Not my favourite job, thought I was all done then remembered some more bits I had to get and had deliveries turned up that I'd forgot about, now I have another bunch to wrap

Pass the chocolate!

I love wrapping presents. I love making an inexpensive gift look more than it is all wrapped up in cellophane and proper florists now etc (but then I'm arty crafty out with here).

Urgh! It’s the same every year for me; I start off useless at it, get a bit worse in the middle and finish even more dismally.

There’s truly an art to wrapping….which I do not possess

I literally have hundreds of stuff to wrap, but keep putting it off. I am meeting a fellow Fabber tomorrow night - not for the first time - and I’m toying with the idea of inviting him to mine for a gift wrapping sesh

Do you think that would be ok if I plied him with food and wine?!

I think you need a trial run of his wrapping skills first!

What about when you lose the sellotape, find it, lose the scissors, find them then lose the pen?

Wrapping in newspaper and print stick glue is fun. Or Tin foil for smaller gifts is great and far more recyclable. Brown paper and string always traditional too. Where possible I try to at least hide, if not avoid, the sellotape.

Just think of a packet of chips then cover it with plenty of sellotape around around and around it goes

Having been the family gift wrap for years I thought I got away with doing no wrapping again this year as I had all the presents delivered to their home for them to wrap.

That was until my son came up with an idea of getting all his presents delivered here as I am home all the time. I now find the I am wrapping up my Ex husband and his girlfriend present.

I used to wrap for a Santas grotto. So can do wrapping with my eyes shut. This year my 18 year old said, she'd wrap for me. Been "taking her time" doing a few at a time. I got fidgety, as they we're not being done. I did them in 1 evening. 4 kids, so there we're a few.

I’m not really a fan of wrapping presents but when the scissors glide through the paper it does make it more tolerable.

I told my work colleague off yesterday because he said he doesn't bother to wrap his Mums presents, not that he's got her much anyway but he needs to put some effort in. All she does for him and he can't even wrap her presents. Gggrrrr
