Wrapping Christmas Presents

[+ poolboy48220]

I tried once or twice, wrapping the lid separately and closing with a ribbon that could be untied. They still ripped it open.

It would be faster and easier to grow a tree from a seed, chop it down, mill it into paper, process it into wrapping paper, and pay somebody to wrap your presents for you.

 

 

I might try it. I've always had a thing for folding.

I used to spend hours elaborately wrapping gifts. I found that it only made other gift givers feel inferior about their wrapping skills. Plus it took hours and people would rip open the gifts in seconds often without any comment about the wrapping. I eventually toned it all down.

 

 

You have to remember who you're doing it for. I have a friend who loves presenting others with beautifully wrapped gifts-to the extent that he has a room in his house devoted to gift wrapping and the supplies therefor.

I once bought a guest gift for a Japanese Hostess. This one was simple compared to what the little old lady did for me after the 10 minute interview about both parties.

 

I used to do origami (and macrame) in my 20’s and can fully appreciate the beauty of the end result plus the time that these types of folds require. Japanese have a special way of doing things.

On the original (not the reboot) Will and Grace, didn't Will and Jack turn Grace's room into a wrapping workroom when she moved out at one point?

I think I remember something like that. This friend of mine actually has one. He may even have got the idea from the TV show. He was a junior high school art teacher, after which he was a merchandising executive with a high-end department store. Now he is retired and paints and is actually achieving some recognition in the region.
