Awful. I often pay for giftwrapping just so it looks presentable.

i can string a few bars together with a simple rhyme scheme?
So horrifying that two 6 and 4 year old siblings offer to gift wrap for me. :biggrin:
got my flatmate something in amazon gift wrap and they thought i did it myself (didn't question) so probably quite good in their opinion.

If you are so unhappy with wrapping gifts by yourself, let do this in the shop by the staff. They are very good that you will not regret your trust.

I find it therapeutic

That's exactly what I just said I do!
Bad but I'm basically the only one in the house who does it so they have to put up with it lol
I mostly use tinfoil.
You don't need to faff with tape and you just crunch it round whatever needs wrapping. Also reusable for the Christmas lunch.
I haven't finished yet, but I've done the majority since I only buy for a couple friends and then my immediate family because im a broke student.

Planning on getting some done tomorrow or Friday actually and then the rest on Sunday with my mum as i need her help to get my dad and brother something because i hate buying for guys hahaha

For wrapping i ****ing love it i find it so therapeutic and relaxing its lovely. Always help my mum do it every year and help wrap everything except for my own gifts

Uups, that is a little mistake then! I read that you pay your money for gift-wrap or gift-wrapping paper just to wrap it by yourself! I am a foreigner whose English is not at this high level to realize the fine detail, so don't be so nasty to me.
I haven't wrapped anything before. Actually I can't even remember the last time I gave someone a gift...

I wasn't nasty to you.
Not that good. I usually end up using way too much sellotape.
i give myself one of the 'you tried' stars

Same :redface: have tried to use less in the last couple of years although it never seems to go to plan
I just feel a guilty and a but more concientous that sellotape is bad for the environment
