Thin paper also is a problem.

I could offer you a wrapping seminar, but it's really expensive. Have fun with the bags. ....you do coordinate your tissue don't you?

5. I like to wrap presents |
|
But this year, I can't afford to buy any! Yeah, wrapping gifts brings out my creativity. Perhaps I'll wrap some empty boxes just for the fun of it. :silly:

in years past i have had my secretary do it, but this year a buddy and i are taking my teenage sons to hooters and let them wrap the gifts for a dollar a gift with the dollar going to MDA. A worthy cause I think.

19. For a male, I'm decent |
|
At wrapping presents, but I never bother being too fussy about making sure my cuts are perfectly straight like my sister does. For the most part, only the top will be shown where there are no overlaps and tape, and when it is seen, it will be when the gift is flipped over and the paper ripped off, which happens in a split second.
By the way, I finished my Xmas shopping yesterday. Only had to go out once to any "big stores." Everything else was Ebay. :)

21. My seems are always at an edge |
|
Edges are always folded.
You would hate watching me unwrap a present. I do that just as carefully as I wrap them.

28. my cats like it way more than I do. They can rip all the paper they |
|
want and run away with the ribbon. They are a big help.
