Libertine Posted 20 December 2006 Posted 20 December 2006 Nothing to do with Fezz's thread, but last night I wrapped a few presents and realised I'm ****ing terrible. I used to be quite good but I've lost my touch. Howzaboutyoo? Good or bad? Leave it to someone else?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 20 December 2006 Posted 20 December 2006 Nothing to do with Fezz's thread, but last night I wrapped a few presents and realised I'm ****ing terrible. I used to be quite good but I've lost my touch. Howzaboutyoo? Good or bad? Leave it to someone else? Cf: my thread. Our conversation was about how ****ing terrible I am at wrapping presents.

Scow Posted 20 December 2006 Posted 20 December 2006 I tried it once yesterday without success. Presents to be provided via carrier bags again, classy.
RowlattsFox Posted 20 December 2006 Posted 20 December 2006 im ok with dvds, cds or any kind of boxes but give me something else and it takes me ages and it takes bout a week to get into
lookwhaticando Posted 20 December 2006 Posted 20 December 2006 I tried it once yesterday without success. Presents to be provided via carrier bags again, classy. There's no need for wrapping paper... you tape it to the package, it gets torn up and thrown in the bin. Inefficient, I must say. If someone is coming to your house to open the gift, put a towel over it. All the surprise, none of the fuss. Sorted.
Nationwider Posted 21 December 2006 Posted 21 December 2006 Every single cocking year I vow to buy one of those Sellotape dispensers. Do I ever buy the bastard? No. I don't. Because every year I think "what a waste of money", and then I'm reduced to a dribbling, incontinent heap of unlessness by the stupid "tear/hold/scissors/need 6 hands/lose that nice fold/bugger/repeat etc" situation. Am I the only one in the universe who, unable to tear Sellotape with their teeth, instead gets a face full of the stuff. Pah!

Nationwider Posted 21 December 2006 Posted 21 December 2006 Cheer up, it's christmas Actually, I've had a terrible day. My exhaust fell to pieces and we've got no central heating or hot water. Sellotape is the least of my worries! It is Crimbo, though. Don't let the bells end, as they say!
Rincewind Posted 21 December 2006 Posted 21 December 2006 I think I'm Ok at wrapping but I'm usually moaned at because the person unwrapping cant unwrap it or at least has dificulty in doing so. Tape despensors are good. Used them all the time in my old job. My wrappings all done and presents delivered. Dont know when I'll get mine though.
cisono Posted 21 December 2006 Posted 21 December 2006 How about purchasing presents in Chrismas packaging? (ie shop packages them for us) Some retailers offer the service....
The People's Hero Posted 21 December 2006 Posted 21 December 2006 I did an amazing job on a birthday present a bit ago. It was a regular shaped box. I even scored the paper and everything. Did the bastard notice? Did he fu ck? And yeah - sellotape dispensers are a must. I don't have one either and have therefore 'removed' a layer of skin at least from my lips. Best Regards, Jimbleton IV

Best Regards, Jimbleton IV That would not happen if: - you used your teeth to make a little indent on the side, which makes tearing it easy (foolproof, lip-saving method). Failing that: - enlist someone's help!
Rincewind Posted 22 December 2006 Posted 22 December 2006 even better still. buy a tape dispenser. Set up a present wrapping buisness and employ a Pole to wrap them. This time next year you'll be a millionaire.
lookwhaticando Posted 22 December 2006 Posted 22 December 2006 Just get your sister to wrap 'em like i did And what about those of us with siblings more useless than ourselves?
lildave3 Posted 22 December 2006 Posted 22 December 2006 And what about those of us with siblings more useless than ourselves? Then you my friend, are screwed.
lookwhaticando Posted 23 December 2006 Posted 23 December 2006 Then you my friend, are screwed. Thanks man! Where would I be without you? I handed over a present this evening. Did I wrap it? Did I f/ck. When I purchased the item they said "would you like a bag?" I said "Yes, that'd probably do the trick" And so it was... gift, presented in a bag. Magical.
