1) Why bother - everyone will know without opening it that it's a tin of Roses and that Strummy does his xmas present shopping in Tesco   is a cheapskate who actually shops around for a £4 tin of sweets ? ;) 

Pfft....
 


 
 
 
 
They were a pound cheaper in Sainsburys

I'm not that tight though...

Along with the the other xmas stuff, they've been just inside the front door since August (FFS!) ;)

Anyways, I'm off to get some meself later. I've just figured out that the £1 saving  in Sainsburys (other supermarkets are available) will be just about swallowed up with the extra fuel and tyre wear wear to get there (83.6598147p approx). Then of course there's the impact to the environment of that unnecessary travelling, which has to be worth at least 11.2365978p according to my handy carbon footprint cost calculator, which ironically isn't solar powered. So, let it not be said that Paulo just bought a tin of sweets in Tesco for someone because he couldn't be arsed to put any further effort or consideration into it.  Oh no, this was a thoughtful and considered action. ;)

I believe the duct tape makes it 20-40% better.

You're a man. That's where you're going wrong. Men can only wrap cubic gifts. Women can neatly wrap a freaking dodecadodecahedron, with the simple condition that no man is looking.

I give you a star for using the word dodecadodecahedron in a sentence (the best I could do was an icosahedron).

I misread the original post as:

'anyone who can cr@p in a tin of Cadbury's Roses neatly'


I worry about myself...
