? Unpossible !!You should surrender your Scottish nationality at the nearest police station immediately, really.
