Naked? Gift wrap cannot be used as a verb I don't believe, so how does one use "naked" to wrap it? I guess that since "wrap" can be used a verb, some people may extend the same to "gift wrap," but that seems silly to me.PurpleRain said:-Naked

Not really, it's actually quite easy.Bright_Raven said:with great difficulty.
Depends on how anal you are about creases in wrapping paper. If I wrap something you know I wrapped it.nilcypher said:Not really, it's actually quite easy.Bright_Raven said:with great difficulty.

Same way I am, if I wrap something, I want it to look damn good, but the snag is that I am utterly terrible at wrapping gifts, and often fail at it after a while of effort. =PMolikroth said:Depends on how anal you are about creases in wrapping paper.

Where do you work? o.0Bright_Raven said:i handle pineapples at work, the people who wrap them "in clear plastc" suck at it, and it would split the paper (sharp and pointy)
This is a good way of presenting it but the surprise is gone.Labyrinth said:Screw boxes, get some ribbon and put a series of bows around the base of the leaves, then put it in a gift bag.
This is always fun, my friends try and make their gifts as hard to open as possible (it once took my friend 2 and a half hours to open her gift and it ended up being a concert ticket, often the journey is better than the end result) so get a big box and create an intriquate contraption to house the pinneapple so that when they finall get the gift they are so shocked that it's something that simple.Your.Name.Here said:Build their expectations with a huge box, then watch them be crushed when they see it's a pineapple, I'd do it (which is another reason not to do it).
I volunteer for this, if the OP is interested.The Iron Ninja said:Ooh Ooh! Cut a jagged line into the top, wrap it in a blanket, put it in a basket, get a really big guy with a beard to leave it on their doorstep, with explicit instructions to speed off on his motorcyle as soon as they open the door.
Ten years later, get him to come back looking for Harry Pineapple, and imagine the fear in their eyes when they have to explain what happened to him.
