I keep presents and cards to one side, to only be opened on my birthday, even if I know what is in them. I have certain friends that this drives round the twist because they can't help from exclaiming that I could at least open the card! It's a holdover from being a kid when cards and presents were opened after school (if my birthday was on a weekday) or after breakfast (if my birthday was on a weekend).
