Darrel, can’t help you with the presents, but can help with the book covers. http://www.amazon.com/Stretchable-Book-Covers-J... these work great.

You can buy cans of spray paint, hire a gang member with spray experience, and he’ll do a great job on cardboard boxes. They can even spray paint a bow. Just don’t ask for rap in a can, they’ll turn on some music and start rap’n into a garbage can, and start a new craze.

Fairin,

JUst get one of those VACUME sealed bags for blankets and put stickers and ribbons all over it then ….

SUCK the air right out of it….

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA LLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

hahahahhahahahaaaaaa

seal a meal….i mean present… :)))))

Kevin, Merry Christmas to you as well. I might just have been willing to give this invention a whirl but my wife would seriously call me lazy and slap me in my bald head.

I have submitted (a few times, haha) an innovative solution for this problem a number of times, in fact it is in one right now. It’s a slam-dunk! I just don’t see why EN doesn’t get it. haha, j/k on that last snipe, but I do have one in, and it’s one of my very first official innovations, but I imagine I need to do something further to polish it up a bit, but it will solve the age-old problem. One bit of info, or trend that I wonder holds it back is the rise of the gift card, and less traditional gifts to wrap. Hmmmmm.

Happy Xmas Darrel! …EDIT…(and Laura)..and…

He he he, I hear ya. I haven’t wrapped anything yet and I’ve got 3 kids worth on top of everyone else. :-O. Wanna share that Jack? Lol

Damn, wish I saw that lol.

I saw a reusable wrap on QVC a couple weeks ago. It had a ladys name and it was made of a sheer stretchy material, with a bow, you just slide it over the box or gift. I forget the name. I wanted to buy it, it looked awesome
