Sound familiar?

Three of the same candle

Everyone guesses. Everyone picks the same thing. Someone's returning a gift.

The dreaded "what do you want?" text

Nobody wants to seem greedy. Nobody wants another bath set either.

Gift ideas lost in old messages

They mentioned wanting something months ago. By the party, nobody can find the message.
