- appropriate - at least I've never had it refused.
Another thing that I perhaps should have mentioned is that it is unlikely that the gift will be opened while you are present. There is evidently too much of a risk that the recipient will display inappropriate feelings; a measured enthusiasm might be seen by the Gods as a sign of avarice/greed and lose you karma points but coolness might be seen as disappointment by the donor and therefore be offensive and you'll run the risk of getting a lesser gift next time.
The grand lose/lose situation. Best to do it alone.
