Listening to DH wrapping my presents and I think he’s got me a live lobster

[WhenisitmyturntobePM]

It’s the only explanation. So far I’ve heard:

What the bugger….?
Breathe, just breathe…
1….. 2….. 3….. 4
Right I’m not wrapping it. I’m just not.
Arrrrrggggghhhhh

And the best…. ‘Fuckinora!’

I’ve offered to help but it didn’t go down well.

For context, we usually get each other about 3 presents and he’s been wrapping for an hour.

🦞🎄🦞🎄🦞🎄🦞

I think fuckinora is now being added onto my swear word list.

I'm shamelessly place marking because I need to know what it is.

P.S if it's a lobster 🦞 you need to make it your pet,call it pinchy,fatter it up and then accidentally boil in the bath tub and then eat it with lashings of butter in the style of Homer Simpson.

For unusual shaped present I usually get tissue paper and pack balls of it around the gift until it is a ball shape.

I then get a large piece of tissue or wrapping paper and use it like you would make a filo pastry parcel and finish with a riobbon.

I had three climbing harnesses to wrap this year. DH saw me wrapping the third one and showed me how to fold the blasted things up so there's no straps hanging everywhere.

DD2 has the best solution though... she keeps shoeboxes especially for this situation. Any awkward shape item goes in the shoebox and she wraps that. Shes 9yo.

Also I'm very impressed this year with DD1s wrapping of a cheese grater!

😂

Merry Christmas you lot.

I'm here for the grand reveal..

I'm a tissue paper and bow gal for those awkward ones. But don't tell your Dh though 😂😂

I reckon it's something round...

So a prawn platter.....

My dd (adult) has got my ds a teepee!! Imagine trying to wrap that!

Printed tin-foil. Ready for next year @WhenisitmyturntobePM .

Wrapped presents, drank eggnog and watched It's a Wonderful Life to pass time while I wait for you to OPEN YOUR PRESENT!!!

😁

Placemarking
I'm almost more invested in this than in my own presents

@WhenisitmyturntobePM Wakey wakey!

I've been awake since bloody 3am. There's only so many times you can refresh the screen before RSI sets in. 🦞🎁

Following for the big reveal 🤣

Has he not heard of gift bags 😂

I'm late to the party but can't wait to find out if Nora is a lobster!

Here for the update...

Wonder what it is...

By now, a very angry lobster. 🦞😹

Happy Christmas

Waiting for the reveal!

I believe Fuckinora is a coastal town in northern Japan famous for seafood. He's bought you a sushi making set OP.

Here for the Christmas lobster reveal!

I am signing in from abroad just to see what was it at the end! I suspect however he may have tried to wrap it in that new fashion of making folds circulating in Instagram…. I could have killed someone last week after trying so hard to wrap a present just to end up packing it with the crushed paper in a traditional way…
