Our little’uns 2nd birthday party is coming up.
I had NO idea that there isn’t a random order to the pass the parcel!!!

So, what’s the done thing??
Every kid gets to unwrap, then random on the big present?
Random unwrapping, then make sure my lad gets the big one?!
Or another way??!

you could try this, but im not sure its politically correct

Wrap up a potato.
Random passing.
Get’s em use to handling disappointment at an earlier age.

That vid is it just me or does the last bloke in the second group just drop it at his feet before they all dive to the ground and a charge goes off in the hole?

The law now seems to be that each layer of the parcel has a prize, and everyone leaves the circle with some plastic tat.

We had a magician at a party when I was young. He was brilliant. He made my friend’s sister disappear. We still haven’t found her. 🙂

We used to do a sweet or mini packet of sweets in each layer, random winner of the main prize, which might be worth up a couple of quid, no more.

danny – i spotted that.

I thought that about the video too, was expecting them all to end up in pieces.

So – the wife and I have been drinking and wrapping – the wrapping has gotten progressively more shoddy, and I can’t remember how many layers there are……
