As the holiday season approaches, a new video demonstrating a supposedly “easier” method for wrapping gifts is taking social media by storm. This viral sensation is actually a spin-off of another popular video, designed to break down the original technique into simpler steps. Given all the chatter surrounding this, we felt it was essential to investigate for ourselves. Spoiler alert: our gift-wrapping skills still leave much to be desired.
Japanese department store Takashimaya has gained viral fame multiple times for their innovative and, they claim, foolproof gift-wrapping method. They assert that their process can be completed in just 15 seconds. While that may hold true for a seasoned expert, it feels quite daunting for a frazzled parent trying to wrap gifts after a few glasses of wine. Check out their instructional video, which has captivated over 14 million viewers, to see what the hype is all about.
Honestly, is anyone else feeling as confused as we are? Those hands move at lightning speed, while our scissors continually snag on the paper, leaving tape strewn across our leggings. Can someone please slow it down a bit?
Enter a very patient YouTuber named Sam Roberts, who offers a much more user-friendly approach. After witnessing the chaos from our end, he produced a tutorial that breaks down the process with clearer explanations and considerably less frantic hand movements. Watching him made us feel a little more at ease.
However, let’s be real here: if you’re like me and struggle with angles, you’ll still find it challenging. But at least Sam’s pacing allows us to absorb the information without feeling overwhelmed. With the original video, there’s no way we could pull off that 15-second miracle.
It’s worth noting that Sam’s video primarily focuses on wrapping standard rectangular boxes. As a parent who’s had to manage gifts in all sorts of quirky shapes—think bulky superhero figures or those oddly-sized Hatchimal boxes—I can’t help but wonder: is there a quick wrapping hack for those? Because that would truly amaze us.
Actually, there is! You could master the art of wrapping rectangular boxes like a pro, or you could take a shortcut with my time-saving method that’s bound to become a favorite: gift bags and tissue paper.
