Seriously, why was this invented? You go through the trouble of sizing the paper, wrapping the gift (some that are too hard to wrap) taping it and labeling it only for the paper to be ripped to shreds in a matter of seconds.

Grumble...grumble...stuck wrapping presents :wink:

Yeah, wrapping paper is annoying. But you know what I find really annoying? I haven't been able to find anywhere to purchase wrapping paper online. I've been able to do all of my shopping online so far, but I have to crawl out of my hole and emerge squinting into a blinding sun JUST to get friggin' wrapping paper.

SOMEONE FILL THIS NICHE! :mrgreen:

Hehehehe...it's a good thing there are gift bags out there for people like us. Of course, you would have to go into the sun tot buy the giftbags, but...

I make sure to buy "container" presents for anyone who's getting more than 1 or 2 presents from me (i.e. my girlfriend, Karey). Lets see, she's gotten a fireproof security chest, a backpack, a duffel bag, and various boxes decorated with my signature (bad) artwork (a sentimental keepsake!). Its my solution to wrapping!

Gee... second post today I've used (bad) in... wonder if there are any other posts I can use that construction in before midnight...

Patent-pending SPRAY-ON WRAPPING PAPER! :D

You can print off all the PPCT articles and wrap presents in those - but no one would want to rip them!

Yes, but unfortunately, I didn't order everything from Amazon... :cry:
