As the holiday season approaches, a captivating video showcasing a “simplified” gift-wrapping technique has gone viral across social media. Interestingly, this video builds upon another popular one, designed to slow down the process for those of us who struggle with wrapping gifts. With all the chatter surrounding it, we decided to dive in and see what all the fuss is about. Spoiler alert: our wrapping skills still need serious improvement.
Japanese department store Takashimaya has made waves online multiple times with their quick and supposedly foolproof gift-wrapping method, claiming it can be done in just 15 seconds. While that might be doable for an expert, it’s quite the challenge for a frazzled parent who’s had a bit too much wine. If you want to see their original video, which has racked up over 14 million views, you can check it out and witness the chaos.
Honestly, are we the only ones who feel utterly lost? Those hands move so fast, while we’re still stuck trying to cut the paper without snagging it, ending up with tape everywhere! Enter a much more patient young man’s tutorial from YouTube user JamieCrafty. He must have sensed the collective frustration as we tossed our phones in despair, and his slower, more detailed approach is a breath of fresh air.
Now, while his method is almost understandable, it’s still a bit of a puzzle if you’re like me and get flustered with angles and measurements. The original video may have promised a 15-second miracle, but let’s be real—ain’t nobody finishing that in record time.
However, Jamie’s video only covers how to wrap a perfectly rectangular box. As a parent who’s tackled everything from bulky superhero figures to oddly-shaped Hatchimals, I can’t help but wonder—what’s the secret for wrapping those tricky gifts? If you ask me, the ultimate time-saving tip is to skip the fuss altogether and reach for gift bags and tissue paper.
