Wrapping up crimbo presents

[chrismpw]

For the record, Mrs W will only receive presents that are cuboid in future.

It's carnage here.

 

[chrismpw]

Oh and... Great site lads.

Like ironing shirts, wrapping is one of the few things that I am good at apparently*.


*I betleve the translation is, she hates the job so much that I can do it without her being so minded to point out any flaws in the job I do.

I did my present buying and wrapping early.
Back in June I wrapped a present for my Granddaughter and put it up in the loft. Just been up to take it out and . . . . . . . . .Oh dear!

It's a shame really because she would have loved that kitten.

Its simple. There are 3 shapes that should wrap each item out there. Cuboid, Spherical and the Christmas Cracker shape. As long as you can make that shape round your present then the problem is solved.

Its finding the end of the tape that is the issue. If you cut off small pieces for each present they end up stuck to the cat or to the table you stuck them to. Then when trying to free your tape pieces, the roll of tape absorbs the end again.

And That's before you even try to find the house scissors.

You can buy a roll of little sticky circles now so you don't have to worry about losing the end of the tape.

Revolutionised my wrapping overnight.

Can't use them in a Thailand lock-up though can you.

I'd probably use them to glue up my anus.

Cheers for that though.

I go to a female friend who actually takes real enjoyment from wrapping presents and all that jazz, provide her with wrapping paper and a good bottle of wine.

A few days later, I return to find all the presents wrapped, the wine consumed and nothing else is ever said. The missus still thinks I'm great at present wrapping!

Tin Foil.All done in 3 minutes.

I learned about the problem at a young age when me and my brother bought Mum a frying pan for Christmas. Ever tried wrapping a frying pan?

I think there’s more to that story than you’re letting on Phil, you auld rogue you!

 

[larbert toffee]

No but Quasimodo used to iron his shirts on a wok if that's any help.
