    I think I have to be the worst present wrapper in history.  My FI wraps presents much better than I do - how embarassing!  Last night, I decided to have Santa's workshop and wrap the presents that we already have.  Well, my FI was watching me at one point and told me that I had too much paper at the ends and that we went over this last year!  Oops.  Bees - I need some tips for wrapping presents :)  I seem to have the most trouble on the ends, FI tells me to cut the ends, fold and then wrap.  BUT it still looks kind of messy and child like.

    Hmm, I put a little piece of tape on one end in the middle of the wrapping paper stuck to the gift, which holds down the paper better so I can start wrapping. Then I wrap the other end around the gift, crease the end in (in case I didn't cut it very straight), and then tape the end down over the other. Those are about my only tricks and they're kind of hard to explain without showing :)

    Have you looked up any youtube videos or anything to see if there's other tips you could watch?

    Second the tape in the middle! It makes it much, much easier!
