In the States there's a tradition of giving a differnt type of gift each year. The first gift requirement is that it must be somthing made of paper. Our gift to each other were our tickets to Italy! The best paper gift ever.

I guess if our gifts are always this kind of paper we wouldn't mind getting paper as presents every year... :)
