Gift wrapping gripes

[jeffrefrig]

Okay, so today I finished shopping. I got all the presents in one place. I found wrapping paper, but the only tape here is packing tape. It doesn't cut with a finger like other tape, and the dispenser is broken. I found a roll of duct tape and some masking tape. After three beers now, I chose the masking tape. Can't find the scissors, so thank goodness for a sharp knife. Two more beers. I found the band-aids. I have about 2 1/2 hours before wife gets home. One more beer. I remembered I have about two inches left in my Yukon Jack bottle in the freezer. Two gulps, gone. Two more beers. Thank goodness with wrapping boxes with designs on them so you don't have to wrap the big stuff. Three things wrapped, I used Happy Birthday paper! More beers. Daisy wants one, too. She gets a sip. Got seven wrapped, realized I didn't tag anything.
Oh, well; Merry Christmas!
Thank goodness I don't "smoke."

I would have wrapped the whole thing in Duct tape, make them work for it.[emoji16]

I'm still waiting for someone to invent spray on wrapping paper.

Wrapping gifts is now a thing of the past for me. My grand kids are both adults now and everyone on my list gets a card with money in it. Hey, the color is right and one size fits all.

 

[Salty RI]

The color is always right it's those numbers in the corners their interested in. [emoji3]

I like ice in my beer and sometimes some salt.

And that is why I use decorative gift bags with colored tissue paper, or order something and select the gift wrap option.

My sister, on the other hand, can wrap a gift so securely you almost need an engineering degree to get it open.

I've got a bunch of gifts I've not wrapped yet.

My son and granddaughter are much more interested in the goods than the presentation, so any wrapping is mostly for me and my very dated notions of the holidays.

I may stick everything in one box for each recipient to minimize my gift wrapping labor.

I bought a M&P 380 EZ for my stepdaughter. Of course I had to play with it the last couple weeks. I wonder now whether I removed all the cartridges!
(Nah, I'm not that dumb! She can buy her own!!) I got done in record time. Oh, Rustoleum makes great wrapping stuff! That Spray Seal stuff that guy puts on his screen door boat would be fun, too, but it would cost a fortune!

I did that to my kids one year. They were NOT happy about it.

A few of us are just skipping it this year [emoji33]
I've told them that July works [emoji38]
The reactions of a few others are interesting!

That's what I did for my youngest nephew. But to make it something special and unique I filled the money card with a stack of $2 bills.

No gold dollars...?

I use the bag it came in and a length of baling twine.

I've not wrapped Christmas presents in years. The local high school cheer leading squad does an annual "Gift Wrapping Fundraiser" for their team every year the Saturday before Christmas. They charge a nominal fee and do 'em up very nice. Usually costs me less than $10 each year and I've not used a single cuss word on gift wrapping since I started letting these young ladies do the wrapping.

Bought the wife a patio chair rocker.
Difficult to hide and harder to wrap I gave it to her couple hours ago.
Everything else gets stuffed in the stocking.
