i hate rapping cos i'm shi** at it , can't get the words to rhyme !!

ajm

you are not alone!

Tip: roll up the present in wrapping paper, then twist each end into a kind of cracker - job done! Works for all shapes of present too!

scoob_babe

nope, can't iron and my gift-wrapping is usually 98% tape holding it together!

I can't wrap up that well, and really dislike doing it, as if I'm doing it I want to make a good job of it, and I can't. Tis why I usually pay the little extra to get a shop to do it. however, there are some things I will wrap, as it does add a little loving touch <cue the puking due to the mush >

Best way to wrap a present is to wrap it up in normal paper first and then use clear sticky backed plastic to protect wrapping paper.

Voila Armour plated presents

We did a 'Secret Santa' thing in our office. When the recipient of my gift was unwrapping it, two or three girls in the office all said (pretty much simultaneously), "I bet that one was wrapped by a bloke". Sigh... yeah, apparently it is a bloke thing.

I was forced to learn how to wrap presents properly by my girlfriend who was sick of getting the same shoddy wrapping from me for years. The secret is in getting the corners. Once the main bits done, turn to your first end and push the middle of one side of paper so that it is flat with the sides of the box, then do the other side this will give you 2 neat triangles, one a t the top, one at the bottom. Once you have 2 triangles. fold the bottom one to the middle and put it flat against the prezzie then fold the other triangle on top of that to make it look pretty (does this make sense?!?) Voila, perfect corners. I should add pics but I cant be arsed.

So u muppets who thought you were cool saying "the missus does mine". Who the f*ck wraps your missus pressies then?

Either their sisters or mothers. That's who wraps up my gift for 'her indoors'.

And yes, men are genetically incapable of wrapping stuff up.

I'm dreading wrapping the old mans present up, it's a massive picture, I'll run out of paper half way through

Markus

Neil, ooh, nice idea, bit sadistic though, but I like it.

My fave was to smile sweetly and then when asked "where is my present?" hand over an envelope with money or gift vouchers in and then say "it's in the shop!"

FASTER MIKE!!

Im ok but hate wrapping anything like cuddly toys or bottles. Even straight square stuff my edges never seem to be neat. Cheated a bit this year and made little boxes to a) disguise shape and b) make em easier to wrap

Si.
