Wrapping presents!
I'm not really sure why but I've always loved shopping and then wrapping presents for the people I care about.
- I also enjoy using a really good fountain pen to write the card. Years ago my wrapping was super fancy ribbons & big bows etc. Now I just keep things simple. IMO stuff like this is important and women love it. ![]() Just wrapped for my son's GF. ![]()

I've got a bag full of super small bows with double sided tape on them. They look super funny on a medium to large box.

I used to wrap gifts in the comics from a newspaper. Well, not so much these days.

A properly wrapped thing doesn't need the accoutrement. It's like throwing a bunch of garbage parsley on a big white plate

I bow to the Man who invented gift bags and tissue paper.

I use gift bags for bottles of wine or booze and tissue paper for gift baskets.

My parents subscribed to Nat Geo for decades - the "yellow wall" in the basement is gone finally but they stripped all of the maps. Now all of their gifts get wrapped in those, some with countries that don't even exist anymore!
Oh, and never ever never (can you hear me inlaws?) tape to the box. That's at least a two point deduction, on par with sliding another piece of paper in to cover the remaining hole after you borked the measurements...
