The gift wrapping/gift bag option on Amazon has been a game changer for me. I'd imagine you could teach a dog how to wrap the damn gifts quicker than you could teach me how to do it so I avoid wrapping whenever and however I can.

I will go with a gift bag in a hurry.

All i have to do is drop the present in the bag and stuff colored paper over to cover the present.

A little Spray77 on the box, then sticking the paper to it is the GOAT.

Yep!

Whoever decided to start printing the grids on the back of wrapping paper has my eternal gratitude. I still can't wrap worth a darn, but that makes it so much easier to at least cut straight and somewhat measure.

If it’s a perfect square or rectangle I can do it. If it’s odd shaped then forget it.

My grandma taught me when I was 5 or 6 and I have been able to ever since. It really is simple

Only thing that sucked, is I had to wrap all of the presents my dad and brothers bought when we were younger and all still lived together.

ETA... whoever mentioned the grids on the back of the paper is 100% correct. Those were an absolute game changer.

Gift bag 100% I never liked wrapping for children because they tear thru it so quick. I spend 10 minutes wrapping this dam thing freaking loom at the awesomeness of this wrap before tearing thru.

My wife has banned me from wrapping presents.

Fine with me, I encourage you all to do the same.

yes

my wife makes me wrap a few, every xmas, so she can laugh at me, and it.

No matter how much measuring, mathematics, and figuring i do, it ends up like shite, and i'm taping half the package
