    I'm an expert at wrapping presents! I just pay a bit extra at the time of purchase and the gifts look great. Otherwise, I might as well leave them in the bag they left the store in!

    I'll go along with RT. While some may say
    wrapping gifts is so easy a caveman can
    do it...... I disagree.......

    A bad wrapping job proves that you've taken the time to do it yourself. It's a sign of care and attention

    For years I've survived on "Christmas Bags" which came in a variety of sizes. They were especially handy for those odd shaped items. Stick in the gift, seal up the end, stick on a bow...instant present. They came in festive patterns and were handier than a self-honing razor! Well, the supply ran out.

    My wrapping is strictly functional, i.e. it covers the object so you can't see it. I have been known to wrap christmas presents in 'happy birthday' paper without noticing, well I guess it shows an individual touch.

    I and I don't go for fancy swing tags either, a medium permanent black marker pen is perfectly adequate.

    And I thought this was going to be a post about "wrap" music. Go figure!

    Birthday paper is appropriate.
