    I like to do it, but I'm terrible at it. Making fun of my bad wrapping is kind of a Christmas tradition in my family now. :)

    AWWW....that's sweet and endearing!! :D A tiny tip, though, it's all about folding over the paper so the cuts don't show and the paper is straight. (Did that make any sense whatsoever?)

    the folding of the paper is also a great time saver if the paper is a bit bigger then needed.

    So true. And, also...another tip...when using bags it looks good to have printed tissue paper and...oh hell nevermind...it's too hard to explain and no one really cares anyways! :D

    bags are great but for some reason I still wrap some things inside of the bag. Usually it's the oddly shaped things that get wrapped in tissue paper...other items get regular wrapping paper and they all go into a bag for each person.
    Wrapping is FUN!

    I love it if everything is square or rectangular.

    I have this problem. I'm a lazy perfectionist. I get really frustrated sometimes.

    Yeah, I always wrap the stuff in bags in tissue. And, wrapping sucks.

    I love it!! :):);)

    I usually don't mind it. I put some music on, pour a glass or two of wine and wrap away. I spent three hours wrapping presents yesterday. The rest of the presents are going in gift bags! :p
