I'd try all the tricks. I haven't changed a bit. I still want to know what's in the box. I'll help you, if you help me.</p><p>Here's mine...</p><p>I know my dad got me one of two things. It's either a new video card or a new hard drive for my comp. The size of the box can be tricky, because we both like to put presents in boxes that they didn't originally come in. Here are the stats... The box measures 10.5x10.5x15.5 inches. It weighs 3 lbs 6 oz.</p><p><font size="3">WHAT'S IN THE BOX?</font></p>

<p>I can remember as kids me and my brother used to take a small sewing needle and use it to cut the wrapping paper on our video games along the edges.&nbsp;We would then unwrap them, play them, and rewrap them by the time the folks got back home from work. All ya had to do was just put a new piece of scotch tape over the old one you tore with the needle seeing as how ya didn't really do any damage to the wrapping paper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In hindsight, it took alot of the value of Christmas away in that by the time December 25th rolled around we were already sick of playing with our gifts.</p>

<p>I've never heard of a 3 pound video card.&nbsp; Enjoy your new hard drive, but don't peek, maybe your dad threw some old batteries in the box to throw you off.</p><p><img src="http://www.comixpress.com/catalog/images/WITBOd_cvr.jpg" border="0" width="188" height="290" /></p>

You have to take the weight of the box, and the packing material (and possible old batteries) into consideration. I must admit... I once gave one of my brothers a gift certificate, that I placed between two blocks of wood.</p><p>I did the same sort of thing for all my kid's presents this year. I bought most of their presents online, and wrapped them in the boxes they were shipped in. Tricky, eh?</p>
