Learn2 Giftwrap a Present

Not now, I'm sort of wrapped up!

You remembered! And you want to give someone a special gift. Wrapping a gift adds a personal touch, saves money, and is really quite simple once you have mastered a few simple tricks. It's also an opportunity to express yourself creatively and to show someone that you really care.

Before You Begin

Look for wrapping paper and ribbons that would look nice together. Ask a gift-wrapping attendant at department store, or borrow an idea from a gift catalogue. If you can picture in your mind what you want the package to look like, your job will be that much simpler. Do make sure that you have enough tape, ribbon, and paper. Flair, color, and originality are good things to keep in mind. Also, remember to remove any price tags or stickers from the gift before you get going.
