“I got some colored shirts for fun.” “Ah,” was her reply. She never remarked on my over-the-top purchases unless I was spoiling her. Then she objected. “Did you remember Heather’s gift?” I tapped my briefcase. “Of course.” “And Reed’s?” “Yep.” We had given Gracie a pair of earrings when she got married and Jaxson a set of matching cuff links to welcome him to the family. We did the same for Penny and Gavin. It had become our tradition. “Good.”

she asks. “A deed to your new home. It’s the least I could do.” She seems genuinely surprised and happy. “Thank you.” “You didn’t have to.” Gio says. “I did. It’s your wedding. You deserve a gift from your brother.” “It’s a wonderful gift,” she says. “Besides, if we don’t like it, we can sell it and split the profits.” Behind her are two boxes with envelopes. One, a small pile and the other a much bigger pile. She places the envelope in the smaller pile. She must be separating the big gifts from the small ones. Smart woman.

“Pfft. I think Amelia just got lucky. She placed it front and center. If it had been any other gift in that spot, Gifted would've picked that instead." While some guests scoffed with veiled contempt, the envy in the room was impossible to ignore. Even if it had all come down to luck, it was Amelia’s luck. Now, a new thought was spreading among the guests. Since Gifted had chosen that ornament, which suddenly turned it into a rare treasure, would Amelia want it back? “Would you like to proceed with the exchange?" the mechanical voice asked, its tone devoid of any emotion. “Yes!" Xavier answered immediately, his voice full of delight.

he tried to find him but with his poor eyesight, he soon forget about it. Marcus messaged one of his butler when the presentation was already done. "Bring it on." A running receptionist sent the guests and Thayers into confusion. "A truck of gifts were sent by a man with a surname Eastwood!" Gilbert was deeply excited! he even almost jumped out of his seat and wanted to go out on his own. "Bring them in!" The reception however knew it can't be. "Uh, It can't be brought in. It is gold bars and statues worth hundred million dollars!"

Although childish, it makes the house full of laughter. My awkwardness with Kane also went gone in this game. I had no choice because he always end up as my partner.

Eduardo handed me a red pocket with a check on it. Damn. That was really a nice gift. Paul gave me a bunch of VIP cards from his clubs and racing competitions. Wayne gifted me an expensive drawing pen and sketchbook.

"I thought it would be the perfect site for a large-scale private playground." A collective gasp rippled through the room. The villas in this district were sprawling estates with astronomical price tags. To buy two of them, along with the adjacent land, just to raze them and build a playground for an infant was a display of wealth that bordered on the surreal.

another guest declared as they presented their gift. All the families were eager to curry favor with the Yeager family, so they spared no expense. They offered more extravagant gifts than the last. Everyone knew Terry loved antiques, so they tailored their offerings accordingly. “Lucky Enterprises presents a jade flower sculpture, valued at 10 million dollars.” As the gift-giving continued, the gifts became more and more extravagant. Zack’s grin grew wider with each announcement. Damien and Percy could hardly contain their delight as well. Today’s banquet brought them an enormous fortune.

“Thank yous all around, especially Aria for holding down my company. Your company, Bright Initiative Group is something special.” Someone starts clapping. Then another. Then the entire room stands. Hunter continues, “This Winter Wonderland Gala honors my mother. This year and every year forward we wll have this celebration round her birthday.” The applause grows louder. “We purchased over $250,000 in gifts. And every single item the kids requested like PlayStations, phones, everything, they got.” The room explodes. Hunter raises his glass. “To new beginnings. Divorces. And life as we know it.”

Some guessed it was a luxurious vacation to a far-flung destination, while others whispered about a priceless piece of art or a rare vintage car. The anticipation peaked when the clock struck midnight, and a hush fell over the crowd. All eyes turned towards the stage where Gloria stood, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Ladies and gentlemen," she began, her voice filled with excitement, "I present to you the greatest gift of all—a donation made in all of your names to a charity that holds a special place in our hearts."

Labeling them, he moved on. He unzipped a side pocket of his bag and pulled out the cards he had gotten for Svet and her father, Tres, Tres’s parents, and Rebekah Somers. Their gifts would easily fit inside the cards, so no wrapping was required. Tres had been talking a lot about the newest expansion pack for WOW so he had phoned Esmeralda and told her he’d be buying that for Tres. Svet had been easy; as soon as James had heard an advertisement for the Nutcracker coming to D.C., he ordered a pair of tickets for the 28th.
