I'm the only guy I know who sometimes manages to insult his gift recipients because of my abominable wrapping jobs. Very sad. A blind man would be insulted by my gift wraps. Here is another idea: Old Pringle's cans. I've actually used them before. Of course, stupid me also wrapped the cans - thereby ticking off my sister in the process. Merry Christmas!
