How well do you wrap your other half's presents?

[patricks148]

Just done my wife's presents and stuck them under the tree, she was sitting there watching, took one look and said"I've had fish and chips wrapped better than those"

I have to say I suppassed myself this year a new low.😂

What about you guys?

Made a mistake many years ago of wrapping them too well, now I get to wrap all of the presents every year Think youre doing it right imo

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Terribly. That way she knows it is me doing it and not a professional in a shop, ha ha. I could probably do it a bit better but it is become a bit of a thing now.

So well and with so much tape it drives her mental. It's my Christmas morning guilty pleasure knowing that it does her nut in in retribution for being woken up so damn early

I ran out of Xmas wrapping paper, because she had used it all .Now her last minute pressie ( a CD she wanted ) is wrapped in brown paper. Ho ho ho.

 

[richart]

You wrap them ?

Going to be wrapping them shortly with my nine year old lad, the quality of wrapping will not be great.

 

[Fromtherough]

Wrap them in a 'cracker' effect. Always makes me chuckle on Christmas morning!

Presents? You buy presents? Madness.

Me am Rammel proper Rammel, but when was the last time Missis Patrick said the wrapping tasted better than the fish and chips. And there in lies the answer, when she opens her pressie and it is a nice bit of Ann summers underwear or a nice kitchen accessory. It is that what she will remember not the screwed up paper on the floor. 👍

She always has a wrapping colour scheme, and is very particular about wrapping,this year its silver. I've managed to use 7 different colours and one package ,two different types of paper😅😅

I wish, if got something from Ann Summers it would be more than my life was worth no matter how good the wrapping was....Chanel or nothing.

" wrapping colour scheme" eh hope to god Missis T don't read this and get any ideas. 😂

I will do my best but they look like a sack of spuds done up badly. Still it's what's inside that counts

I use bits of cardboard and plastic to make them odd shapes.

This year some wireless headphones are a packed out with a few nappies to feel different too. It's also about 3 feet long due to a plastic tube, looks banjo like!

Makes wrapping hard but her bemusement is funny.

Only been doing it on and off for a few years, isn't going to work for much longer.

Kitchen Accessory?.... as an Xmas present??? To right she will remember it and still be "remembering it" publicly at every family gathering until you are in your coffin.... and then for a few years after that!!!

This is is what I do. My wife can't resist feeling the presents pre-xmas day.
When we were first married 30 years ago she picked up her presents and went hmm ...... slippers ..... earrings....... perfume. All spot on. So every year now I wrap her pressies up with added weights, things that rattle, oversized boxes and odd shaped extras.
Our daughters have learnt to do the same as she is so bad at spoiling surprises.
I fully expect her to buy an x- ray machine at some point!
Also extra tape to slow down the opening is a guilty pleasure too.
