does anyone know how

get rid of sticky labels? You know, the sort which you can scrub at all afternoon with hot soapy water but never come off. I know there are some solvernts that you can buy, but I need to do it quickly and I can't go out now.

wd40 usually works

white spirit? Meths?

nail varnish remover

Sometimes nail polish remover works. But careful to test a bit first on what you're using it on; you don't want to do more harm than good. It can sort of melt some plastics.

Wd40, let it soak in and then wipe off with kitchen roll.

Use a scraper for stubborn bits.

fantastic, thank you all so much!

WD40 did the trick. 30 seconds of soaking and DD2s birthday present is ready to be wrapped by DD1.
thank you all for yout help!
