My Gift Wrapping

[Deleted]

MUDSIE!!! I found you on YOU TUBE!

It's really not that hard MU if you have good paper, and good hand to eye coordination.

[The J]

it's what girl scouts are for.

They have these amazing things called gift bags. Buy some
and a little tissue paper and no wrapping, scotch tape needed.

I was all thumbs.

There's your first problem..which probably also explains your twist-tie/plastic wrap dilemmas of the past.
Most people have only 2 thumbs (usually opposing thumbs not the kind primates have) and 8 fingers.

And everyone knows that the easiest solution is to use gift bags - no wrapping - no tape - no problem. Open bag - place gift inside. Done.

[jan]

Actually, it is pretty easy for me, and I enjoy it.

Two words of advice: Gift Bags

[jan]

Okay, gift bags are easy, but the do require the proper use of tissue paper. Wanna bet MU can't do that either?

When working at Macy's years ago I had to cover for the gift wrap dept. lunch breaks. I wasn't the best and some of the women mostly said "umm...I want her to wrap my gift please if you don't mind." The guys didn't have a problem. But they are all paying customers so sure I can only get better with practice at your expanse - LOL

A gift card in an envelope is even easier than a gift bag.

I have a sneaking suspicion, though, you'd get a paper cut licking the envelope shut.

It's what Mich is for.

One of my engineers got married so I dropped off her Wedding present. When I got the thankyou card she noted Mich must have done the wrapping. And she was right.

[jan]

Actually TD, I wrap for a lot of other people as well.

[TD2K]

Ooooo, I could so use you

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

but they do require the proper use of tissue paper. Wanna bet MU can't do that either?

Oh, Jan - you had to ask?

The tissue paper sheets come folded in a cellophane pack. First he'd have to get that pack open....you can see where I'm going here........

Then comes separating each sheet of tissue paper. He's all thumbs, remember? this could be another daunting task.

Opening the bag to place gift inside? I'm sure there's obstacles he'd fail to overcome there too - paper cuts perhaps??

Maybe he should just stay home, curl up in the fetal position and sleep til Sunday

[The J]

I'm pretty sure that the MuscleUp knows how to use tissue paper. Just not for wrapping presents

[TD2K]

It would be fun to give MU a roll of fly paper and tell him it's wrapping paper.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

You don't think that the name "Fly Paper" might confuse him? ...he'd think it was for repairing his pants. And again, it probably has that plastic wrap around it that he'd have to open. It's a vicious cycle.

. . o O (Some people don't know how to festively stuff tissue into a gift bag??)

[jan]

Tissue paper is your friend, as long as you remember to separate the sheets.

[jan]

MU, please tell me there are pictures.

[jan]

Tripod? Auto focus? Auto advance camera?

I only shop in stores that have gift wrapping depts. I don't care if I have to pay, as long as they wrap it!!! I did make a trek to the mall, and some entreprenuer had set up a gift rap kiosk. I was glad to see that!
