Check out our shortcuts to make wrapping a doddle!
Last year we used almost 96,000 miles of wrapping paper in the UK in the run up to Christmas Day, yet if the thought of wrapping all your Christmas presents brings you out in a cold sweat don't worry, we have the perfect cheats to make your preparations run like clockwork.
If you have an awkward shaped gift like a mug, use flexible wrapping - layer a few sheets of cellophane and tissue paper and tie in the middle with a ribbon - it looks great every time and with any shaped gift!
Wrapping paper and gift tags needn't cost a fortune. Why not try wrapping your gifts in brown paper decorated with some paint and stamps? A brown post office label can make a chic name tag and a decorated brown paper bag can house any strange shaped gifts.
Add to the impact of any wrapped gift by decorating with old tree decorations, even ones you've made yourself.
Never forget that a collection of beautifully wrapped presents under the tree adds to the anticipation of Christmas morning so try and match the theme of the gift wrapping to the decorations you've used on the tree.
