My friend and I recently debated over the presentation of presents. For her, the cover is not important. She tend to wrap everything with newspaper or drawing paper. For me, I need ribbon, gift wrap or box. With ribbon. The bigger and the softer the better. Last Christmas, I spent almost $100 for gift wraps alone. I mean, seriously, it was Christmas and everyone would be more excited to see presents that are wrapped nicely. Come on, if you want to give something, give it perfectly. I mean, that's pour moi.

It's just like a good phrase to start a book. Or like a hug, you know. When you have known someone for a period of time, you just need to hug that person when you're about to part. To end something in a good mood (The last part is not entirely true. I'm just a touchy feely person - yeah I know that's irritating).

If your present sucks, at least the wrapping is good. If the present sucks and the wrapping sucks, you suck.

Besides, it a way to be appreciative.

NO. I don't buy that wrapping paper kills forests and things. I'd wear fur and I cannot live without aircon. I'll stop eating meat and will start to use candle. I use recycling bags and papers and have no objections in taking electric car - however unglamorous that is. But not for the first three.
