Dear Queenie,
I went together with a friend of mine to buy an inexpensive gift for another friend of ours, and the friend I shared the gift with wrapped it in fancy expensive paper and ribbons. When the friend we gave the gift to unwrapped it she seemed disappointed that it wasn’t as fancy as the wrappings.
Queenie, did we do something wrong?—Gift-giving Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
You and your gift-giving partner did nothing wrong, but the recipient did. She should have just thanked you for what you gave her, never mind the wrappings.
