There are still a few days for the wise men. And with them, the arduous task of wrapping gifts. It seems like a lie, but wrap a simple box on a nice paper can become the most frustrating task of Christmas. If sending a rocket to the Moon seems easier than wrapping a Pérez Reverte book in glossy paper, these Instagram accounts They will teach you to wrap anything you can imagine without having to sacrifice your mental health.
The importance of wrapping a gift well
During the last Christmas, the gifts I made to my family and partner could be classified directly as churros (they may be called porras in your town, but we are not going to enter into that debate here today). The intention of the gifts was good and the little things I gave away were worth their money and well thought out. But the packaging… I don’t want to share images so as not to hurt your sensibilities. In my family they took photos of my gifts to laugh a little at me, but at least, my Kings were wrapped with paper, and not with the Amazon box itself, which was the strategy that my father took. His decision was much more shabby, but he received a harvest of criticism much less than the cane that was given to me for my churrorgalos.
Well, this year I have proposed that the same thing does not happen to me again. I refuse to think that wrapping a gift is such a complicated thing. To avoid a new humiliation, I began to investigate how you can easily wrap a gift and without dedicating a whole night to the feat. What have I found? Well, a lot of Instagram accounts that are dedicated to just that, to teach creative ways to wrap gifts. I doubt that you who are reading me are as useless as I am wrapping gifts, but it can also help you to know all these tricks.
