Hell... I would just find a bigger square box, put the funny size box in it, and wrap the bigger box

Unacceptable, Mister "Ooo, lookie at me I can wrap presents like a Superstar" Ming.

I want gazillions of crevasses, several feet of tape, and yards of wrapping paper used!

teh ghey Ming

he's on the "down low"

According to one poll only 30% of the US population prefer to receive presents. A whopping 39% are dreaming of cold hard cash and 19% favor gift certificates. That remaining 12% must be Grinches.

Have you tried using gift bags? All you do is pop the present in, cover it with tissue paper, then tie the handles together, et voila! You're done!

Your inability to wrap presents could reflect deep seated hostilities towards the recipients, or an over indulgence of alcohol or recreational substances.

My preferred gift packaging method

(you should see how awful I am at wrapping presents)

With the popularity of gift checks and cards, it can't be long before American gift giving follows the Asian method - cash in red envelopes.

Gift bags are nice but imagine if Ming was to use gift bags for his 120 gifts? At around 2.50 to 3.50 per bag

I have terrible fine motor control, everything I make with my hands looks like an example of what not to do. Thankfully I have a girlfriend who is good at wrapping and likes to do it. This year I fixed her computer for her wrapping my gifts.

Nice trade-off, Sikander!

Az - yeah I know. Anything cheaper and it's basically a supermarket brown bag.

That's ****ing ridiculous. I think there is plenty of money in this.

plastic bags in US - $2.50
plastic bags in Helsinki supermarkets - 0.20 e
I smell a business opportunity

It's not a simple plastic bag. it's crap like this:

Wrapping a box is easy. First cut six rectangles of paper, each equivalent to a side on the box. Then tape each piece to its corresponding size.

, I think I'll do that next year.
