Hoping there’s a kiosk or something at the nearby shopping centre doing gift wrapping for valentines day for like a 1 dollar donation or something
Does this guide help at all? m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfn5Ybglcnw&pp=0gcJCUABo7Vq…
When you buy items you could try and request they do it, some shops offer that service but idk which.
Otherwise there’s always the good old gift bag or putting stuff in a mug and tying it in a gathered cellophane sack with a ribbon.
I bought some Reject Shop wrapping paper and did it at work. Someone else could have done it nicer but it has turned out alright
Nice.

You have to be kidding. Even the paper costs a bundle nowadays. And gift wrapping is a fairly skilled art, even with squared paper, good cutting tools and good ribbon skills. I used to do Myer xmas wrapping temp jobs for a few years- it was a madhouse and extremely stressful. Even a charity would have to charge for the paper and ribbon etc. to make any money at all.

There was a place in The Block? arcade doing gold coin xmas wrapping last year. My mate got all (x17) his family presents wrapped there for $20.

My girlfriend and I did it one time. I don’t remember how much it cost though because hardly anyone came. It’s not like it was the Christmas period for wrapping presents
