Cheap paper makes it worse/difficult.

It's not hard at all, least for rectangular/square objects. Although I used to think it was.

Aaaaah, i missed out on my festive fail this year, 'cos my mum decided that she loved wrapping things, so we all just offloaded everything onto her, and for some reason she really enjoyed it

I generally find that women are better at it then men, well thats the excuse I give when I'm asked to wrap

I'm pretty good at wrapping square/rectangular objects (DVD's/CD's/Game's) but when it comes to anything complicated I'm stumped.

Its easy.

1. Buy 5 times the amount you actually need.
2. Buy about 10 rolls of tape.
3. Make the usual mess of wrapping, but use so much tape and paper, no-one notices.

If you use enough, the package will end up 10 times the size it should be

Gift bags for the win

Or get a woman to do it for you.

I find it really hard to wrap up ten pound notes... because that's about all they'll get, not had time for xmas shopping this year due to them barstewards called my employers.

better be careful ripping them open!
or you could laminate a sheet of paper saying "better luck next time"?
definitely be funny

because men just can't wrap, don't worry about it

[Barry]

Men can wrap, they just don't take the time and effort that a woman does to make it look as good at it could be, when me and the missus do the cristmas wrapping (4 kids so loads of wrapping) hers is always better but I always get alot more done than she does!

I don't really enjoy wrapping presents, but I think I'm pretty good at it.

Just takes some patience.
