A hostess trolley. Very 1960s for me.

I am far to informal for that sort of home dining.

The worst thing was the build up to this amazing surprise with people gathered round all waiting for my enthusiastic and ecstatic reaction.

Fortunately it was 'amazing', 'unbelievable'.

I have never done this with a present before but I used it once when my generous givers came for dinner and then sold it. I still feel guilty now, but I knew I would never use it.
