    I wrap about as well as I write left-handed. It's pretty sad.

    Steve, my first thought was a spray on for men. Kinda like spray on tan or something. I was gonna ask if it was edible. Guess I am a little more perverted than the others that posted in this thread! lol

    Me, too - I was wondering why men need to be giftwrapped.

    I actually don't mind giftwrapping (and I am left handed, vis-a-vis post #6, with typically awful penmanship)... it's something of a challenge when the package isnt' rectilinear.

    Better be careful. Some women like to exchange their gift for something they really like.

    I spend one xmas season at a boy scout stand in the mall raising money gift
    wrapping for donations. I can wrap with the best of them now.

    I just use the good old "I'm on a fixed income and couldn't afford to get you anything" routine.

    Works every time. :cheesygrin:

    It doesn't have to be pretty. Tape is your best friend.

    My parents used to put all of our presents in a trash bag. Xmas lasting a whopping 15 seconds to under the yellow tie and you dumped the bag on the floor. Then, the trash bag doubled as, you guessed it, a trash bag. AWESOME!
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!
