Present a Present

A $1,000 budget is introduced during the first round. The source does not clearly establish whether that is a ceiling or target. No numerical points are assigned.

The greatest gift
Three proposals develop through questions and revisions. The voting rule is “No voting for yourself.” Brad votes for Ryan’s beer-of-the-month idea. Ryan criticizes Curtis’s secret room and tells Brad he also wins. Ryan is the round’s winner; his additional recognition of Brad is part of the exchange.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Ryan: beer of the month
Ryan favors consumable gifts and chooses an Around the World Beer of the Month Club: a box delivered to the door, rather than travel. Cheese, chocolate, meal kits and drinks advent calendars are alternatives discussed before he settles on beer for Daphne.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Brad: a tea set
Brad begins with an apartment or condo. After questions about unlimited money and an introduced $1,000 budget, he changes to a fancy tea set. Curtis suggests getting a nice antique one.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Curtis: a secret bookshelf door
Curtis moves from a new fiancé through a food-gift-card idea to a bookshelf attached to Daphne’s existing door. Pulling books in a particular sequence would open it. The others challenge the installation, privacy and practicality.
The worst gift
Ryan, Brad and Curtis propose burdensome or unwanted gifts. The group explicitly selects Brad’s unsolicited pet as the worst gift. Brad first names a dog; Ryan proposes a bird “that never gets referenced again,” and Brad accepts that change.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Ryan: unwanted entertainment
Ryan argues that permanent entertainment chosen without asking creates an obligation to keep and consume it. After discussing donations and unwanted presents, his specific answer is “13 seasons of X-Files,” preserved as spoken.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Brad: an unsolicited pet
Brad proposes a pet without being asked. An unwanted gym membership is also discussed, but he selects the animal. Brad names a dog, then Ryan proposes a bird “that never gets referenced again.” Brad accepts the bird; the gift remains his proposal.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Curtis: a Tamagotchi
Curtis chooses a Tamagotchi, describing it as a poor fad toy.
