In yesterday’s post, I didn’t emphasis how extremely grateful I am that my mom wrapped all my Christmas presents* and several birthday presents. I dislike wrapping so much – I get upset every time I do it.
It comes down to me not being good at it, and being upset for long it takes, and still comes out looking like crap. Would it look better if I practiced more? Yes. Am I going to practice more? No. Am I trying to think of ways to get my mom to wrap our remaining Christmas gifts*? Yes. Ha ha.
But all that to say – thank you SO MUCH, Mom! You saved me time and a lot of aggravation, and now my gifts are beautifully wrapped and even have bows and ribbon and sh*t.
*Purchased so far, for my family. We still have to shop for Steven’s dad and brother. And I still have all of Steven’s birthday gifts** to wrap.
**This includes things his dad and brother send me to wrap 🫠🫠🫠
If I lived closer to you I’d come over to help! I just love wrapping presents. When I was younger I even worked part-time in a local store in December just to wrap presents for customers. It’s so satisfying to hold a nicely wrapped present in your hands… ❤️
Ooo! I wish you could Dunja! That would be so fun! And I agree, it is satisfying to hold. Not to do yourself. HA HA HA 😉
Your mom is awesome! 🙂
She is!
Oh, you dislike wrapping? I love it and wish I had more people to wrap gifts… with most people far away, I have resorted to online ordering and there’s no wrapping on my part involved. Sad! But I am glad you have your mom to wrap gifts for you!
I absolute despise it! I would even use the word hate 🙂 I wish I could send mine to you to wrap, LOL. That stinks you don’t get to do many!
I’m glad your mom could wrap some presents for you! I love wrapping gifts and always get a little bummed out when I’m coming to the end of wrapping presents for the holiday season, lol. I would come over and wrap gifts for you if I could!
I wish you could too! And I love hearing that people actually LIKE it. Ha.
People who hate wrapping, unite! I stink at it, Kim. I avoid all wrapping-related responsibilities. Gift bags are my friend. As is Venmo. (My niblings cannot decline cold hard electronic cash. ;>)
I am glad it’s not just me who hates it! Every year I am like, why am I not just doing ALL gift bags?!
