??? How to wrap a gift for a, special someone ???

[piemadd]

So, I bought I girl I like a record for her Birthday (whatever album Halsey was just on tour for). School starts up again this Monday, and I need a good way to wrap it. Do I just use wrapping paper and play it simple? Add a bow? Use a bag instead? Thanks for any suggestions!

Yep red bow with white wrapping paper.

I think you just tear the package, remove the condom, and then roll it down on the appropriate object. I could be wrong though, so exercise extreme caution. 

[Drak3]

First, you put the record in a box. Then put that box inside of another box. And then put that box in a larger box. Send it to yourself in the post, and when it arrives, smash it with a hammer!

 

 

 

This concludes Yzma's guide on giving presents.

Note to self: Don't ask fellow techies how to wrap gifts.

Put it in like 20 boxes, each inside the next one

Instructions unclear. Smashed a condom, within a box, within another box, within a third larger box, with a hammer after sending it to myself in the post.

Good idea!

Better idea: Use AES-256!

Bad idea. Let a Drak3 loose in an off topic thread.

Instructions unclear; when tearing the package, blood came out. Do I install the condom before or after Step 1? Also, I'm feeling faint. What do?

A craft store by me always has these types of boxes in all kinds of sizes (the bow is already attached and appears wrapped). They look really nice and require zero effort.

And just so I don't feel out of place in this thread, you can easily cut a hole in the box.

We're trying to figure out what "paper" is and what kind of silicon it uses. 

[LienusLateTips]

You're probably overthinking it. Probably just get something simple & elegant (doesn't need to be fancy) but just make sure it's done really nicely. 

 

E.g. if wrapping paper, make sure no random folds everywhere, cuts are straight.

or if it's a bag, make sure it isn't folded and make sure to add that paper stuff to the top (forget what the name is).

 

Or

 

1. Get a big cardboard box (#1) with the 2 flaps at the bottom. Stick the record into the part between the 2 flaps. Camouflage with cardboard.
2. Get a big box (#2) with a small box inside, with a small box inside, with a small box inside, etc.
3. Put #2 in #1
4. Seal
5. Watch as Girl opens box after box
6. Watch as Girl sees nothing
7. Watch as Girl gets angry for getting nothing
8. Tell her that something is still in there

        Then, it can split in 2 different trees.

1. Looks, finds record, gets super annoyed but you gained bonding experience. Get reputation for "thoughtful" gifts.
2. Looks, gets angry, leaves. No more Girl .

[NoRomanBatmansAllowed]

OK, just thought of another great idea. 

 

So relationships are based on bonding experiences, yes? 

So what we need to do is create a slight problem for you and future SO to combat together.

 

Introducing, the puzzle piece challenge.

 

All you need to do is follow 3 easy steps:

1. Take your record and carefully carve it into 10-15 pieces, more if you are ballsy.
2. Stack together & wrap with paper, give to SO.
3. Spend quality time putting record back together.
