Top gift-giving tips for the thrifty.

• Fun - Free - Funky

In an effort to reduce the tedium and predictability of boredom inducing gift wrap, many solutions spring to mind. Firstly, there is actually some good-looking wrap out there if you can be bothered to explore further than your local Cards Galore. There’s the pun based ‘Rapping Paper’ that features classic hip-hop album covers. No longer available because, you know, copyright. There’s those fantastic looking kits where, with just 45minutes, 2 tubes of Pritt-stick and the patience of Muther Teressa you can do up your parcel to look like a cute puppy complete with tail and floppy ears. No longer available because, you know, who has 45 minutes. There’s the DIY classic, wrap your gift in paper torn from your pre-loved pornographic magazine. No longer available because, you know, the internet ruined that industry.

But – Fear Not – Modern stuff and nonsense to the rescue after all. You are probably aware of the numerous brands of virtue signalling bog roll currently doing the rounds in your local organic grocery store and Instagram? Yeah, I know, its stuff of nightmares – but very popular none the less due to tik-tok and wot-not. And every single roll comes complete with a free sheet of gift wrap! I shit you not – rather than chucking that fancy patterned outer wrapper down the bog, simple reuse to wrap gifts. Depending on your bowl movements that’s enough crapping wrapping paper to see you through Christmas.
