Gift Wrapping tricks?

[teddy037.2]

I like to cover the inside of the wrapping paper entirely in box tape or contact paper. that way, it looks like normal wrapping paper... but when they go to tear that shit... no make the beast with two backsing way dad, try harder... those wrenches won't open themselves!

That's awesome. I gotta remember that for my friend's b-day. Won't work so much for the family since they're not shredders and like to try and preserve the paper.

i'm with nate.

not buying them is a great way to not have to wrap them.

When I used to work for NOAA, I grabbed two huge rolls of outdated nautical charts for the East Coast that were slated for the shredder.  I've been using it as wrapping paper ever since.  I even had the maps of my favorite surf fishing spots box mounted.

i got a nice sized box, put some pegs from my bmx bike in it, with a can opener and a ring...  oh was that a fun night..

Oh that's a fun idea. I have a diamond ring for my wife for her birthday.
I think I'll include a used chain and sprocket in the box to through her off.
This will be fun
