Gift bags Adam, gift bags!

(1) Buy festive bags. (2) Put present in bag (3) repeat step 2 until done.;-D

Gift bags should go down as one of the greatest inventions

And don’t forget to stuff the bag with colored tissue paper to plump up the bag, so it looks full, even though you only put in a trinket!!

Adam has the biggest collection of “non-skills” I have ever seen.

Or is it excuses?

Hope he invests in Gift Bags then

Ditto what everyone said about gift bags. They were invented for those of us who can’t wrap well and now everyone uses them.

Tape dispensers and Adam don’t mix well.

think about it as a bless, Adam.

That’s gonna hurt your ornament sales.

I can wrap a present

That is to say that when I am done it is wrapped, and an observer would be able to detect it is meant to be a present

Wrap it! Use half a roll of tape and then place it in a gift bag or another box and wrap it again. Opening gifts is the experience and fun of Christmas morning. Your curiosity runs wild as to what it is. Helps if box doesn’t show the contents too but you can’t always have that.

I have a relative who places the gifts he gives in brown paper bags and encircles them with masking tape. No joke.

@mrwiskers Your relative is a genius.

Adam has faced a lot of bans in his life!

Tis one of the reasons men get married. That and laundry

Back in my younger days, I worked for a major department store. One day their gift wrap department was slammed so they told me to help. I told them it was a bad idea. They ordered me to do it. After my first attempt they were embarrassed to charge the lady so they kicked me out of gift wrap, never to return.

Ah yes, in addition to being a failure as a writer and parental figure, of course Adam has all the dexterity of a stump of wood.

I like wrapping presents. I just hate scissors, tape and bows. …and wrapping paper. Sooo, pretty much everything about wrapping presents. …sigh

Some folks are missing the gift wrapping gene, it the same for fitted sheets.

broke my wrist a little while back…gift bags for all this year!

It’s a big club Pal And l am a charter member….

now i’m wondering if there’s anything that adam’s not capable of screwing up…

Sometimes, in my family, we would use newspaper to wrap. Comics for us kids, news for Dad, social pages for Mom. Not necessarily at Christmas, but birthdays/Mother’s Day/Father’s Day, etc.

I can figure out how to wrap just about any gift – my dad taught me (also taught me how to wrap packages for shipping and so many, many other life skills).

But – we are down to only 3 gifts to buy – one for each of husband’s nieces (teenagers) and one for husband. (For some years/decades – I don’t get anything for Christmas, birthday etc. by my request as I don’t need or want anything.) My niblings are in their late 20s/early 30s so we don’t buy for them any longer.)

I put his gifts in gift bags as why waste the paper when he knows he what he is getting as he bought it.
