Synopsis A gift tempts a man to take a look inside while his girlfriend is in the other room. Initially the boyfriend is hesitant, but the gift charms him into giving her a shake. He hears nothing, so he still has no clue what the gift bag might contain. The gift taunts him further. She points out that without peeking, he will not know how much his girlfriend expects him to spend on her present. The boyfriend succumbs to his curiosity and pulls down the gift’s tissue paper to have a look. He finds an appalling sweater. Her poor present selection leads him to believe that his girlfriend doesn’t really know him at all.
