Wrapping paper
(2007)
Wrapping paper is generally impersonal. Even if you are not in attendance when the gift is opened, this paper lets you say ‘Surprise!’ whilst simultaneously empathising with their dread of a dull present.
The exterior side of the paper displays an image of the giver, the facial expression portraying bored expectations of another useless present. Once opened, the gift is revealed along with an image of the prescribed excitement one is expected to display. A sarcastic tone can be achieved through gift selection, for example, a banana.
