my father however, he wraps like the nordstrom gift dept. corners all perfect and smooth and bows placed neatly and evenly! (smh) so not fair!!!
why do I not have those skills?

Oh, I love that idea! I would completely value receiving a gift in a drawstring bag like that. All in all, wrapping paper is just such a waste. Thanks for the link! =)

No, you will definitely not be lonely as I just discovered I completely forgot one present I was going to get…thus, I will also be one of those last minute shoppers. Ugh, will it ever end??? =)

See? It’d almost be better if I were FAST. I’m just sloppy…and slow. Nothing good there. =)

I saw this while I was reading other blogs earlier today and thought it might be something to consider: http://patriciaswisdom.com/2009/12/getting-things-all-wrapped-up/

Good luck!

I hate wrapping presents. Maybe that’s why I put off buying them until the last minute! I love giving gifts, but wish I could just hand them over in the bag I bought them in. That said, I understand the importance of presentation too. Ugghh, the dilemmas!! Can you believe I’m still not done shopping? I’m going to be one of those people out at the last minute this week. Oh well. I don’t think I’ll be lonely.

Maybe I need to try the rum. Too too funny on your post. 🙂

Yep, I learned early on to make sure and ask Santa to bring those presents…unwrapped! =)

That being said, Santa doesn’t wrap the gifts he leaves at my house. He just sets those suckers out there so there!
