Wrapping Presents

How I envy those people, usually on telly, who manage to wrap presents so beautifully, who never end up with sticky tape everywhere but where its wanted, who can even use double sided tape without it having double the oportunity to misbehave. Those people who can cut wrapping paper neatly, who's scissors never jump and make a jaggy bit that goes off at a different angle. How do they get ribbon to stay put and not come undone? How do they get bows and things to stick to the present it put on and not come off in the drawer where they're stored until the big day, mine end up either in the bottom of the drawer or all stuck to one present!

Still at least I can do a good roast potato and sublime bread sauce!

  • I feel your pain I hate wrapping presents !! Usually I take my presents to my mum and get her to wrap them but I live too far away for that to be convenient now !! So instead of just buying loads of gift bags I’m going to make an effort to try to wrap presents again. I‘m terrible but the only way better is to do. I was speaking to a colleague who loves wrapping presents and once applied to be a gift wrapper she liked it so much.
