Wrapping made easy

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Different Christmas, same struggle. You negotiate your way through busy high street stores in the quest to secure that special present for a loved one. Eureka! You've made it home, with everything ticked off the list. Time for a cuppa.

With the hard work complete, it’s time to switch off. Wrapping? That can wait; I’m too busy listening to Boney M’s Mary’s Boy / Oh My Lord on repeat.

Days roll by and we continue to put it off. Thoughts like “can I get away without doing it?” and “the kids are too old, anyway” start to creep in. And it’s not because of laziness but confusion – how on earth do I wrap that?

Well, that problem exists no more. Thanks to the internet, there will be no lame excuses as to why Father Christmas did not wrap this year.

There are hundreds of how-to guides on YouTube and in the video above we have complied the most helpful.
