I've just done battle with a portable garden hose trolley and several metres of wrapping paper. What's the weirdest shape you have had to wrap?
(like this, and it didn't come in a box 
)
There's the item, the gift wrap, and the recipient.
Conventional thinking goes that the item is wrapped, and presented to the recipient, who then removes the gift wrap.
I prefer to make a blindfold from the gift wrap, blindfold the recipient, then ask them to remove the gift wrap so that they can see the item.
It saves me a lot of work. 
We've just wrapped a 9 litre gas bottle for a friend who has just bought a barbeque, but didn't remember to get what was needed to drive it. She will be thrilled ...

You got her a man with an apron and a set of tongs?
Many, many years ago when I was still at school, I had a holiday job working in a small gift shop before Xmas. A customer bought one of these and asked me to gift wrap it for him.....
We had this little girl in a box with a big red ribbon. Its a bit hard to carry a box with an excited puppy in it!
80cm long. Looks like the flying nun. No idea why my husband bought it for me 
At least I didn't have to wrap it lol.
Not sure if the crack is after I hit him over the head with it.
* I didn't really. Nice timber. Just not to my taste. Goes down as one of those gifts.
