This one isn’t so much a gift, but a hunting ground for great presents.
I took this photo on my first wife’s birthday in February 2016.
I can’t recall what I actually gave her for her birthday but on this occasion, it’s the thought that counts, aye.
Following on from an amazing gift (#2), I decided to spoil my first wife with the cream to the cake for which she had already been gifted.
I do feel though that I let my gift wrapping skill slip drastically with the presentation but this gift did give her alternative option for those more tired days.
Guess you could call this one ‘a gift of leisure’.
The wrapping is a mix of tie down straps for my trailer and a photo edit squiggly colour thing to for the ribbon effect.
Answer: To put y’all out of your misery, the shape underneath the wrappings in #3 Gifts for my first wife was a… lawn mower. I know right… 😉
Any idea what this one might be though…?
My first wife’s birthday is in February.
In February, 2014 my first wife was pretty fit.
With this birthday gift I figured she was actually getting two gifts in one… the actual thing under the wrapping and the fact it’s also a form of gym equipment and therefore assisted in keeping her fit.
Answer: To put y’all out of your misery, the shape underneath the wrappings in #2 Gifts for my first wife was a vacuum cleaner. I know right… 😉

Gift wrapping for my first wife is without doubt one of my superpowers.
In these early gift wrapping days, I was definitely still finding my feet.
In fact, if I wasn’t actually living my life; like you know in actual real life, I could easily be forgiven for thinking I was a mutant in the original X-Men movie where I was discovering my superpower.
This gift was gifted to my first wife with devoted love for Christmas 2013.
Answer: To put y’all out of your misery, the shapes underneath the wrappings in #1 Gifts for my first wife were… a frying pan and an iron. I know right… 😉

Some would think my first wife is the luckiest sheila in the whole wide world and hell, I see no reason to argue that point. She may though; but she is very well versed in arguing.
For those that follow me on Facebook, over the years you would’ve seen these pics come up on your feed. They now even have their own aptly titled album ‘Gifts for my Wife’.
These aren’t new presents but a collection of some of my finer moments utilising a wrapping skillset that many can only dream of.
I often hear ‘it’s the thought that counts’, but I’m more of a ‘its the wrapping efforts that count’ sort of guy.
From memory, this is my first attempt and looking at the pics I now see why I chose these… at this stage of my ‘gift wrapping skills apprenticeship’ I was still very much the equivalent of a home handyman finding his feet.
So without further ado I present the first in a collection of short blogs dedicated to this artform, so ta-daaaa….
