For a product design, I had a client suggest wrapping the entire thing in custom branded Christmas wrapping paper (this was in the summer, no actual relations to Christmas)... these were the words from the clients mouth: "...every time they open one, it will be as if it is Christmas. People will love that."
Needless to say, I was at a loss for words (and finding it very difficult to maintain a professional composure).
After an awkward extended pause of probably 45 seconds (but what seemed like 1 hour), I just said: "uhm...no" and immediately shifted the conversation to something different about the product.The Christmas wrapping paper idea was never discussed again.
