My first couple wrap jobs came out wonderfully! But now when I wrap, it seems like my clumisness transfers to my wrapping. It's not a BAD wrap job, but I wouldn't say it's a pretty one either! Do you care if you end up with a packaged book that looks like a 3 year old wrapped it as long as it's protected? |

I don't give a hoot how the book gets to me, as long as it gets to me and it's still in the condition it was when it left the sender. Last Edited on: 8/20/08 5:15 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Yay! That's great to know. I just feel bad that it's like....really ugly when it leaves here! LOL |

I just pretend I'm wrapping a present and it seems to go fairly smoothly. I personally don't care what it looks like when I receive it as long as it is intact and not damaged! |

Leslie, Leslie, Leslie....You have never received a present from me. I am horrible at wrapping presents!! Everyone always teases me. "Looks like this one was wrapped by Colleen." Ah, oh well. I can't be good at EVERYTHING. ;) |

Colleen-- Heh, I hope neatness doesn't count, because I inevitably end up wrinkling the tape or getting "help" from one of our cats when wrapping. You have cats too -- just blame it on them :-) One tip a number of users have mentioned when wrapping is to be sure that you have no loose edges -- flaps, etc -- which could catch on postal machinery and lead to "book consumption" by said machinery. As long as everything is securely taped down, you should be fine. Cheers, Catt |

I don't care what it looks like as long as it gets to me in good shape. Some people have bad hair days, the other just have bad tape days. Lol. |

Hey... we should be judging a book by the cover (or the wrapping) anyway : ) So don't even give it a second thought. I am always so keen to open the books I don't notice wrapping. |

I have had to change my wrapping material of choice due to the costs. I went to the poly bags (10 cents a piece) after using Tyvek for the last 6 months. I prefer the Tyvek. I cut the Large Tyvek envelopes down the long sides and then use it like wrapping paper for presents. That worked well - until I used up all my envelopes. So now I'm using the poly. I'm not as happy with these. They are tear resistant and wet resistant like Tyvek, but if a sharp object crosses paths with it - the poly will slice like butter. Tyvek is a little tougher. So I'm still looking for a deal if anyone find any. The poly bags are making me a bad wrapper. I have to tape down all the loose flaps and material...and it ends up looking like a balled up sock. - sort of. I just hope none of it gets caught up in the machinery. I haven't heard back from the people I sent books to in these bags. I hope I don't hear that they arrived sliced up! Ruth |
