I have to say that the big box filled with styrofoam packing peanuts, a box with a broken cup in it, a smaller empty box with a note taped in it and a clue, a gift bag with some old door knobs for weight, and a very small wrapped box with a note saying "These aren't the gifts you are looking for" all equaling a box full of nothing was a hit! Mayhem had fun opening it, digging through, being horrified he "broke" his gift and the laughter of realizing he had a box full of junk. I neatly wrapped his real gift and stashed it away until he had waded through the fake present. He loved it all and happily likes his real gift.

this was fun PF, thank you for the idea!!!!

ps. Mayhem is reading over my shoulder as I type and is chuckling the "ah Ha" kind of chuckle....oops, sorry PF, you may get a stern....








Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son recieved 4 new Nintendo DS games from his Aunt & Uncle for Christmas...taped to the insides of the flaps of an empty box (about the size of a large shoe box)...no weights...and the outer box was wrapped up. He thought he'd gotten an empty box. He's 8--so we found his reaction WAY more amusing than he did!

Funny, poor kid.............but funny.
