For years, I have given half-assed gift wrapped gifts to my friends and family. My mom disowned me, I lost my job and my girlfriend left me for a better gift wrapper. That all changed when I saw this video. This has literally changed my life. Since I've been using these gift wrapping hacks, I landed my dream job, got a new mom and my girlfriend begged me to come back to her. I can finally celebrate Christmas with my family for the first time. I couldn't thank you more for this life-changing experience :')
This is why I'm here. My Christmassing sucked more than ever; bought everything late, rushed the wrapping, and even had to buy some gifts and wrap them in a pinch AFTER the special day itself. So I've vowed that next year I'll be done before everyone in my family. I want to go into December already done with wrapping done like in this vid!
@@MarcusT86 People always say there is plenty of time left in november, then, why not.. instead of leaving it for december you finish it in november. IThat is what I did this year, I got the presents in november, wrapped them in december and I was all set, no pressure no worries. You should do that next year. The presents are for someone else, but buy them early for yourself so you will not feel bad or guilty
Caprous I don't do Christmas anymore. it was more exciting when I was a kid. all the holidays were better when I was a kid. the Town where I am at Christmas time use to be lit up at Christmas time. now the only things decorated at the holidays are the bicycle poles. I'm not impressed with my town anymore.
GREAT wrapping idea. I'm a 73 year old man who can remodel a house and do almost anything with wood. But my gift wrapping always left much to be desired. My wife told me after I paid the dept stores to wrap one year long ago that she would rather have me to do it myself. Most likely so she would know which presents were hers! This diagonal way looks so nice and it is easy. Thank you.

Amazon stuffs their boxes with crumpled (LONG, EXCESSIVE) sheets of that brown craft paper. I save it and wrap my presents in that for rustic, free wrapping paper.
Me too, I even save the bubble wrap from parcels for when I am beating stuff. The craft paper gets folded neatly and sometimes ironed. Or I will crumple it more, depends on the look I want.
It depends of your own ability and creativity. I always do it with enough paper and it always looks professional. I decorate with lovely things as Christmas hangers for the tree. All method is perfect, when you do it with LOVE!
I clicked on this video with the hope to make a joke about the life-changing part of the title but it actually did teach me stuff I will use and it did change my life hahaha
I adore your bag tutorial the most, but not to say the others were not, they were also awesome, but getting back to the bag, I will surely try to do it this Christmas, thank you.
Me: likes *ONE* video about giftwrapping. UA-cam: "Gift wrapping must be all you think about!" Also UA-cam: proceedes to recommend 482982992 gift wrapping videos
Sooo many times I have cut wrapping paper short and had that little strip left open. Always just cut another piece to fill it in from my scrap paper. Cant believe I never thought of turning it diagonal.
So funny. This exactly is what happened to me with one gift the other day. I measured the paper but I still effed it up lol. That's the way I "fixed" it, cutting another piece and filling it. But I found this video after wrapping the gifts😅
Nice video (and great music) with really useful gift wrapping ideas (I love the paper bow). The first hack is the Japanese way of wrapping boxes which I've been using for a long time.
I bought this really thick fancy wrapping paper for someone’s birthday. There’s not much wrapping paper in the roll and I accidentally cut too little!! I remember I had casually watched this video before and oh my god you just saved my butt!! The present looks MUCH better this way and without the side flaps that make presents look like an envelope!! Thanks so much!!
Me: **wraps them when there's over 20 days left and labels the box I put them in "Don't open until the 24th"** Me when there's 7 days left: **opens the box and adds decorative ribbons to the presents**
Same here. I did that last year and I said this year, I'll wrap them once I get them but here it is, they're all still waiting to be wrapped. But with these tips, I might start wrapping soon. ☺
I usually do my wrapping just before I need to attend xmas. That way I know I wont take forever deciding on which paper, ribbon, etc. I pretty much slap it up in no time. The gifts only get ripped open anyways!
I was a homeless living off the dumpsters. Now I’m a homeless living off the dumpsters who knows how to wrap presents. Two thumbs up from me. This video changed my life.
JaylynsWorld I watched this a couple of weeks ago and, sure enough, I cut a piece of Christmas paper just a bit too small for my package! Even trying it for other items didn't work UNTIL I tried one of them with the diagonal method....it WORKED!!! Yes, I had to trim the end a bit, partway through, but I just made sure I cut both ends evenly and it fit great!!
When I was little and “helping” my parents wrap presents, I suggested they wrap diagonally and asked why they didn’t just do it that way because it made the most sense. They told me it didn’t work that way, AND I BELIEVED THEM. My whole life has been a lie.
I wrap with newspaper. Wrapping paper gets thrown away anyway and so does newspaper. So why not wrap with the newspaper? I decorate the newspaper with ribbons and such so it still looks festive. Still cute and eco friendlier
That's a good idea. I've been using tea-towels when possible, and pillow-cases for children, then the special Christmas paper towels inside for small things, as that can all be used again.

