    Wrapping presents? Seriously, I dont get why I am so awful, but my shit always turns out to be a train wreck. I seem to mutilate even simple things liks books and DVDs, and forget about adding ribbons, bows, etc. Please tell me there some other wrapping noobs out there, it might at least temper the despair I feel over this inadequacy..

    I am a joke with wrapping presents.

    I only have to wrap presents for my wife as she does all shopping/wrapping/shipping for all our kids/relatives/friends who get presents from us.

    Even though I suck at it, I still do it myself because it's that personal touch, iykwim. I kind of apologized about my crappy wrapping to my wife one year and she made some comment about preferring a heterosexual husband to one who is good at wrapping presents. w00t.

    This is exactly why I wrap presents myself, and not have the store wrap it for me. Far be it from me to fully understand the feminine psyche, but I just imagine that the personal touch as UD puts it, even if it results in an uber shitty wrap job, is more important and "touching" to a bish then a pretty package with tons of ribbons/bows, and other assorted accoutrements. Anyway this is my justification, and I am sticking to it.
