So, back to previously mentioned staff party. It was maybe 8 p.m. and after an afternoon of cooking and preparing, the party was in full swing. I was about to bring out the main course when the doorbell rang, and I was sent to answer it. There was a delivery guy holding a pizza box. "I didn't order pizza," I said distractedly. He checked the address - he had it right, but I explained that as I had just spent all afternoon cooking, there was no way I would have ordered a pizza. We went back and forth a bit, then he said, "Well, you have to take it or they'll deduct it from my paycheck." Anxious to get back to my guests, and tired of arguing, I reached for the box. It was light as a feather. "Who are you really?" I screamed. By then a small crowd of guests had gathered behind me, and delivery man came in. "I guess you bought my pizza delivery guy look," he said, as someone handed him a beer. He was a friend of an employee's husband's brother. "Open the box, open the box," said my guests. Inside there was a pop-up paper bottle of wine, and an invitation to dinner at the restaurant of my choice. My Christmas present. Such a great presentation! So sneaky! I highly recommend the fake pizza delivery to any of you readers looking to surprise someone with a gift. And I recommend delivering it at the height of the festivity - take it from me, it really works.

A great surprise zapped with Pizzaz. That's amore!
