Very nice. I got a little tripped up knowing if the two at the Christmas parties were at the same party, and thus gave the gift to each other.
Great teaser.. the two Christmas parties was a good but tricky hint. But then I realized that these were obviously two separate parties, and that Jack did not recieve a gift from Victor, so this eliminated a lot.
VERY WELL DONE! Keep them coming!

It's kinda weird to bring a whole computer to a restaurant, but I did like the puzzle
I've tried this puzzle several times and I still can't get the guy to guy gifts right. I can't see how we should determine that there were two Christmas parties. I keep falling into the trap of deciding there is only one. I wonder if I am missing something by not being a US citizen and missing some significance to the term, "best bud" or something like that.
Oh well, I'll try again in another couple of months when I have forgotten the steps I took this time, and I will come to it fresh. I won't let it defeat me!
