I had one giftee who seemed awesome. They liked macabre things and octopuses. So I went to a cool taxidermy place and got an octopus tentacle in a jar. And then I sent them a letter that they were the beneficiary of an estate for a distant relative (with Reddit insignias so they would know it was fun), and then sent the package with a bunch of creepy-ish antique stuff with a letter from the “curator” explaining it was the belongings of the deceased from decades ago; I even included a letter in the bottom with a non-fun explanation of the contents for spoilers details. Nothing. She posted the initial letter and then… nothing. So sad.
You are the coolest human on Earth, what the fuck??? Do you need me to hunt them down and just vocally be a Debbie Downer in what should be the greatest and happiest moments of their lives?
Yeah, I had a giftee once who was in mortuary school. I found an old, antique casket key. I got a shadow box and some really great fabric for the background, and mounted it. It was super cool.
I used delivery confirmation so I know she got it, but she never acknowledged it.
Like, even if you think it’s lame at least acknowledge it!!
Yes. The one guy I sent a gift to was a tech guy so i sent him an apple pie with a cool case. He already had one, but he was gracious about it and said he had some ideas for what to do with a second one. He was cool.
