Present wrapping made easy:

Being forced by decrepitude to cut back on present wrapping activity, I have recently made a pre-mortem bequest of my easy wrapping wisdom to my Facebook friends. Non-Facebook friends are hereby included in the pre-mortem bequest:

Present wrapping made easy: As a clumsy and lazy person I have found the following helpful. Take the time to get the best wrapping paper you can find. This will compensate for various deficiencies. Your excuse for using transparent tape is that more difficult to apply ribbons would obscure the glory of your wrapping paper. Use big cheap dry-sticky blank labels intended for identifying guests at meetings. Red or green borders are best. Use red and green italic markers in two sizes. Display your humility by making the "To: ..." much larger than the "From: ... ". Your excuse for big cheap labels is that you are easing the burdens of the present-hander-outer.
Wrapping paper should be chosen to draw interest and favorable comments. Its grandeur should set your presents apart from others. (And further assist the present-hander-outer.) Your presents appearing to be more fine, and carefully chosen, and costly. Demonstrations of the magnitude and appropriateness of your affections for the recipients. "%%%%% bodykins, man, much better. Use every man after his desert, and who should ’scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity. The less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty." - http://bit.ly/eFFtB5
