But the whole point of wrapping presents is sealing it with sellotape and watching their faces as they can't get into it! You can't do that with a gift bag  |

Use tin foil..no sellotape needed and just scrunch up the sides! |

"Wrap them in boxes within boxes so you get the fun of watching the frustration and guesswork as they play one person pass the parcel. That's what I'd do, anyway."
I once gave a friend money for Christmas, but I wrapped it in 10 different boxes, all of which were wrapped individually and inside of eachother. I only did it because she complained to me about how disappointing cards are when you know there's just going to be money inside  |

I feel that way about Lego, Xmas mornings with the latest model to build, nostalgic I suppose.
I don't miss treading barefoot on those little hard bricks though... |

Doesn't anyone but my family wear slippers?!
OP, you're confusing me... it's not hard at my age. Was this another bet or dare?

A friend of mine once gave someone £100 as a xmas gift and apparently got 100 £1 coins and wrapped them individually  |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |

Course you can. Hold the opening of the bag tight and apply tape across it.
Voila... |

"I'm thinking of using two separate pieces of wrapping paper. Is that cheating?"
Have you been trying to wrap the same Lego present for over 6 hours...?  |

No, but I've stared at the box longer attempting to work out the best way to do it than I'd care to admit. |

Right what are you using, roll or sheets of paper?
You'll have to wrap the box part first, put the bottom edge of the box along the edge of the wrapping paper roll and bring it up to the top like it's in a sleeping bag, secure with tape at the top where the box meets the flappy stupid part, wrap the two straight side of the box as normal. Cut (diaganolly) down the sides of the paper where the funny edges of the box are and secure with take then measure the flappy top part with more paper off the roll and cut it off the roll, then just wrap it the same.
I worked weekends in amazon on gift wrap last Xmas, I hate the cunting things, but I can wrap them like a demon! |

Rule of wrapping- put awkward shapes into standard square box and then... spend 5 mins looking for scissors you just had, 10 mins trying to find the end of the cellotape, and move the cat for the 7th time and wrap the box...

I can wrap your standard square or rectangle parcel using just 3 pieces of tape, the paper is tight to each edge, the symmetry, everything is perfect.
I've even got a kind of knuckle duster type device I wear that dispenses scotch tape and a rolling scissors. I don't fuck about.