Oh man, all this time I would cut a extra strip to cover up the empty spot where the paper didn't cover not to mention all the money I've wasted at the dollar tree buying bags 😡! Love these ideas😁!!!!!! Thx for sharing!!!
I bet you are so happy each year when this video gets a nice view bump. I know I keep coming back to this video to get a better idea on wrapping some gifts. Here for the one with the present being slightly too big for the wrapping paper. I got a short roll and remembered there was a video that may help me. And I found the exact video I was looking for.
Diagonal wrapping; used by candy-bar manufacturers for almost a century! Thanks for posting this; your tips are timeless, and will be gifting lifesavers for generations. Merry Christmas to you; may you and yours have a great holiday and coming year 🎉🎁🎄
I wrap customers gifts at my local Barnes and Noble, where they are encouraged to make a donation and all proceeds go to charity. The wrapping paper is graciously provided by B&N and I always feel horrible throwing away wrapping paper that’s cut too small and doesn’t fit the books. Very excited to try out your first hack this Saturday while wrapping gifts! (also, contact your local B&N to find out if they host charitable organizations to wrap gifts!)
If you're struggling wrapping a roundish object it can help to use some thicker paper that doesn't end up a crumbled mess, and then just enjoy the coarse folds on it. (thanks, just needed a refresher on the diagonal wrap)
Its a cute idea, a little color spray paint and you have a nice box that can be a pain to try and make from a peice of cardstock. :) It'll save $$ too, cardstock can be a little pricey for someone on a budget.
Wrapping presents has always been a point of frustration for me. Outside of the onerous task of shopping, there is nothing I dread more than wrapping gifts. Every year, after lengthy attempts to wrap the first present, I get to the point where I am so agitated that I just want to throw up my hands and put my gifts in holiday decorated gift boxes, and call it a day, but I always relent on taking the easy way out because I know the people I give gifts to seem to appreciate the effort that goes into wrapping, almost as much as the gift inside the box. So I really appreciate you showing us these easy methods. I feel so stupid after seeing this video, where you show us how easy it is to wrap presents so easily, and most importantly to me, in such a quick fashion. Its almost like these ways of wrapping presents were so obvious that they were staring me in the face, but I was too obtuse to see it.
Christmas tree pictures; it's sort of like a birthday cake because your going to want the cake to look amazing for the pictures even tho you're about to smash your cousin's face right into it the next second.
I thought to hack always just meant to break into a computer and steal information. Now it means virtually anyway to shorten the time it takes to do anything from wrapping gifts to climbing Mount Everest.
@@Micky748-r7u : in my day, we called hacks "tips". Such as 'gift-wrapping tips". I still haven't figured out what was wrong with the word "tips" such that they had to rename them "hacks". (I STILL use the word "tips" because I like the sound of it better. I'm fine with "computer hacking" as a term, but otherwise, I think of a "hacking cough' .....
Everyone is now watching this last minute cause they don’t know how to wrap and that everyone is me ive been sitting here trying to wrap for 30 minutes now Update 12/23: I still haven’t finished and I’m supposed to give them their gifts today😭
Thank you for sharing Grace's song on your video. I went to her channel and listened to the whole song and it helped me get over something that I've been having a hard time with on top of other things. It almost broke me. Thank you for helping me smile today ☺
Great hacks! For the TP roll, you CAN wrap it with paper, just glue around the tube AFTER you score it but BEFORE you push the ends in (I’d make sure the wrap is completely adhered to the roll). Once you fold the ends in, the paper will do what the tube does☺️
Good video! It would have been nice if you showed us how you decided how much paper to cut in the first place. I sometimes get stuck there. Also, the corners are harder to flush than what’s shown. It takes practice and it depends on the size and shape of the gift. Overall, very helpful :)
What I do to make sure I have enough paper. Before cutting the paper from the roll. I put my gift in the center, and make sure there’s enough to cover both sides. I hope this helps.
Get the wrapping paper with the squares on the back, put your gift on the paper and then fold the paper alittle over half way on the gift, then you count the squares it took on the side that isnt covered (leave the gift on the paper while you do this) and then just cut the same amount off on the other side.
For years, I have given half-assed gift wrapped gifts to my friends and family. My mom disowned me, I lost my job and my girlfriend left me for a better gift wrapper. That all changed when I saw this video. This has literally changed my life.

