I've just wrapped two bicycles

[wallyfeatures]

I'd like a round of applause, but DH is refusing to acknowledge my great skill.

Congratulations! I've cheated and wrapped a scooter in its box

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I wrapped 2 bicycles 2 years ago. I got some big bags for the very purpose from Halfords.

Picture or it didn't happen.

Seeing as you clearly have superior experience of wrapping bikes

Can you come to me right now and wrap the one here please !!!!!

I haven't wrapped DH's; it's a bit big

But my brother is putting it on the deck for when we arrive with a big bow on it!

Above and beyond the call of duty! The classic is to toss them in the shed/garage and then get the kid/s to go and fetch something from there.

Another one here who's wrapped a scooter in a box

I'm wrapping a bike and a dolls house which has been a bastard to build and is about 4 foot tall.

I've wrapped feck all the kids are still awake I'm sick I'm tired and they can't sleep

Posted this on a different Xmas thread but my parents wrapped a bike up for me one year and I heard the little bell ring - 7 year old me was convinced it was reindeers! Even when I was old enough to know Santa wasn't real, it kept that doubt in my mind because I was SO convinced I'd heard the bells. Only in my teens I overheard my mum telling people how cute it was in the morning when I told her I heard him did it all make sense!!

Wow well done OP
pictures please

Oh no, I haven’t wrapped DD’s bike, just a bow. Should I get wrapping now?!

I bought two massive Father Christmas balloons when we bought dts bikes. Saved a lot of pain. Respect op!

Another one here with a scooter in a box. Well done op! I'm a bit worried DD is so expecting her scooter she'll be disappointed not to see it straight away and won't realise it's I'm a box?? Am not second guessing myself and wondering if I should have put it together and propped it up but am at dm's for xmas and don't have the Santa wrapping paper here... Will just drink more prosecco...

I need to wrap a drum set in a little while.....

Respect. I always chickened out and things like that (bike, scooter, dolls house) were wrapped in a christmassy fleece acquired for the occasion (we've still got them now)

@Shahlalala a bow is just perfect!

DD (5) new bike is in the back garden...under the parasol from the pub. Now I realise how that sounds...it's a long long story...
I haven't wrapped it! I haven't got the paper or the stamina tbh. I'm bloody exhausted. Eldest DD (9) is still awake and I've got to assemble everything. Some of it is in the bloody car! It was easier when they were younger!

I can't even wrap regular boxes.

How?!

I've got to put together a Hotwheels mega garage thing, with no instructions. Drunk.

Well done.

Dh had that task a couple of years ago and the second we walked into the living room on Christmas morning ds just deadpannedly said ‘that’s a bike’.

Wasn’t one of the most special unwrapping we’ve had!

Sorry, but you've blown your cover. You're really that wrapping elf from Arthur Christmas masquerading as a Mumsnetter, aren't you?

During my trip to the bike shop for my DD bday I discoverd ...... Giant gift bags that cover bikes 😂
