Who else hates it?

I've just spent 2 hours of my life wrapping presents that will take seconds to open

Missus wraps everything thing up then does this thing with a ribbon where she goes all round the present makes a big bow and display on the top of the present

Shes just wrapped 2 family's worth of presents up and it took her about 4 hours all in over the weekend. Fine by me, 4 hours uninterrupted CoD

Although I seem to have lost one of her present somewhere in the house and I cant find it even though Ive looked 99% everywhere

Nah she loves christmas, so actually enjoys it, I just buy the paper and sellotape and leave her to it

edit - and she was whinging I hadnt bought her any xmas presents yet when we together had finished the whole 2 families. So she went to work and I spent 10 minutes on Tesco Entertainment and La Senza and shes now sorted, apart from the present thats lost in the house somewhere

I don't mind wrapping them.

I know my fiancee loves opening them, and seeing her face as she does, so its not really a big deal to me.

Cut a load of selotape stripes, and watch TV whislt you do it. But then im really good at wrapping so its fairly easy for me.

Bugger wrapping them Tom - just spray them - adds an element of surprise to it then and will take a lot longer to reveal what it is lol.

You should all send your stuff to me and I'll do it for you, I am the Daddy at it, although I do wrap all the main prezzies up in such a way that you can't open them very easily, just so I can watch people squirm with anticipation.

Selotape all the seals up so they can't unpeel them and they can't rip the paper as is nice and tight

I wouldn't do that

I did that too. Xbox game in the biggest box I could find!

Also boxes inside boxes!

I don't mind wrapping really, it's the shopping part I hate!
