I learned from a dear friend, Shanna, how to wrap gifts using hot glue instead of tape. Some of my recipients don't really appreciate the immaculate wrapping because a jackhammer is sometimes needed to actually get to the gift.

Mailing a wrapped gift poses the problem of how to keep the gift looking great during shipping.

Oh, yes! There's more! Wait for it...wait for it...To be continued.
