Heineken Holiday Entertainment by Holiday Entertaining Guru
Remember: If you set peoples’ expectations low, you are always bound to come out a winner. Nothing illustrates this point better than gift giving. Wrapped presents are dangerous because the minute your greedy relative starts eyeing the package, the minute his/her mind starts to spiral out of control and into crazy land, dreaming that treasures like sentient robot butlers and lie within the cardboard encasement. Of course they’re bound to be disappointed when all they receive is a sweater (cue sad trombone). But set their expectations low with a Prank Pack Fake Gift Box —legitimate-looking boxes for uninspired gifts like Grave Fountains and “Coffee Talkies”—and suddenly that sweater is something to celebrate. Naturally, you’re going to dazzle with the veritable sack of presents you bring home for the Holidays, but there’s no reason you can’t stage the gift-giving coup of the Holiday season by setting everyone’s expectations low, then knocking ‘em out with a stunna. BOOM!
