Whether it's socks, wooly mittens or a hand made jumper; we've all had those presents that, simply put are just dreadful. The worst bit is trying to hide your disappointment.
Basically
You've just got to grin and bear it!
#1 - Smiling
Smile too much and you look fake, smile too little and you look sad. The trick is to imagine something wonderful like meeting Susie Bubble or going into Selfridges and saying nonchalantly ' I'll have one of everything'. Once you're at that happy place then try and smile as naturally as possible ( smile with your eyes and look them in the eye)!
#2 - Speech
If you go 'Oh... wow... thanks' it's pretty obvious that your present isn't living up to expectations! So try and be natural and definitely NOT slow. You want to go ' WOW thank you this is just gorgeous, oh thank you so much' and then proceed to kiss them on the cheek and move on to the next gift!
#3 - Body Language
DO NOT slouch and DO NOT avoid eye contact! You want to be sitting up straightish as to appear natural and relaxed, facing slightly towards them showing you're engaging with them. Looking them in the eye will make you appear more open and to not be hiding anything! Don't exaggerate hand gestures as you will only come across as trying to hard!
