Yeah, still November. But you're going to be wrapping gifts soon enough. Right? I suck at it and should I happen to luck out and get it right, it's a fluke. And it's a rare fluke. One of the items I bought my weef this year is an inversion table and it has come in this really big box. I have to keep it in the man-cave until the tree is set up. I had no idea. And I have no idea on how to go about wrapping this gift in a respectable and presentable way. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spray paint it green and slap a bow on it.
Problem solved.

I don't know where you are, but I have gotten giant wrapping paper at Sam's Club or Costco.
Or this, going around a few times?

Annie, I have both places. So you're saying I have to lug this thing to a G-damn store to get this done? And THEN, I have to get it back in the house without tearing the wrapping up.. if it comes down to that, I will do it. But I won't be in a Christmassy mood afterwards.
Bart, that is not an option. Yet.

No, BUY the paper and....you can do it. See a youtube video! No?

No, BUY the paper
I have Charmin's ultra soft double ply.

That can't hurt. Search on gift wrapping services in your area. You can have it done and then not only get points for picking out a great gift, but you can claim you wrapped it yourself as well.
Diamonds are very easy to wrap.

It is a very Christmassy color.. My wife has those. Killer cans. Not sure about the green colorant though.

Is that glittery? Glitter would help.

Return the inversion table. She can always do the Shirshasana yoga pose. Get her a cat instead. And the diamond

Just glue some left over stock from your next job to it. Nothing says Merry Christmas like engineered bamboo scraps.

I would use some rope around it.

@Walks_At_Night There is no next job (not one I'll be actually working on) I am pretty much retired. So I'm bored out of my skull and don't know what to do with myself. I'm posting far too much, I'm drinking like an ox and I can't wait to shovel snow! The fabric is breaking down and soon will longer hold the properties of a solid.
I may have to get a job! wrapping gifts :'(

Uhh ... Perhaps you enjoyed working? You are a craftsman, after all. You can always volunteer with Habitats for Humanity or some such if you don't care about the money
idle hands ...

I do volunteer. I'm a Sally Anne kettle person (ringing my bell) throughout December. I love it. And I'm not returning the table. Yoga makes women fart. Not into that.
I am looking into other volunteering avenues. Soup kitchen stuff.. but then I stand there and I'm sickened by some of them because they can't be bothered to comprehend looking into their own self worth and putting on their big boy/or girl pants and helping themselves. Perhaps Habitat For Humanity is something to look into. Definitely.

@Bart Ell don’t you dare delete this thread. It contains your brilliant wrapping suggestion, which I am planning to use.

@KSM Get one of those gift bags that hold bicycles. The dimensions usually are 60" X 72". Possibly big enough for that box? Slip the bag over that box, flip it around tie it closed with ribbon. ;)

I could delete the dang thread myself. And I hope you use Bart's idea. Please be sure to post pictures of your wife's disappointment on Christmas morning. :D
@ShayP I had no idea those things existed. The dimensions you gave will work! Now my friend, how will I wrap this fucking hockey stick for my nephew? ;D

Don't tell me you're into that "partner" bullshit. Like her and I run a company together? It's a fuckin marriage and she's my wife. Last night I took Vera for a walk. She was my dog, not my partner.
PS I'm not yelling at you. Just sayin I don't have a "partner"
