Anybody else wrap presents like a blind, one-armed first grader. I'm bad with presents but I keep it under wraps.

Do what I do. Use lots of wrapping paper. It's more fun for the person opening the gift.

Find a chick and have her do it.

That is woman's work.

Looks like I wrapped that. The comment was made around my house that I'm one that knows about most things and can do just about anything ...but wrap gifts.

Daughter "no pics" asked me one year if I needed help wrapping gifts. I told her yes so she helped. Christmas Day she's opening presents and she says "hey I wrapped her own gifts."

As a carpenter it’s pretty easy on a sit down build. I just break out the old speed square and tape measure. Lol
Looks fine to me though if I’m the recipient.
Merry Christmas Pio.

Watch a YouTube video. Unless the gift is a really weird shape, it's not hard once you're shown how to do it.

I always wondered what these gifts were in Christmas Vacation since they all look the same.

Apparently it was a desk organizer that was popular at the time… I wondered too and went looking.

I was wrapping a birthday present for my GF once and a coworker kicked me off the task and finished wrapping.

Thanks. You just made me feel a whole hell of a lot better about my own wrapping.

My saying about wrapping is “if it looks like it was wrapped by a retarded T-Rex, I did it.”

Gender studies:

Beginning:

There are two.
Male and female.

The end.

I would advise the opposite. I think excess paper is the cause of most people’s misfortunes with giftwrapping.
