How Do You Wrap?

[cancidas]

since i can't sleep and have to be up in 3 hours anyway i took time getting a head start on wrapping christmas gifts. i got this idea from a former flight instructor, and been doing it ever since. instead of going out and spending cash on wrapping paper i save my old charts and use them to wrap christmas and birthday gifts in. doesn't look all that bad when mixed with ribbon to match:



this one was a low altitude IFR enroute chart. (L33 and L34) now it's my brother's and secret santa gifts for work.

Great idea on the gift wrap. :D

This columnist/hedge fund manager I used to work with used to give us all gifts wrapped in old stock certificates of defunct companies...which were actually a lot cooler than the presents themselves. One year I got a couple of Pan Am certificates, sadly they had been wrinkled and torn in the wrapping process.

Pretty good idea actually. I know someone who stuffs bags with old NOS charts in Sarasota. Normally I start with wrapping paper, a ribbon, a bow, some scotch, some scotch tape and the gift. When I finish everything is the same minus the scotch ususally. Hahahaahahaha