Nice video (and great music) with really useful gift wrapping ideas (I love the paper bow). The first hack is the Japanese way of wrapping boxes which I've been using for a long time.
Here's a hack: if your gift is oddly shaped, put it in a box.
Or if it can't fit in the box or u can't wrap it u can toss it out in the garbage and say to the person I didn't get u any thing
Omg😂😂
Or just drop the gift in a gift bag and shove tissue paper on top. That's what I always do and see people do these days lol
No I used an imaginary box
Natalie Gray thank youuuu
You just changed my life forever! No more wasting gift wrap and no more buying bows. These ideas are brilliant! Thank you!

Use colorful Sunday comics to wrap kids' gifts. And for adults for whimsical gifts. Diane

My grandmother used the Sunday comics, I always thought it was adorable!
Melissa Lakin I’ve done that too! If you can get your hands on a foreign language newspaper (like Chinese or Korean), it creates an even cooler look.
Great hacks! I especially liked the one with non enough paper. We’ve all been there. It saves paper and the diagonal stripe looks amazing. Well done.

Well, for me wrapping presents always goes sideways :)
I bet you are so happy each year when this video gets a nice view bump. I know I keep coming back to this video to get a better idea on wrapping some gifts. Here for the one with the present being slightly too big for the wrapping paper. I got a short roll and remembered there was a video that may help me. And I found the exact video I was looking for.
It is currently December 1, 2020 at 8 PM. I’m getting this done early early. Now to hide them
Finally found someone in 2020 lol
Last year I did it at Christmas Eve and it was stressful. Ima be early so I can enjoy my Christmas Eve.
hala madrid!!
wish i was as organised as you lmao
wow u must be a parent level 99
"wrapping presents isn't always as easy as you think it's going to be"
The understatement of my Christmas eve
Shes right though im so bad at it
You wait till Christmas eve to start wrapping everything????
@@davidhoffman6980 Yes David can you read
@@heymomm1922 If you have to be rude to a stranger, can't you wait till after Christmas? It's not like I was rude to you.
@@davidhoffman6980 But it was a dumb question to ask. Again, can you read?
I volunteer for Wrapping for a Cure for 8 years now, and this is super helpful! Thanks :)
YAY! So glad!

I wrap customers gifts at my local Barnes and Noble, where they are encouraged to make a donation and all proceeds go to charity. The wrapping paper is graciously provided by B&N and I always feel horrible throwing away wrapping paper that’s cut too small and doesn’t fit the books. Very excited to try out your first hack this Saturday while wrapping gifts!
(also, contact your local B&N to find out if they host charitable organizations to wrap gifts!)

Thanks for giving me an excuse to eat Pringles
Or to reuse the toilet paper tube. 😉
Waldemar Poznerowicz u never need an excuse pringles are forever
Doesn't your gift smell like Pringles though? That's why I've never used a Pringles' can.
If you're struggling wrapping a roundish object it can help to use some thicker paper that doesn't end up a crumbled mess, and then just enjoy the coarse folds on it. (thanks, just needed a refresher on the diagonal wrap)
The wrapping paper gift bag is actually a tremendous tip! I can buy awkward shaped gifts again!!!
WOW! mind blown
Hi Jia love ur channel!!

In the wors of Bill Clinton: i feel your pain
The fun is in destroying the wrapping though..
Im 11 and i wrapped every gift under the tree its not that hard
Wrapping was sooo stressful for me, even the present was nice, presentation was bad, and this was so easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like a gift wrapped in a toilet roll tube 🤣
Its a cute idea, a little color spray paint and you have a nice box that can be a pain to try and make from a peice of cardstock.
:)
It'll save $$ too, cardstock can be a little pricey for someone on a budget.
You call yourself CutiePie and then make a super materialistic comment...wow, kid, youre in trouble when your looks go. Hahaha

