lover/boyfriend/girlfriend/roomate/husband/wife because your Christmas gift wrapping isn't professional looking?
Granted it doesn't look like total crap but it doesn't look like a pro at the mall did it. But i'm like who cares because the paper is going to be torn and destroyed anyways.
I mean its better than just handing out presents still in the bag from wherever you got them from right?

I just tape the bag from the store shut and hand it out like that, I figure it's sealed and the receipt is still in it. Then again my family and friends understand my views on Christmas.

never understood why you should wrap all perfectly and tidy anyway. Sure i don't want it to look like crap
But if it's wrapped,or hell, just in a sealed bag,it works for me.

I never get grief for it but that's probably because I'm very aware of how shitty my wrapping is and I always apologize for it.

When I wrap, they do look like total crap. But nobody really cares, as long as every inch of the gift is covered.
Although I did get a comment today over the lack of bows on some of the gifts.

Hell, how long does it take an excited kid to rip off all of that paper? 3.5 seconds? Who cares if every corner is so neat it looks as if it was ironed - it's going to be gone within seconds anyway. So long as the person can't see the gift, it's a job well done, for me.

Yup. Probably because I just bunch some wrapping paper around the object, wind some tape around it until it's sealed shut and call it a day.

My excuse for my atrocious wrapping is that it keeps people guessing what the present is.
My sister is so good at wrapping that you can usually tell what it is.

Nope, it's functional in wrapping paper with a little card to say it's from me, but that's it.

This year, I'm buying those lil gift bags, and just putting the gifts in there. No wrapping/unwrapping at all. So no shitty wrap job for me, and much more tidy for them.

Do you use newspaper? Joking about wrap-jobs, in my experience, is often a polite way to say "it's unfair to the rest of us making an effort that you're wrapping gifts in newspaper."
Aluminum foil, duct tape, etc. are passable because those are (At the very least) stylistic choices that still require a degree of skill and ingenuity. But newspaper? That's like wearing jorts to a funeral.

Never... though it's well known that my wrapping ability is terrible...

As long as the gift is not peeking out somewhere then it's good.

I just dupe my mom or my cousin into wrapping gifts for me. They can turn it out, so I let them turn it out.

No, but I usually don't bother wrapping the gifts.

It's become a running joke on how badly I wrap presents.
But I don't care, I just own the laughs.

I'd be more insulted if a gift was professionally wrapped. Do it yourself you lazy asshole or you get nothing in return.
