Wrapping up presents.

Sometimes it is as much a treat as the present itself, and sometimes you know it doesn't matter because the present is the thing. I wrapped my sister's birthday present up by holding it behind my back last Saturday. Reasoning (or excusing my laziness) that she had asked for the Wicked soundtrack, and if I wrapped it up she would see that it was CD shaped and know straight away anyway, so the behind-my-back-wrapping was actually more surprising and special.

The most povvo gift-wrap is the bag you bought it in. I like to think that sticky-taping the bag around the present is like wrapping the present, but saving on paper and better for the environment.
