Argentina, maybe? Kevin wasn’t sure. There was definitely one country where gifting a set a knives was a major etiquette gaff. Bolivia? Austria? No. Definitely somewhere in South American —or possibly Central America. He couldn’t even remember where he learned that factoid. It seemed slightly too specific to be gleaned from a Snapple cap, and he doubted it was from a game show. Kevin had a talent for game show trivia. He’d been on two, but never won anything substantial. Usually, Kevin needed a little adrenaline to kick-start that area of his memory. But that excitement also made him take dumb risks. Like putting betting all his points that Edelweiss was the Austrian national anthem.
Kevin wondered if there was any country where giving a gift card was a faux pas. Maybe in Argentina … He shrugged. It was definitely the wrong gift. Maybe he should just give a set of knives. They’d be practical. But so was the Bed Bath & Beyond gift card. And the knives could seem threatening. Maybe that’s why they were frowned upon in Argentina. The gift card felt like an empty gesture, but he couldn’t think of a better one.
