I have many domestic inadequacies…

I can’t iron, I loathe house cleaning and my laundry folding skills would have me fired from any retail shop — for proof look at my linen closet.

And I’m not craftsy. I know that’s not a word… but you know what I mean. I can’t sew, I don’t scrapbook, I don’t hand-make cards. (I leave that stuff to Janice.) Heck, I can’t even wrap a gift nicely.

But now I can worry less about that last fault.

Hallmark figured it out. They’ve revolutionalized wrapping. With their new Adhesive Gift Wrap even I can wrap a gift like a pro. The paper has a special coating that sticks firmly to packages so that it is easy to create a smooth, perfectly wrapped present.

And wow, it is easy and fast. Two key features for me.

Yesterday was Julia’s third birthday and I had hid at Janice’s house a stack of presents tall enough to spoil any little girl. Being the busy work-at-home mom that I am, I left the wrapping to the last moment and ran over to Janice’s to quickly wrap ‘em up.

After I dug through Janice’s drawers to find a roll of sticky-tape (as Dora calls it), and fumbled through wrapping the first present, Janice called out, “Wait… you can test out this Hallmark Adhesive wrapping paper.”

So I used the new paper and motored through wrapping the rest of Julia’s gifts in record time.The resulting stack of pretty pink packages looked fantastic.

It was a little strange to have such a common task that I’ve done the same way for so many years suddenly change. Here, watch this video and see what I mean. It’s oddly simple. You don’t even use tape.

Since I was late pulling everything together for her little party, I didn’t get a photo of all the gifts neatly wrapped… but here’s a shot of Julia tearing into one.

Julia’s Third Birthday

Don’t take my word for it, try the paper yourself. Thanks to Hallmark, we’ve got six prize packs to give away. Each of our six lucky winners will receive a set of eight rolls, along with matching ribbon.

    I prefer wrapping gifts than putting them in gift bags so this would be great.

    Another one of those, ‘why didn’t I think of that’ moments. This is a really neat idea. I wonder how sticky it really is. I worry that it may leave a residue or something on the gift. Who knows. I’d love to try it though. Please enter my name in the draw!

    I would love to work in a gift shop but the thought of wrapping all those gifts leaves me cold. I usually need help at Christmastime so people give me gift bags as I hate to wrap so much. This would help immensely.
