Christmas wrapping challenged?

[big4life]

Who else is challenged when it comes to wrapping presents?

I am at the point where I pay people to wrap them if the store doesn't offer to do it.

Me too. Now I just really try to do a lousy job at wrapping gifts. Just slap that shit on there. Like it matters, it's what inside the box that matters who cares what the outside looks like. The paper will end up in a ball in about 2.5 seconds.

Try gift bags if it will fit. They sell them at dollar store it is really easy take tissue paper warp it around the gift then put it in the bag pretty easy and it looks nice.

I like the gift bag solution if possible...

Those tables setup in the mall with old nimble women doing it
for donations is a second choice..

LOL.. My Great Grandma used to very very carefully open her gifts
and fold and use the paper.. Took her like 15 min to open a pkg

I may not qualify for challenged...I am wrapping hopeless!!

I almost always pay the extra 3-7 bucks for gift wrap...

I'd be alright if I bought and wrapped one thing at a time. I usually wait untill I have every thing bought then wrap. My first one will be pretty good. By the time I get to the last one, I've turned a square box into a large wad of paper.

Barnes and nobles does the gift wrapping for free if you get stuff there. usually it is some group like girlscouts and the moms wrap it for a donation. I give like 1-5$$$ in the jar and it is usually good enough. also marshall feilds has free gift wrapping. I would be screwed to high heaven if I had to wrap gifts myself I would probably just put it in a bag and tape it shut and be like "here you go!" )

i just don't give gifts

That's what I do with things like stuffed toys for the little munchkins, but for anything in boxes I get them wrapped or wrestle with the wrapping paper.

Wal-Mart bags and Duck Tape works wonders...
