i hate spending money on stupid shiny wrapping paper only to see it all torn apart and thrown away, so i wrap my presents in garbage
my dad collects pez (dweeb apple falls not far from dweeb tree), so i got him the set of
these semi-rare "crystal" bubbleman dispensers. i wrapped them in bubble wrap and then i think two plastic bags
i also got him some weird eastern european "pez klub" pins from the 70s or so? if you recognize any of the not-obvious characters pls tell me. i repurposed the box, made the display (why it looks like shit) and wrapped it in blank pages from an insurance letter
my mother has one of those vinyl cutting machines so i got her some cool vinyl material. a set of different metallic pieces as well as a glittery black. i wrapped them first in a plastic bag, then in one half of a sleeve used to ship me a vinyl album
for my oldest brother, i bought a 2006 "uncommon cats" calendar. wrapped in placeholder photo paper that i removed from three picture frames i bought
for my other brother, i bought a sealed booster box of "bill & ted's most atypical movie trading cards" from 1991, with a chance to win a trip to san dimas california! i wrapped it in envelopes
i also got him a sealed booster box of holofoil fantasy art cards (these are unironically neat tbh). wrapped in a plastic bag with the transparent/identifying places covered with scrap paper
