'Mary, It Takes a Fairy...'

[Michael Luc]

Are you any good at wrapping Christmas presents? Personally, I'm not. But I'll wager that a lot of gays are.

It reminds me of what my favorite character in "The Boys in the Band," said: "Mary, it takes a fairy to make something pretty."

I'm busted....

Often the paper, ribbons, bows, bobbles and bells are worth more that the gift..I love to wrap!!!!

SOOO GAy....

Provided the item in question is a nice regular shape, or in a box, I have no trouble wrapping it up and making it look enticing.

But if it's an odd shape; forget it.

Yep, in the wrapping of gifts department I'm as gay as a bucket of frogs.

My presents look like they've been thrown down a flight of stairs.

All is well until it comes time to fold in the ends. I usually end up ripping the paper or it's all bunchy and lopsided.

LOL!!! That's pretty much my wrapping talents as well. Thankfully Amazon.com will wrap gifts for you - its worth the extra cost.

Thanks to the bad wrapping, people will know who the gifts are from if we forget to include a card.

...and we all know just how fabulously GAY! a bucket of frogs can be!
Especially those little pink tropical rainforest froggies;
they're GAY!

I honestly try to take my time and do a good job--- but I'm just no good at it. Do you suppose there's one straight gene rattling around in there? Nah! Forget that! I'm just a gay klutz!

I used to work in flower shop. I know how to hand tie bows and dress them up. This years bows are green satin with red curly ribbon. Even I said "FAG!!" when I stood back to look at them...

Packages I giftwrap are frequently thrown in the rubbish without having been opened.

I often wrap presents in newspaper with rubber bands, or see-through film or bubble wrap. I use old clothes or bits of found fabric tied on with string. It's fun to put a cheap present in a carrier bag from a really styley shop. Sometimes I just put string or ribbon round the naked present and say - here, I saved you the trouble of unwrapping and recycling the paper.

When I have bits of left-over paint or ink during the year I draw or frottage with a wax candle on cheap butchers paper and then paint over it with dilute paint, so I never have to buy wrapping paper.

I'm pretty good, but my mom always does a better job...*sigh

 

[doctorsun]

I'm okay at it. I don't like doing it, though.

 

[Centexfarmer]

Thank heavens for those drawstring bags you can get, saves all the hassle.

No kidding! Sometimes I'll get really creative and stuff in some colored tissue paper...I just forget to unfold it sometimes.

 

[josher]

Just like Candy Spelling I have a designated gift wrapping room in my house.

 

[josher]

Just kidding. It's a fantasy of Will's on "Will and Grace."

 

[ozguy]

I get all my Christmas shopping gift wrapped at the time of purchase. Usually costs me a bit more but I don't mind a bit ..... can't be bothered fiddling around with all that ribbon and other adornments they use these days. I'd much rather open Chrissy pressies than wrap them, anyway!

 

[joer]

Yeah, I can wrap. I'm told my packages look "pretty" after I'm done.

don't know whether I should be proud of that or not.....

 

[Christopher123]

I totally suck at wrapping presents. In fact I suck so bad that I hate even doing it.
