Time to wrap presents :( - Niall - 22-12-2011

Ok so let's be honest, we don't enjoy wrapping presents but it's got to be done.
Started wrapping the girlfriends presents and all was going well. I'm not the best with a pair of scissors but as I'm sure you will agree, is isn't a bad bit of wrapping!

Unfortunately at last minute, disaster struck and a fatal paper failure occurred through my fault and only my fault!

Being short of paper and having a lack of what some would call, caring, I couldn't redo the wrapping so I had to look at repairing the structural element of the paper and this meant there was only one material for the job!

As you can see, the present is now secure, and free from paper failure....and probably being free from being opened!

Do you remember me saying I was short on paper? Well I was left in a tricky situation with one present still unwrapped and with a serious case of what I would call 'can't be arsed', there was no chance of me venturing out of my house for wrapping paper. I did however make light of the situation!
Being the keen Eco warrior that I am, Im always looking at ways to save the planet and this does mean re using instead of binning so for this present, I simply used the carrier bag that I was presented with when I bought the present.

The downside is, carrier bags arnt very secretive (I've tried telling one a secret once and it told all of its mates. Little fucker!). So out come the repair material and....job done!

If I'm honest, there is absolutely no point to this thread but your more than welcome to guess what the presents are!

Im still making my way through rolls of poundland 3 for a quid wrapping paper I bought 5 years ago and I rarely have a problem with it. gonna be seriously gutted when I have to buy new stuff in a couple of years. My 5 year old bows and ribbons are starting to loose their stick though

Sometimes you have to sacrifice some man points if it means you get pussy points later.

Good effort!


Re: Time to wrap presents :( - MrsMidnight - 23-12-2011

Simple solution - Wake up early, dress up in a little something, tie a bow around myself, wake up danny and give him a special christmas surprise! Wink


Or online shopping and click the gift wrap button (Y)

Fooking Win!

Wish my missus would do this.

Want a perfect way to get presents wrapped? Do what I did, dump all my presents at my mams and remind her she owes me 900 quid Wink

If I did that to my old girl, she would back hand me and tell me to f*ck off!


Re: Time to wrap presents :( - Poodle - 24-12-2011

Bahahaha that's rad! Same as dum-dum, i'm still on the 3-for-a-£1 stuff I bought 5 years ago.

And you're all missing a trick btw....

While the missus is out, get out all the presents and paper, scatter some pretty, sparkly bits, tape and scissors across the floor and half wrap one present. Wander off to find beer and wait for missus to arrive. When she comes through the door and starts making excited noises, spout something like the following: "I forgot how much you love making presents all pretty, you can do it if you want. In fact, i'll go one better; you get on, i'll make you a drink...."

Now I have double pussy points and still don't have to wrap anything (apart from her presents lol) heheh heh. Tongue
