How to say 'because gifts are small parcels of suprises- you don't know what's in them'

Question

I've started, but don't know how to conclude. 'Porque regalos son parcelas pequeno de sopresas'

"pequeños" You need a tilde there. - --Mariana--, DIC 4, 2009

You should use "paquetes" because "parcelas" usually refers to a parcel of land. - --Mariana--, DIC 4, 2009

thanks- the thing is that I don't know how to insert a tilde. - Seb79, DIC 4, 2009

At the bottom of the box where you write your question/answers there are the accents and tildes that you need. - --Mariana--, DIC 4, 2009

it's Surprises and Sorpresas - 003487d6, DIC 4, 2009

Answer 1

....no sabe que está adentro (you don't know what's inside).

Answer 2

Thanks Marianne- I appreciate it. You're truly a 13k superstar!

Answer 3

Or you can use the classical Forrest Gump clause: "La vida es como una caja de bombones, nunca sabes lo que te va a tocar" if you wanna say it with a funny tone or nuance!!! xD Don't use it if you're trying to sound philosophical! haha

Answer 4

Ok then.....this is with what Marianne suggested:

'Porque regalos son paquetes pequeñeos de sopresas'

striker- thanks for the Forest Gump reference- very funny!

In all seriousness though, I don't want to sound philosophical but say this in the context of a happy occasion (Christmas).

But I don't know how to continue.
