This one is a bit to vague. There are no facts to nail anything down. It is good in theory, but too hard to solve.
It's not actually that difficult if you look at it. You start with who isn't giving things. Like for example, the first clue tells you that the green wrapping was given by either Nick or Chris so you can cross off the other guys names. You can also x off the girls other than Amy and Stephanie for the green wrapping. As you go through, there'll only be one option left open and then you can check it off.
I got this at first sitting (before I read the comments), but it took a long time! It must have been very difficult to construct this one(?)Very enjoyable!
This looked tricky at first, but it actually wasn't... I really like this one, great job!
By the way, all of your LGs are amazing!
I started and did everything carefully but something didn't work out. I gave up for the time being. I'll try again later, but I'm sure it's easy once I stop overthinking.
Oh, ok. I get it now! Thanks for the help! Good one!
It took me longer to figure out how to come up with an answer than it did to solve it when I once hooked up with the first answer. Good job.
Great teaser! I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I don't use the grid so it would have been nice if the final gift of perfume were mentioned somewhere in the body of the teaser.

I thought this looked impossible! But once I figured out which guy was paired up with which girl the rest of the stuff sort of fell into place by process of elimination. It was a ton of fun!!! Good Job!!!
What an unusual and fun way to write a logic grid! Thanks so much. I really enjoyed doing this one. Keep 'em coming.
Once I read the help-comment from rubytuesday, I began to enjoy the puzzle. It just didn't occur to me until then to find the answers completely through elimination.
Loved it. Worked smoothly through elimination. Had to make several passes through the clues to work it out, but got it the first try.
Nice teaser, I mixed up two of them, but it's probably because I read the clue in the wrong way..
tough teaser for me but great for someone else but great job
I actually got this one really quickly. You just have to pay very careful attention to the wording of the clues. good job!
The ones like this always start out being the most confusing but are usually the ones I end up liking the best because they make my brain work. At first you think it's impossible and then you realize it's not!
I liked this one! Two thumbs up!
This LG was fantastic! Lets hope there are more like this to come
this one was way to hard didnt like all that "either or"
I don't know if this made any difference, but I worked it from the last clue backwards to the top and it seemed pretty easy. Fun!
Loved it - one of the best I've seen here.
I agree with the consensus, it is straightforward if you use the clues to eliminate those possibilities that are incorrect. It's nice to see an original approach like this.
