Something I have some to terms with.
I absolutely, positively and completely SUCK at wrapping presents.
If you have ever received one from me in the past, I apologize. Today’s victim is my business partner, Mary. It’s her birthday today (happy birthday Mary!). I had 3 goes before I finally threw in the towel and said it was: Good. Enough.
Lately I have taken to telling people that Declan helped me. That usually smooths things over.

I feel your pain and I have two words for you…GIFT BAGS!
Ha! I am sure people don’t care about the wrapping!
I know I know! But they are so $$$$!
Somehow I can’t imagine anyone complaining about how a gift is wrapped.
Person #1- “I got this wonderful photo and frame from Aimee, it is absolutely perfect.”
Person#2 “Oh it is beautiful, but did you see the wrapping job? For the love of GOD someone teach her how to fold the paper!”
person#1 “Word.”
Ok so I can imagine it, but it does sound kind of kooky.
It is the thought that counts, not the execution of the wrapping. -Socrates
Quoting Socrates. Nice touch. LMAO!
Costco – gift bags – assorted sizes, something like $15 for 20 of them and their cute.
I’m so with you on the wrapping. I never cut enough paper and the tape always shows. Kids are a fabulous excuse.
That would be “they’re” not “their” – says your idiot friend.
I love gman’s fake conversation. Too funny.
I stink, too.
You would never survive in my family, with my sister-in-law. http://crazybloggincanuck.blogspot.com/2006/11/wordless-wednesday-on-gift-wrapping.html
Sasdly, neither to I.
I do the gift bag thing, too. But I’m not sure how to use the tissue paper that is de rigeur with gift bags. It gets all crumply AND flat. Is there a support group out there?
Also I suck at estimating how much tinfoil to use for packets of potatoes on the barbeque. It must be some faulting wiring in my brain.
OMG – At least you have a child to ‘lend’ the creativity to! I have become a faithful, devoted user of gift bags. They have saved my sanity on more than one occasion. And don’t require tape. Tape gets me in trouble every time.
I am wrapping challenged as well. Buy the cheap, plain bags on sale at the craft store like 4 or 5 for $1 and then stamp some designs on them–homemade and NO wrapping!
NO GIFT BAGS and i can honestly say I have never used one…I will teach you how to wrap with some fun and cheap ideas. I could even teach a class on it….that is a good idea! I have a whole studio of wrapping paper, stickers, ribbon, and never have to buy anything.
Martha stewart just came out with a new line of stuff at Michael’s. Do you guys have those stores in Denver?
