I’m a pretty good wrapper, but we mostly just do money now for the kids. But don’t use a shoe box. The lid isn’t flush with the box, so you have to wrap it separately.
When I was selling games on eBay I wrapped every one in paper twice for protection. 10,745 sales later I am a very proficient wrapper. (If you remember getting a double wrapped item tell me your name and I’ll tell you what you bought as well as the date and your address. I kept very good records)
My SIL said I could help her wrap presents while my brudder was banished to the kitchen to make cookies, because, “He can’t wrap worth a darn.” SIL looked at the first present I wrapped, said" what did you do? That looks lust like a pacifier!" Brudder appeared at the kitchen door and said, “She taught me how to Wrap!!!” I was banished to the kitchen to make cookies. And she yelled in, “Don’t eat the raw cookie dough.” Brudder and I had a small glob of cookie dough in our fingers and the fingers were just about to our mouths. I asked him, "How does she do that??" “She’s a mom now.” he replied.

Or, you can get a gift bag, drop the gift in, and you’re done.

Cut a big sheet of paper, crush it around the present, go all the way around the present both ways with packing tape, and you’re done.

That’s a dad for you. Practical advice you can actually use.

I’m the Mom and no one wants me to wrap their gifts for them. I use lots of tape but keep finding a place where something is peeking through.

It’s the gift that counts, the wrappings are just lip stick on the pig.
