wrapping presents

[draper]

if it comes in a carrier bag do i really need to wrap it up ?
will selotaping the bag up suffice ?

[Jack]

Just wrap one small item in an entire roll of paper, then cover every inch of it with sellotape

[mk1nova_rich]

Depends who its for lol

[draper]

i always do that with my brother present.

i also once put a keyring in several boxes so he thought he had a massive present lol

Roll of ducktape, and then stanley blade it so it comes off in 2 inch strips...

Took my mate 45 minutes to get into something about 8x10x10cm

[dj_wudgey]

just do it how i do roll up in to a ball off paper and selotape!!!

[steviegsi]

I like smithy from Gavin and Staceys idea.... Wrap in tinfoil is the way to go.

But I refuse to wrap presents, they get handed out in the plastic bag it comes in.

Getting brother to wrap and tag your gitfs with post it notes is just pure win:thumb:



One thing i am shocked about though is that in years passed ive been running round like a smackhead after his giro on christmas eve getting last minute gifts, or wrapping desperately trying to finish everything on christmas eve, yet all mine are done, dusted and under the tree as i type, all that is left is to carry on nailing my stash of beers:d

[Adam]

All my wrapping is done. Its nearly 3pm and ive already made a good start on the beer drinking. I aim to be hammered before the gf's parents come round about 8pm tonight lol lol

[Dave.]

According to my mum, the last time i went out and got truly shoitefaced, i came home absolutely steaming, fired up the laptop proclaiming i intended to come on and ban someone, stared at the screen for about ten mins then said i couldnt see the screen, so turned it off and went to bed lol

[wwmnw]

Lets hope you don't get too drunk then spud, I don't want to be part of the random banning xx lol

[Spudly]

Lmfao ive not gotten that bad in a while lol


Dont worry youve given me kisses so i shall refrain, i think any ban i issued if i got drunk enough id soon lift and provide an apology (righto :p) :d

[Jack]

Fcuk that, I'd ban the entire forum.

Last minute gifts is soooo 1990's. Ebay/Amazon FTW. All delivered long before Christmas.... thats mainly because if I didn't spend the money on presents it would get spent on something else. Like fixing the Nova, and what a waste of money that would be lol

[Spudly]

One of these days Jack i think you should give me the nova for christmas (Lee has assured me he doesnt want it, honest)





lol

[Jack]

Only Lee is eligible for the free offer, anyone else has to part with cold hard cash :p

[wwmnw]

I've just found five pound coins in the snow? Very cold and very hard, will that cover it?

[draper]

well wrapping the present went well, leving the price tags on most stuff didnt lol

[Jack]

Add a few thousand extra and it might be enough lol
