In our house, my husband is the gift wrapper. I am not. I do not have the skills, patience, or wherewithal to successfully wrap more than one gift per month. On the other hand, my husband is an engineer and he lives for precision type projects. It oozes into almost everything he does.
Like wrapping Christmas gifts.
Like wrapping Christmas gifts.
Just look. You can totally tell that my husband wrapped this gift:
Notice that the corners are at sharp 45 degrees angles. There are no wads of extra wrapping paper because he was too dang lazy to find the scissors. And the stripes on the wrapping paper match up to form a rectangle shape on the ends of the package.
Incredible.
He wrapped this one as well, officially turning the above present from a mere coincidence into a phenomenon:
Once again, we have precision corners, no wads of extra paper, and the stripes match up to form a box on the end of the present. And he only uses three pieces of tape per package.
Amazing. Slightly abnormal, but amazing. And all of the gifts he wrapped are like these two. All of them, people. It's a phenomenon.
Here is a gift I wrapped:
Note the complete absence of perfect corners and heavens no, the wrapping paper does not match up. Know why? Because I used waaaaay too much paper (was too lazy to find the dang scissors). Oh, and I probably used half a roll of Scotch Invisible tape on this bad boy.
But be honest. Can you really tell a difference between my wrapping job and my husband's?
Yeah, okay. Maybe you can tell a slight difference in presentation. Hons, I believe the world is divided into two different kinds of people: the wrappers and the unwrappers.
I'm totally an unwrapper, man.
