This is NOT a joke. This is actually how my dad wrapped a wedding gift! Can you believe this????

My step-mom and he got in such an argument about it. He insisted there was absolutely nothing wrong with his choice of gift wrap...

I know I know, she should be happy he's even willing to wrap a gift, but ...

Pulleeeze, TOOLS??????

It was a beautiful set of silverware my step-mom ordered. The gift is for the daughter of a business associate.

Oh my, could you imagine if you hadn't rewrapped it? No wonder Ms. E was upset! And Emily, it is very *special*, isn't it? LOL

Very interesting and very manly! LOL Hey, at least he tried, right?

By Emily7 on Friday, July 9, 2004 - 11:23 pm:

He did try, but maybe he shouldn't have! LOL

I love it!

My SIL makes my brother wrap most of the gifts. For all the birthdays my kids and his kids usually get their presents in a Wal-mart bag. For christmas he usually wraps them...the paper is wrinkled or doesn't fit, he doesn't tuck and fold, he doesn't line it up at all it is just so funny...it fits him.

OMG. That's too funny. They really think making the outside of a gift pretty is stupid.

I like it too. We got a really good power cord as a wedding present from a male friend. My husband loved it! He uses it for all the important projects.

But I guess since this gift had silverware in it.... should have been a power cord!

LOL I remember the time my ex (then dh) wrapped our Christmas presents in newspaper! I was so embarassed, but his family didn't seem to notice (probably used to it, LOL) My dh doesn't go near the wrapping paper, but if he did, I'm sure it would look like your photo!
