Bum wrap: Shoddy Goods 023
0Do you wrap your Christmas presents? I still do for close family (ie, things that’ll be under the tree) but it’s pretty much gift bags for anything else.
If so, are you any good at it? I often start out feeling like I’ve finally got this locked down, but then I get some wonky shaped object and it’s just a mess of scraps of paper and a ton of tape.

I used to think I was crap at wrapping presents. I used to sometimes make a joke of it, wrapping things extra terrible as a laugh because I couldn’t do it well.
Then when I finally used some quality wrapping paper I realized… I can wrap fairly well with good paper. My problem all along is that I’ve always bought the cheapest paper and it makes a huge difference.
I wrap some, shirtbox some things, and gift bags others. Yes, we’re a reuse gift bag family, so kids, give us your bags back… You’ll see them again next year.
Don’t wrap anymore
Used to make my own bows, and do unusual wrapping with multiple papers and assorted stuff.
Now, don’t even use gift bags sometimes, it depends, I like baskets when I can recycle ones
Wrapping in cloth, when it is not wasteful is really fun
