Wrapping Christmas presents - Page 4

No. I insist. He wraps them up with like a roll of selotape and when they try and open it they cant cos he has selotaped up all the corners so you have to get scissors and cut through it

he thinks this is so hillarious but honestly I just want to throw my present at him and knock him out!!!!!!!!

I enjoy wrapping, and have a whole box full of paper and bits. I usually like to coordinate pressent's.

I insist on wrapping the gifts, otherwise they would end up in tinfoil.

I remember one year my brother stuck a £50 note to a brick with an elastic band, put it in a bucket, and wrapped the whole thing in tinfoil

Last year I was guilty of buying nearly everyone books because they looked neat and lovely under the tree

to be fair, they were cool books.

Yup he tries to get me too. Apart from my presents he hasn't asked me to wrap my own... yet

I always insist we do it together though but somehow I end up wrapping most of them. Bloody men!

Oh yes it's a must for me, he doesn't make me wrap them but i know if i left OH to wrap anything he'd just leave it in the bag from the store he got it from, price and reciept still inside too..

also I LOVE wrapping so i'd happily do it

!

plus most of the time he gets stupid shaped presents to give me a challenge

I love wrapping! I do my o/h family because he's not interested but i do insist he wraps mine! I even do my brothers wrapping for his g/f's prezzies because i enjoy it and otherwise he'd probably not bother and thats just awful!! xx

I do all the wrapping except for my own present, unless I was with him when he bought it. I do it not because he makes me but rather I have more time for it as I have a 4 day work week and he has a 5 day.
