In an engaging twist just in time for the holiday season, a viral video demonstrating a supposedly easier method for wrapping gifts has captured the attention of many online. This clip is actually a follow-up to another viral sensation, designed to break down the technique and slow it down for viewers. The buzz surrounding this content prompted us to investigate, but spoiler alert: we are still terrible at wrapping gifts.
Japanese retailer Takashimaya has gained popularity with its innovative and allegedly foolproof gift-wrapping technique, claiming it can be accomplished in just 15 seconds. While this may seem plausible for someone skilled in the art of wrapping, it’s a rather ambitious goal for a mom trying to tackle her gift list after a few glasses of wine. Their original instructional video has garnered over 14 million views, stirring up quite the conversation.
Goodness! Is anyone else feeling as bewildered as we are? Those hands are moving at lightning speed, while our scissors seem to get stuck in the paper, and tape is scattered everywhere — it’s enough to make anyone want to scream for a pause button.
Enter a helpful tutorial from YouTube user JamieCrafts, who has clearly heard the collective frustration of viewers. His approach is more methodical, allowing us to breathe a little easier as we follow along. While the technique may still seem daunting for those of us who struggle with angles and measurements, Jamie’s clearer instructions make it somewhat manageable. That said, the original video’s promise of wrapping a gift in 15 seconds seems utterly unrealistic.
However, Jamie’s guide only addresses the wrapping of perfectly rectangular boxes. As a parent who has battled with a variety of odd-shaped gifts, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a quick method for wrapping bulkier items like action figures or those uniquely-shaped toy boxes. Now that would be impressive.
As it turns out, there is! You can master wrapping rectangular gifts like a pro, or you might just want to try my secret time-saving gift-wrapping method: gift bags and tissue paper.