Wow, people are passionate about that toilet paper tube in these replies lol
You deserve a medal for this you have made many millions of people's life easier
Wrapping presents has always been a point of frustration for me. Outside of the onerous task of shopping, there is nothing I dread more than wrapping gifts. Every year, after lengthy attempts to wrap the first present, I get to the point where I am so agitated that I just want to throw up my hands and put my gifts in holiday decorated gift boxes, and call it a day, but I always relent on taking the easy way out because I know the people I give gifts to seem to appreciate the effort that goes into wrapping, almost as much as the gift inside the box. So I really appreciate you showing us these easy methods. I feel so stupid after seeing this video, where you show us how easy it is to wrap presents so easily, and most importantly to me, in such a quick fashion. Its almost like these ways of wrapping presents were so obvious that they were staring me in the face, but I was too obtuse to see it.
You can cover the toilet roll tube with wrapping paper gluing in place before you fold into the pillow shape.
Why do we put so much time into wrapping things when I’m literally seconds it’s destroyed.
I dont wrap anything
Because of the SUSPENCE :) :) :) Anticipation is half the fun.
Christmas tree pictures; it's sort of like a birthday cake because your going to want the cake to look amazing for the pictures even tho you're about to smash your cousin's face right into it the next second.
It,s because as the french proverb says" la façon de donner vaut mieux que ce qu,on donne"
TheMari0123 hahah he best part 😂✌🏼😭
You seriously deserve 1 million subs because you explain things so well and good video quality, good camera angles, and beautiful background
omg Ikr
i hope in 2019 we collectively redefine the word: 'hack'
UncleT0ny exactly, I hate the term hack especially how people use it for everything!!
I thought to hack always just meant to break into a computer and steal information. Now it means virtually anyway to shorten the time it takes to do anything from wrapping gifts to climbing Mount Everest.
@@davidarbelaez4395 Thanks, i had no idea
@@Micky748-r7u : in my day, we called hacks "tips". Such as 'gift-wrapping tips". I still haven't figured out what was wrong with the word "tips" such that they had to rename them "hacks". (I STILL use the word "tips" because I like the sound of it better. I'm fine with "computer hacking" as a term, but otherwise, I think of a "hacking cough' .....
arx754 How did the term “computer hack/hacker/hacking come to be I always wondered.
Here for Christmas 2021 🥳🎄
Everyone is now watching this last minute cause they don’t know how to wrap and that everyone is me ive been sitting here trying to wrap for 30 minutes now
Update 12/23: I still haven’t finished and I’m supposed to give them their gifts today😭
Ia Hj yes ☹️
Yep. The struggle is real.
Me rn
I had three ministrokes and I feel stupid because I used to work as a gift wrapper for a department store 🏬! 😂
‘Tis the season to be jolly

Thank you for sharing Grace's song on your video. I went to her channel and listened to the whole song and it helped me get over something that I've been having a hard time with on top of other things. It almost broke me. Thank you for helping me smile today ☺
You're welcome. Her music is amazing and I'm very happy it was able to help you with some tough times.
I've gift wrapped all my life,so it's nice to see this some news ideas I'm sure everyone will be happy to wrap.❤
I wish my life was as put together as these presents
Great hacks! For the TP roll, you CAN wrap it with paper, just glue around the tube AFTER you score it but BEFORE you push the ends in (I’d make sure the wrap is completely adhered to the roll). Once you fold the ends in, the paper will do what the tube does☺️
This whole video changed my life. I wish I'd seen this yesterday when I was struggling to wrap my presents 😂😭
Good thing about it is you'll celebrate plenty of holidays and birthdays to apply these tips! ua-cam.com/video/iPHAZhO4h98/v-deo.html
Sarah Thao Stop lying 😠😤
Another year, another rewatch of this video. Merry Christmas everyone!
Good video! It would have been nice if you showed us how you decided how much paper to cut in the first place. I sometimes get stuck there. Also, the corners are harder to flush than what’s shown. It takes practice and it depends on the size and shape of the gift. Overall, very helpful :)
What I do to make sure I have enough paper. Before cutting the paper from the roll. I put my gift in the center, and make sure there’s enough to cover both sides. I hope this helps.
Get the wrapping paper with the squares on the back, put your gift on the paper and then fold the paper alittle over half way on the gift, then you count the squares it took on the side that isnt covered (leave the gift on the paper while you do this) and then just cut the same amount off on the other side.
i think 3 times the width + 2 times the height is how long the diagonal needs to be
Bring it on. I'll be rocking them Christmas gifts wrapping this year.
That pringle tube also would be perfect for gifting homemade cookies!
Literally watch this every 🥲
