I bought my aunt tickets for The Producers, b/c she really wants to see it. Does anyone know of a good way to present the ticket to her as a gift?

Thanks for the advice!

Buy the cd and put the tickets inside of the jewel case. Or the coffee table book.

Otherwise you'll just have to hand them to her in an envelope like a gift card to the OLIVE GARDEN.

Or hand them to her when you're at the Olive Garden having dinner before the show.

Put them in a really big box and make her dig for them?

You should wrap the tickets in a small box and then wrap the box in a bigger box and that box in a bigger box and so on, until the last box is the size of a big screen T.V. (We did that to my grandmother one Christmas with earrings.) She'll never guess what you got her.

I would just put them in a card. Tickets don't fit inside a CD case.

One christmas my fiance got me tickets to see Beauty & the Beast. I knew for a while he had gotten them for me, but two days before Christmas, he called and said he was so upset that the tickets fell through. Looking back it was a lame excuse, but at the time I believed him. Well on Christmas morning, I was opening lil gift after little gift. Then I unwrap a really crappy looking box. I open it up and there are the tickets. I was so happy!

Aww, MotorTink, that was sweet... in a twisted sort of way.

Tell me, did he propose during the show?

hehe no, he proposed about 6 months later. It was really sweet though because he had never been to a show before, and didn't really have any interest in it. But he knew how much I wanted to see it, so he researched it and found the best times, etc. That was in 2002. He will be attending his 3rd show on Sunday and is actually really enjoying it all.

Where I work there are 5 theaters. Many people give tickets as gifts, and what they do is black out the name of the show with a marker and make the giftee walk to the theater with their eyes closed after making sure I don't say the name of the show out loud! oy. This happens a lot!

I always present them in a nice picture frame I think the recipient will like. Goes over very well!

I wouldn't care how they were presented. I just wish someone would give me tickets as a gift!

I made a video (a friend's 16th bday, made a slideshow of pix, etc.) on the computer and at the end of the 10 minute thing, it said "Oh! And you have tickets to Company and High Fidelity"

Ahem, DRSisLove, that post is not accurate at all. It was more like, *Date in December* "2:00 *HiFi poster art.* *8:00 Company poster art*."

Though the DVD did include a slideshow, and was very sweet. Oh, was I not s'posed to mention it was for me?
