Friday

tip-o-day

Are you wrapping gifts this holiday season?
Will your significant other person be wrapping them with you?

Here are some tips for just such an occasion:


  • set the mood,
    - put on some happy holiday music
    - start a fire*
    - pour a glass of something you love - wine, a cold lager, eggnog...

  • create some space
    - clear off the kitchen or dining table
    - use the chairs to hold unwrapped gifts or supplies

    and most importantly
  • duplicate your wrapping supplies,
    this will make for a truly harmonious wrapping experience.
    - 2 pairs of scissors
    - 2 rolls of tape




*for safety weese suggests only starting fires if you have a fireplace or wood burning stove.

We prefer to wrap on the living room floor. That way the pups can get in on the action too! :)

Happy holidays, my friend. Be safe!

The fire tip is certainly one of your most useful ones. :)

Happy holidays!

You mean starting a fire made from leftover paper and tape under the partner who won't share her scissors is not a good idea? Huh.

I think you should have 4 pairs of scissors and 4 rolls of tape, that way, when a pair of scissors and a roll or two of tape disappear (even though they're right in front of your face) you'll have a extras!

The duplicate thing would be essential. It would also be helpful if Bing would help wrap, which she doesn't....not that I am bitter or anything.

Really. I'll just make a little sign and tape it to her back when I hug her.

A green tip I gleaned from my annoying Honda enewsletter...

Put all used holiday wrappings in a lawn and leaf bag and store for use as packing material for any items shipped in the coming year.

I think I like that one but it will require eb approval.

Happies of holidays to you and yours.
