Don't be jealous, Paul. You just need to get in touch with your crafty side. Do a little yoga to loosen those atrophied present-wrapping muscles. Put on some Snow Patrol or other soothing music to put you in the right frame of mind. Take a few big breaths. Say a prayer or two. Start with a fresh roll of tape. You'll be fine.
Also, you can completely circumvent this whole situation with 2 miraculous items:
gift bags
tissue paper
Or - you could just pay Dina to wrap 'em for you!
I'll never be as good as any of you! Not even with practice!
You now realize that all your gifts will be in gift bags with tissue paper. Just be prepared for the sight.
I like money!! :)
But Pauley you've come a long, long way. Here's a great idea - many stores will wrap gifts for you and then you can pretend you did it !!!
