I’m obsessed with giving good presents to people, and I won’t brag, but I’ve never had someone return a gift. Not only do I love giving gifts, I also love wrapping gifts. You can call me DJ Gift Wrap, I guess. It really irks me when people have wonderful gifts that are wrapped poorly. Like, put in some effort, people!
Another thing that irks me is how overpriced wrapping paper is. I mean, it’s outrageous. It’s paper. There’s no reason it should be so expensive.
