Whoever invented grid lines on the inside of wrapping paper should be awarded the Nobel prize for something.

Contrast beautiful gift-wrapping designed to be opened easily leaving the paper (or cloth) intact with the way we wrap presents, putting as much tape on as possible to make it next to impossible to remove without the added excitement of a sharp blade to hand.

LOL I've always done boxes that way - isn't it obvious?

How maths can help you wrap your presents better.
Wrapping awkwardly shaped Christmas presents is always a headache, but here’s the formula for perfect gift wrap.

The other day I stopped by my local #library (to return an interlibrary loan -- which, if you don't already know about, is worth investigating) and right in front of the circulation desk was a small table with neatly stacked rolls of wrapping paper, several tape dispensers, a big box of fancy bows and some scissors.
My local library has set up a #gift #wrapping station for the general public to use, free of charge. Just walk in and wrap your gifts during open hours, right up to the day before Christmas.
There are lots of bigger reasons to love libraries, but this is one I didn't know about and absolutely adore.

What's a command-line tool to hard-wrap a file but preserve #indentation ?
(No, I'd never hard-wrap anything willingly, but sometimes you have to bow to evil in order to achieve greater good.)

I absolutely hate #wrapping gifts, but it's paradoxically the activity that gets me most excited for #Christmas 🎁

Two More Days
We are down to the holiday wire and, somehow, I wrapped the final present this morning. We had a few things delivered yesterday and today before work I took them to my wrapping station in the cellar and cranked them out.
The Wrapping Is Complete.
I still need to go out and pick up one or two little things that are fun but not required. I will do that either tonight after work or tomorrow. I am off work tomorrow. Actually, I am off work until Friday. I was going to work in the office today but I am still sick so in order to not screw up anyone else’s holiday I stayed home. I am well enough to work, but not well enough to be in public guilt free. If I do go out at some point tonight I will wear a mask.
One more work day to go and then I am off for xmas eve, xmas, and Boxing Day… even though the US doesn’t celebrate Boxing Day. Whatevs, right? HoHoHo.

Calendar
I don’t like what the calendar does to me at this time of year. We’re so close to the holidays that I just stop being able to deal with the days that still lay between me and the big dates.
We are currently seven days away from xmas and 14 days away from New Years. That means 13 days until New Years Eve, but NYE is a work day for me so that’s pretty screwy in general.
As an added bonus, we are 38 days away from the next vacation too. I sure hope it’s nice and warm in Florida in January. Last time we visited in January it was cold-ish in the morning and warm in the afternoons. I can live with that.
With the possible exception of anything that might be added to any one of the many piles of xmas gifts in the next few days, everything that isn’t for my wife or for a Secret Santa has been wrapped. I’ll have it all done by the weekend, with oodles of time to spare before the big day arrives.
I just want it to get here. I want Santa to arrive and unlawfully break into the house do his dirty work. I want the kids home with us, even if it is just for a short time, and I want to see the niece and nephews and the siblings and the in-laws on both sides of the family. I just want it to get here already. Is that too much to ask?

Home
We are home from New York. It was just a one day visit to the city but it was a blast. All we did was wander around 5th Avenue while freezing our asses off. I shot a whole roll of 35mm film through my father’s camera. Awesome.
Today is December 15th. Xmas is 10 days away. You know what that means. It means that today starts the final xmas push. The to-do list for today includes wrapping presents by the truck load. There are a few errands to run too, but today starts the wrapping bonanza.
Bring it on.

It's getting to the time of year when you might need to wrap a 🎁 or two. Every year, I re-watch and re-learn wrapping technique from two YouTube videos which I swear by. Maybe they'll help you, too!
First one, for good general wrapping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ik_yEXHUlg
Second one, for CD/DVD case wrapping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP-of-VlXAI

#Consumer #Products #Wrapping #Waste #Deception
Again opened a box of chocolates with just a few pieces inside, where the manufacturer carefully had made sure the box looks like it would contain whole lot.
Are there actually any ideas around how to prevent this? Something like an Air Tax? Or a tax on the usable-product-vs-wrapped-product-volume ratio?

@Taskerland I do perhaps go overboard on wrapping things. This is that green man plaster I did, wrapped up, and the wax seal there is an impress I made using polyclay and a badge I had from the National Trust.
But it make me think.. "Must be time to make a elder sign seal"

This year's gift wrapping comes with free helpings of #cat hair attached to all tape. Included at no extra charge.
No opt out option, either.

Hard relate. Not with our current cat Jerry, who unusually doesn't show much interest in paper or boxes, but our much-missed Topsy always liked to help wrap presents 😊

Happy #FerretFriday ! A cautionary tale of letting ferrets wrap your presents using double sided tape.
**Time is running out to join my Secret Santa virtual no malls/money/mailing gift exchange! Message me if you would like to play; everyone will be matched with another mastodonian on the 24th and we will send the pics of the gifts #SecretSanta on #Christmas day!**

Why not.
Following a recent discussion about supposed sensitivity to moisture / mold in straw-insulated buildings, I opened my 6-year-old #straw #retrofit #insulation with simple garden earth plaster in wet and windy northern germany. Vented reused corrugated steel roof as facade. SPOILER: #strohbau #lehm #clay #deeprenovation #wrapping #strawbuilding #strawbale it's perfectly dry. -
