It suddenly was obvious.
"Presents!" John cried in a eureka moment. "I put it in a fancy box and give it as a present! No one will say no to that!"
Even though he weighed the possibility of it being denied, John went to work. He bought a small lipstick case and, to make it even more attractive, he put the entire thing inside a velvet box he had found at a vintage shop while browsing for items earlier in the day. He placed the lipstick inside, surrounded by some chocolates, flowers and beautifully coloured fabrics. For a touch of olfatory pleasure, he even put some delicious soaps from Lush. The result, he had to admit, would probably make him more money if he started selling them enmasse.
"Huh... I had forgotten I was good with this sort of thing." He mumbled, looking at the beautiful red velvet box and the neatly arranged items. Looking at it, he even felt slightly guilty at his creation. And at the same time ideas were going off in his head. However... he did need to test the lipstick... didn't he?
