*fiddles about with wrapping paper, trying to get it neatly wrapped around an odd shapped object*


This is not going well



*tries to bite off some tape and gets it tangled around his fingers*





*tries again and it sticks to the wrong bit ot the pulls it off and rips the paper *


*tries agains and rips the paper again *



*gives up and pops it in a box*

*sigh*

That is why you should buy ready wrapped presents.

...or nice fancy bags

or go to the store and get someone else to wrap it...

*blinks*


they don't wrap in tescos

...well...how about in regular wrapping paper...*gasp* you mean the big american shopping franchises haven gotten greedier and spread worldwide...like whoever owns JC Penny's or Sears...probably the same company actually...

You must know someone who can wrap presents, I always make my sister do mine.

I've put it in a pretty box now

My friend's idea of taping a gift closely resembles shrinkwrapping.

maybe thats what I should've done

you could wrap it in a lot of celophane and then apply heat...that's basically shink wrap...that'll be a laugh watching someone try and open it...

As long as you don't shrink wrap yourself in the process.

hmm.. could Cal be trusted with it?

Put it in a box THEN wrap it up

I love wrapping pressies and making them look pretty Mind you if its a difficult shape then box first is definitely good - or pretty home made and decorated bags should not be discounted!

What was the pressie

And who is it for?

It was for my friends dad who is 60 today and it was a memory card for his new camera

everyone knows you use packing tape to tape gifts....right?

Depends on what you are taping the gift to...

no just, one christmas i ran out of sctoch tape so i used packing tape.
