The Mandatory Art of Wrapping Christmas Gifts Yourself This Year

No matter what Christmas gifts you’re giving this year, they’re guaranteed to make a better impression if properly wrapped. There’s something about the tight, symmetrical folds of a perfectly wrapped present that elevates whatever it contains to a whole ‘nother level of class and sophistication. In the same way that “the clothes make the man,” the gift-wrapping makes the gift.

If you’re new to the art of gift-wrapping, don’t worry. With a few simple, easy pointers, you, too, can master this skill. Who knows?

(Yeah, probably not.) We will promise you this: by the time you work your way through our gift-wrapping steps, you’ll be better at it than you were before. Without further ado, let’s get wrapping!
