Males = negative (unless smoking pole)

Females = typically yes

I'm the fat white guy version of Martha Stewart when it comes to wrapping presents. I'm not proud of it.

gift wrapping is one of those things I try every couple of years, thinking "shite I'm smart, I'll just pay attention this time and I'll be able to do this well."

Nope. Horrendous. One of the few things I've actually put my mind to that I really can't do at all.

Those gift bags are a lifesaver for me. Stick the gift in, wad up some tissue paper to go on top, and you're done.

Hell no. That's why Scruffy gets gifts that can fit in bags. If they are too big to fit in the bag, he'll tape the bag to the side of the present.

Former gf taught me how to do it. I can do a decent job of it but it takes forever. My policy is to not buy gifts from places unless they offer gift wrapping.

I'm pretty decent at it, only because my mom made me wrap presents years ago. My wife is horrible at it and always does gift bags.

I generally start a week before christmas while watching TV and drinking beer. Don't mind it at all.

Hell no, I either get my GF to do it or I pay someone at the mall.

Why? That's what I have a wife for. And a daughter to wrap Mrs Cove's gifts. I used to use my admin to wrap them, but it is less of a hassle getting them all done at home. And the admin doesn't get all jealous now. I'm a man, I have better things to do with my time.

This is me. I used to help my mom when I was kid. Now, give me something cylinder shaped or one of those toys that's in a partially exposed box and I'm fricked. That stuff goes in a gift bag.

Usually if I look pathetic enough for long enough some girl will show up and take over. The same tactic usually works for ironing.

I'm ok at it, usually comes out in the shape of the box.



This is usually what it tends to look like when I'm done.
