Be A Wise Man When Wrapping Presents This Year

The big day is getting closer so the scraps of wrapping paper left over from last Christmas are starting to be dragged out of the cupboard and there are many tutorials online for how to wrap odd shaped presents and although they don't actually say it, these are predominantly aimed at men.
Unfortunately, gift-wrapping is one of those skills like reading instructions or navigating the short distance between their midriff and a toilet bowl that comes more naturally to women than to men so men not only suck at present buying but they suck royally at wrapping them also.   
My tips would be for men, whenever possible, buy gifts that are already wrapped or if what you are giving your loved one is a very weird shape, like a frying pan or vacuum cleaner, skip the wrapping paper and just put it inside a bag and stick one of those little sticky bows on it and remember that the important thing is not how you wrap it but that you save the receipt so we can exchange it for something we actually want on Boxing Day.
A fine example is that very first Christmas when the Wise Men went to see the little baby Jesus in his shed and presented him gifts, none of the gifts were wrapped, i have checked with my more theological friends and nowhere is it mentioned the wise men using wrapping paper which means that the very first Christmas gifts were not wrapped so that's your get out to not even bother trying.
