Our older son Ethan came home for a belated birthday celebration. It was cancelled twice, first due to covid at his end, then due to the same thing here with Justin's family. But finally, we could celebrate.
No family pictures, as a special favor to E who hates having his picture taken as much as I do.
So here are pictures of two of our puzzle clues for two of his gifts. It's our family's annoying habit to ask the recipient of a gift to guess what it is with the dubious help of written or drawn clues.
Since usually the recipient has either made a list of what they would like to receive or there are certain always popular choices. In Ethan's case, it's Port. The trick is to guess the brand. This time it was Warre's Warrior (see below.)
The other gift required help from everyone and hints from the clue maker (also traditional.) If I told you the gift was a hundred-dollar bill in a little container made by Ethan's father, could you follow the reasoning behind the picture at the top of the page?

Bento less to, in a box with a john next to it indicating the maker
Took me a bit
Yes to warrior! No way the box with chop sticks minus two, then framed and sent to the potty...comes out with box and $100 bill. Box is only possible connection. You all are definitely from another planet.
Go, Karen! You are obviously from our planet!
Could never have guessed it.
I'd never have guessed it either. But then, we have a different word for a lavatory.
Um . . .No, nope, not me , and not I either.
