Some Christmas Gifts For Smokers
If you know a tobacco smoker who is constantly paranoid, you “can” calm their nerves with this amazing gift.
These storage cans are really one of those things that every smoker would like to have, but its hard to dish out the $20 bucks for it the rare occasion they’re in a smoke shop. If you want to take this gift to the next level buy a 6 pack of whatever can you get. If you want to take it to the next level… Buy a 6 pack and put it in the pack concealed and reseal it. Don’t even tell them you got them a storage one.
They’ll be like, “wtf, _____ got me a 4 pack of Monster…” Later when they grab that one out of the case from the fridge it will hit them like a ton of bricks. Expect a stammering phone call the second they realize it.
This one is as much a gift as it is a slap in the face. Many smokers pride themselves on their rolling skills. An insult to their rolling ranks higher than “Your mama…” jokes. If they can’t roll to begin with it will be appreciated. If they can, I’d avoid this one.

Rules for accepting the gifts

There are some rules when you accept something as gift.
First of all, when you accept the gift you shouldn’t put it off. It is necessary to thank officially for receiving a gift after you unroll the package.
In the same time, you should look at your guest, and not at his gift. You should do that always, even if you don’t like the present.
Gratitude – first of all is the show of affection and respect for that person who tries to please you.
It is important to say thank you for the present and moreover to say that it is the most wonderful gift even if you received the cheapest and useless gift. You shouldn’t compare the gifts and give preference to some of them – that can offend your guests.
You should place the gifts on the special table. In case that you don’t have one, you should take them away, because they occupy a lot of room.
If somebody arrives without a gift, you should greet the same as sincerely as the rest of guests. Thank him because he visits you and say something that will not offend the guest.

In case that you receive 2 or 3 similar gifts you shouldn’t show your dissatisfaction. Moreover, you must do something that your guests wouldn’t feel confused in this circumstance – try to hide all gifts – doubles.
As you know, the homemade gifts are more appreciated than others. So, you should say thanks twice for this kind of presents.
According to etiquette, if you receive gifts like chocolates, wines, cigarettes you should share the goods with your guests.
But, what you should do in case that you receive the gifts which you don’t like that much? One advice – carry on. The guest has thought about you when he has selected the gift.

In which case you shouldn’t receive the gift? The question is very difficult and the reasons can be many. The situations can be, for example, the high, sky-high price of the gift or inexpediency of the gift, its tactlessness.
There are situations when you don’t receive the gift from a certain person, even if you don’t have the permission to accept this gift, but he brings the gift.
In this case, you should use the following simple exclamation: “No, I can’t take it”.
You should refuse it positively, but arguing this with your words in order that the guest can get away calmly. It is necessary to explain the reason of refusal. In the same time you should thank him for his attention.

Zippo lighters

As we know, many people have collected something during of their life. It’s a simple hobby and you can be also among these people.
First at all you should decide which things will complete your collection. I can suggest you to collect cigarette accessories like: cigarette cases, cigarettes lighters, cigarette ashtrays and so on.
Your collection will grow in time. You can select unusual things for your collection when you will travel or simple when you will go shopping or visit a pub.
You can collect Zippo lighters also, but in this case it isn’t necessary to be a smoker. You can be a non-smoker but like fashionable things.
I will relate about some historical events in Zippo lighter life.
The first Zippo lighter was produced in 1932. It had rectangular shape with a hinged lid. It had a hood for protecting the flame at the wind.
As we know, George Blaisdell designed the shape for the first Zippo lighter 75 years ago. He had the idea to promote this kind of lighter with the help of a well-dressed man who tried to light his cigarette with a voluminous lighter.
After some time, he developed his own lighter line. This kind of cigarette lighter had a small shape and they could be kept in the hand. He added a hinge to make easier the opening of the lighter. Moreover, this lighter could be open with the help of one hand only.
Nowadays, Zippo Company has produced not only well-know Zippo lighters but also: key holders, money clips, and tape measures, ball pens and so on. In addition, Zippo lighters can have different shapes like: Santa Claus face, dartboard, smiley face, etc.
You can also present a gift for your friends who are starting their own collection. More than that, you can interchange your collection with other collectors around the world.
