Do you suck at gift wrapping?

I do okay, but as of late because I don't really like doing it, I've been using gift bags.

Anyone really enjoy doing it and if so post some pics to inspire me to do it more.

    I start off strong, then I get to folding the sides and it all goes downhill from there....

    I'm totally not into it this year; typically I wrap gifts in the brown packing/mailing paper and tie it up with red string. Quite the vintage look! This year half my presents are in bags, and I have a giant box of stuff that has yet to be wrapped from Santa.

    I don't do Martha Stewart level gift wrapping. I probably could if I cared more.
    This year half the gifts are competently wrapped in Hello Kitty birthday wrapping paper and half are in snowflake paper. No ribbon or bows.

    I'm terrible at it but look very festive now after wrapping all our parcels in glittery paper... I've glitter in my hair - my clothes and on my hands.

    I hate it. My kids literally dgaf about how fancy something is wrapped so I'm cool with my inability to wrap worth a crap.

    I am not a gifted gift wrapper. In my early days I'd just make sure it was covered and use way too much tape. These days I'll either hide it and bring it out at an opportune time unwrapped or throw it in a bag with the pretty tissue.

    I may suck at wrapping - but I have a sense of humor!!! (This is not my wrapping job) but totally something I would do!

    true story - I used go to FedEx and pick up free boxes and envelopes along with a stack of air bills.

    I would fill out the air bill as the gift tag.

    I love wrapping gifts and making them loom all pretty and perfect under the tree. Part of the fun is making them all look beautiful.

    I love wrapping.... I'll rewrap things if I do a rubbish job, and I love making the presents all look pretty (and coordinate....) :)

    I am the worst gift wrapper in the world. Gift bags and tissue paper are lifesavers for me.

    I use to love it and did well but by the end I got worn out. Now I just hate it and rush through it. Fortunately my daughter came over and wrapped most of mine this year!

    I really enjoy wrapping gifts. I would not enjoy it if I had to hurriedly wrap a lot of them. It is best when I wrap a few a day within a week or two before Chrstmas. Something about the ratios and squaring of the paper makes me very happy. Then measuring off and coordinating ribbons; love it

    I'm pretty terrible at it. But in my opinion the gifts are wrapped so bad that just by looking at them you can't tell what they are, so in my eyes my terrible wrapping makes it more exciting

    Wrap yourself and dance around like this and no one will care about the horrible gift wrapping job you do on all the presents.

    I'm not good at it, plus a lot of kid things come in god-awful uneven packages that make it a %$#%$ to wrap.

    But there's something about opening wrapped gifts vs gift bags, plus it's cheaper... so whatever.

    Also, this seemed appropriate :D

    Honestly I needed this type of thing growing up bc my brothers would do that whole thing of unwrapping the present early and then put it back. One year I caught the younger brother peaking at his gift from me and I took it back to the store bc I'm a B.... like that.

    I pretty much suck at it but I still enjoy it. I wrapped all my presents yesterday. It was a marathon.
