Step 1: get paper
Wrassle unroll wrassle wrassle. Crumple. "Damnit!" wrassle wrassle
Step 2: get scissors
Cut cut… rip. "DAMN it!" Cut cut cut. Slap piece of tape over tear.
Step 3: fold and tape
Wrassle wrassle. Hold paper in place. Tear off tape. Crumple tape. Tear off another piece of tape. Tape. Wrassle "Hold still damn you!" wrassle. Fold paper. Fold again. Wow, this is taking a long time. More tape. And more tape. Almost done! Flip package over… too enthusiastic… aaaaand poke hole through gift wrap. "FUCK!"
Step 4: Start over
Repeat steps 1 – 3
Poke hole in paper again. Fume.
Step 5: Give gift to spouse to wrap. Of which gift will soon after appear suddenly and seemingly effortlessly wrapped. And it will look nice. Because there is always one of those people in every relationship.
(Oh wait, that person is me. HA Keen!)
– your loving wife, the weirdgirl
I’m just like your husband. Only I end up using a whole roll of tape to wrap one gift because it keeps twisting on me.
My wife gets all Martha Stewart on presents.
Hope you guys have a great holiday!

Gift bags are a Godsend.
I agree with VegasDad: gift bags are the way to go.
My Mom spends days and days wrapping each present and hanging ornaments and ribbons and tags from them. It exhausts me just to look at her packages. š
That is why I use gift bags.
We were originally trying to wrap the gift in the “Santa” paper – which turned out to be cheap and too thin. We quickly changed the giver to “Mom and Dad” so we could use the thick wrap.
I would have definitely put it in a bag if we’d had the right size. I noticed a dearth in extra large gift bags at the stores this year. What’s up with that?
just found your site.
