Deuce 1 #1 December 20, 2002 Wrapping presents. I don't mean that my wrap jobs are less than perfect. I mean a present wrapped by me is an astonishingly, aggressively, in-your-face-obviously-wrapped-by-a-man BADLY wrapped. It's still lots of fun, but compared to the origami creations that most women I know create, with neatly folded corners, and creased ends, they're funny to look at. MAN-WRAPPED! YEEE-HAW! Merry Christmas! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #2 December 20, 2002 haha! Yeah... and who actually buys ribbons and bows and shit? Buy name tags? phhht... take that extra scrap of paper (because you know we have a ton - sure, we can eyeball the living room and re-arrange the entire entertainment system and have it all fit perfect, but make the most efficient use of wrapping paper? HA!) cut a little square, fold it in half, write their name on on the inside of it, and there ya go.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobsled92 0 #3 December 20, 2002 You'll hate me.When I give a special gift or jewelry, I wrap the box and lid separately and create a scene like a window display inside. Yep! fake snow, hand made confetti, props the whole bit. Simple box style wrap just take your fingers together like a giving a pinch("monkey bite" style) and make the corners look straight edged by running the pinch down the side cornersI admit I wrap in 2 modes: 1> "The Window at Tiffiny's"2>"11th hour Body Bag Rush!"---This year is easy, no gifts= no wrapping. _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,584 #5 December 20, 2002 They make those gift bags in a LOT of sizes. Yes, it's more expensive, but you can re-use them, and they make it amazingly easy. You can get discounted ones at the dollar store. I love to wrap presents, but I always keep a supply of the bags on hand too.

tigra 0 #19 December 20, 2002 My guy is MUCH better at it than me. (must be his military background or something!) Its funny, because the stuff I wrap is always a mess, but everyone assumes HE did it, and I get credit for the neat pretty packages!maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mujie96 0 #20 December 20, 2002 Ahh, you are bad at wrapping presents but when I finished my family Christmas shopping yesterday, the power went out while I was in line at the store. Now I must go brave the insanity of the 5-days-before-Christmas crowd. Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
