How to wrap your Christmas gifts like a pro

Thought you knew how to wrap a Christmas present? You’ve probably been doing it all wrong, as this video demonstrates

When it comes to Christmas chores that nobody really wants to do, wrapping presents is at the top of many people’s lists. This is possibly because we find this seemingly straightforward task so difficult and frustrating.

If only we could wrap our gifts like a professional, with crisp edges, sharp corners, and no gaps where we underestimated the amount of paper required for the task.

The trick appears to be to place the gift at an angle of 45 degrees to the paper before wrapping it, and always apply a small amount of sticky tape after the first fold.

Of course, wrapping a rectangular present is all very well.
