This wrapper won't get shot or thrown in jail

I hate wrapping presents. A LOT. It doesn't make sense to me that the presentation of a gift matters even close to as much as the gift itself or, more importantly, the intention behind it in the first place. Consequently, I rarely wrap things. Although I frequently give gifts, they're usually just the gift, without a lot of style. Whatever, I'm sleeping fine tonight.

Case is point: I got my five year old niece Romina a birthday gift and mailed it to her today. It was a book about kindergarten and how wonderful school is, with big letters that she can sound out since she's learning to read, in case you were wondering. For some reason I felt obligated to wrap it, so I threw it in the middle of some newspaper and 30 seconds and a flurry of scotch tape later, I had wrapped it. Done and done. I’m guessing my niece won’t bother looking at this wrapping any longer than she does the superficial covering on her other gifts.
