is everyone else as rubbish as me at this??
Is only females who can make a decent job of it??
What ever I do it always looks like crap. Have to find boxes to put things in just so everything is square so i stand half a chance. Either get too much paper or not enough. Then things end up with more tape then paper.
All this effort for it to be ripped off and chucked away.

My missus has done loads of wrapping this xmas and not one chart success Then there's Eminem he's a very gifted wrapper. I will ask him to come from Crenshaw (or wherever) and wrap for us next year.

Talking of wrapping pressies, is it just me, or does anyone else colour co-ordinate their wrapping ie mum gets one type of paper, dad gets another, kids get their own paper etc etc

Or do I have some Xmas OCD tendencies ?

OCD

I pay the extra in the shops or get my step daughter to wrap them for me.

W H Smith do wrapping paper with a cutting grid on the reverse. Makes it so much easier.

Now that would have made things easier.

To be honest don`t think drinking beer whist doing it has helped much

Alas

I was getting the wifes present wrapped in the shops today. Very attractive young lady who was doing the wrapping and making the usual inane small talk.

Then she dropped the bow thing and bent over to pick it up. Jeez - I nearly bought something else in the hope she would do it again

I tried that once, but all presents got wrapped inside out

The secret is to do it as bad as possible then they don't ask you to do it again lol! I scrunch the paper around the present then wrap loads of cellotape around the outside!

And don't forget to nick one of those proper selotape dispensers from work

try wrappng a hammer didn't help i was about 10 at the time!

but nope, still can't wrap properly maybe putting everything in boxes is the key

Only tape we have at work is packing tape.

MrsD wraps all the presents I buy, except her own, The stepdaughter wraps them for me

It's called conditioning
If you deliberately do a job badly enough, often enough, a woman can't help but take it off you
