The three "G"s of gift Receiving

Before i begin, i should preface this with, i saw the Three "G's" of gift receiving a few years ago on a sitcom. I am not sure which one, Friends, According to Jim... anyway. But as the holiday season approaches, you are sure to get a "less than perfect" gift. If you would like to avoid insulting or offending the gift giver, then this little tid bit should help. The three "G's" are as follows. When someone gives you a gift, you open it, then:
1) GASP. And i mean, suck all the air out of the room. Act as if it is the most fabulous gift you have ever been given.
2) GRIN. BIG. The grinning can take an extra few seconds for you to formulate the proper 3rd step in your head before you open your mouth.
3) GUSH. "It is perfect" or "How did you know?" "Where did you find such an exquisite piece?" "Who told you i needed one of these?" "You know me so well." Well, i am sure you get the picture.

The following is not my usual take on things, but i just have to voice some agitation. I recently gave someone a gift. Not just a "ran out and bought it at the last second" gift, but one that i KNEW the person wanted, one that i purposefully and thoughtfully went and selected FOR that person. When gift opening ensued, the individual was less than thrilled, to say the least. I was hurt that i had disappointed the recipient, and then became downright offended when *I* was asked to return said item and select again! Since when is it the responsibility of the gift GIVER to return or exchange a gift? Isn't that what a gift receipt is for? Needless to say, this person will be getting gift cards (if anything) forever more.
So this is my PSA. GASP. GRIN. GUSH.
Happy Holidays folks.
