    For years, I have given half-assed gift wrapped gifts to my friends and family. My mom disowned me, I lost my job and my girlfriend left me for a better gift wrapper. That all changed when I saw this video. This has literally changed my life. Since I've been using these gift wrapping hacks, I landed my dream job, got a new mom and my girlfriend begged me to come back to her. I can finally celebrate Christmas with my family for the first time. I couldn't thank you more for this life-changing experience :')

      This is why I'm here. My Christmassing sucked more than ever; bought everything late, rushed the wrapping, and even had to buy some gifts and wrap them in a pinch AFTER the special day itself. So I've vowed that next year I'll be done before everyone in my family. I want to go into December already done with wrapping done like in this vid!

      @Zazogog16 2 года назад

      @@MarcusT86 People always say there is plenty of time left in november, then, why not.. instead of leaving it for december you finish it in november. IThat is what I did this year, I got the presents in november, wrapped them in december and I was all set, no pressure no worries. You should do that next year. The presents are for someone else, but buy them early for yourself so you will not feel bad or guilty

    GREAT wrapping idea. I'm a 73 year old man who can remodel a house and do almost anything with wood. But my gift wrapping always left much to be desired. My wife told me after I paid the dept stores to wrap one year long ago that she would rather have me to do it myself. Most likely so she would know which presents were hers! This diagonal way looks so nice and it is easy. Thank you.

    I bought this really thick fancy wrapping paper for someone’s birthday. There’s not much wrapping paper in the roll and I accidentally cut too little!! I remember I had casually watched this video before and oh my god you just saved my butt!! The present looks MUCH better this way and without the side flaps that make presents look like an envelope!! Thanks so much!!

    Wrapping presents has always been a point of frustration for me. Outside of the onerous task of shopping, there is nothing I dread more than wrapping gifts. Every year, after lengthy attempts to wrap the first present, I get to the point where I am so agitated that I just want to throw up my hands and put my gifts in holiday decorated gift boxes, and call it a day, but I always relent on taking the easy way out because I know the people I give gifts to seem to appreciate the effort that goes into wrapping, almost as much as the gift inside the box. So I really appreciate you showing us these easy methods. I feel so stupid after seeing this video, where you show us how easy it is to wrap presents so easily, and most importantly to me, in such a quick fashion. Its almost like these ways of wrapping presents were so obvious that they were staring me in the face, but I was too obtuse to see it.

      @@Micky748-r7u : in my day, we called hacks "tips". Such as 'gift-wrapping tips". I still haven't figured out what was wrong with the word "tips" such that they had to rename them "hacks". (I STILL use the word "tips" because I like the sound of it better. I'm fine with "computer hacking" as a term, but otherwise, I think of a "hacking cough' .....

    Thank you for sharing Grace's song on your video. I went to her channel and listened to the whole song and it helped me get over something that I've been having a hard time with on top of other things. It almost broke me. Thank you for helping me smile today ☺

    Great hacks! For the TP roll, you CAN wrap it with paper, just glue around the tube AFTER you score it but BEFORE you push the ends in (I’d make sure the wrap is completely adhered to the roll). Once you fold the ends in, the paper will do what the tube does☺️

    Good video! It would have been nice if you showed us how you decided how much paper to cut in the first place. I sometimes get stuck there. Also, the corners are harder to flush than what’s shown. It takes practice and it depends on the size and shape of the gift. Overall, very helpful :)

      What I do to make sure I have enough paper. Before cutting the paper from the roll. I put my gift in the center, and make sure there’s enough to cover both sides. I hope this helps.

    • @SaysSamara

      Get the wrapping paper with the squares on the back, put your gift on the paper and then fold the paper alittle over half way on the gift, then you count the squares it took on the side that isnt covered (leave the gift on the paper while you do this) and then just cut the same amount off on the other side.
