I can't wrap worth crap. I just got done doing it well enough to at least hide everything on there with a good 62 strips of tape or so on a large one...

Though I've tried many times, I can't wrap anything...at all. The most I could probably come up with is a present that looks as if it's already been open

I have to go with "It's wrapped, at least..." If I spend enough time on it, it turns out looking at least acceptable, I think.

Wrapping is an art, and I am no artist.

I'd have to say the same thing. The small boxes are okay for me but when we get up to wrapping a 20 or 30 lb., 3 foot by 1 foot box...then we have issues.

I am wrapping impaired. I can program complex programs, resolve various parts of shapes down to their perimeters, areas, and various pieces, but I cannot seemingly wrap a gift to save my life.

I can eventually get an item covered in wrapping paper- with the bonus that the item's shape will, thanks to the wrapping job, be entirely unrecognizable...

Barely... Horrible looking and overly done, but functional. Looks like a square blob when I'm done.

Actually, I'm pretty good at wrapping presents.
It's a skill I learned when I was about 10. I was the only good present wrapper i knew, so I wrapped presents for everybody.
(I don't do it any more, so I'm not sure if I'm still good at it. I remember how to do it for sure, though.)

I can if I take my time and do it well, but if I do it how I usually do it, it usually takes a few rolls of tape and takes about twice as long to unwrap than it did to wrap in the first place

I can semi-wrap stuff. However, I don't do it much because my Mom wraps most gifts when I'm out.

I can cover it in paper and tape until you can't see what it is anymore. That counts as wrapping, I guess.

I can't wrap anyhing at all . Most of the time, it looks like if a dog got a hold of the present and started tearing it apart. I use a lot of tape and it rarely looks like a present.

People don't like to unwrap presents from me. Apparently they look too pretty. >>; I think I probably spend as much time wrapping a present as I do choosing one. XD

I've never had to wrap anything really big though, so I dunno how that'd go. o.O

I can wrap things, and they don't look like crap, but that's the extent of my wrapping prowess. Most things are square-ish anyway, so they don't take much effort.
