With regards to wrapping Christmas gifts; I have taken great care in the past, learned various techniques, using a minimal amount of tape, learning the art of bow making etc…

Various compliments were thrown my way, but, that couldn’t inspire me this year. This years gift wrapping has been a bit haphazard and uninspired with no thought or care given to paper colour choices, ribbon widths or bow size.

I have one more gift to wrap, I’m gonna pull myself together and make it count.

I don’t fuck with wrapping paper. I give the first one or two some effort, all the rest get thrown on the wrapping paper then wrapped as quickly and crookedly as possible

Some gifts even just go in those little gift boxes with the fake ribbon glued to the top

  Wrapping gifts is an art form. Many people might brush the off the idea as a useless endeavor because the result doesn’t last long and is ultimately destroyed.
  
  I happen to take pride in the craft. This is a gift to myself.

    I do too. Anticipation is so important. 🙂

    If I’ve wrapped a gift for anyone, it means I REALLY like them and value them. And then i will do a decent job of it. Everyone else gets a repurchased bag

    I don’t brush it off, I just don’t have the skill or patience to bother with it past 1 or 2
