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.

Ha! I am sure people don’t care about the wrapping!
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.
I love gman’s fake conversation. Too funny.
I stink, too.
I feel your pain and I have two words for you…GIFT BAGS!
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!
That would be “they’re” not “their” – says your idiot friend.
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.
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.
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?
