Why Didn’t I Think Of That?!?!


So I’m hanging with the kiddos watching Sesame Street.  Ya know a usual morning in our house…

and what comes on but a little girl showing a fish how to wrap a present with…

wait for it…

ALUMINUM FOIL!!!!!!!

How many times have I went to wrap a birthday present and I’ve only had baby shower wrap or Christmas wrap or only a scrap of birthday wrap????  How many times have you? 

This is GENIUS I say GENIUS!  

And if you already thought of this tidbit of wrapping goodness well then you are way more inventive than I am!  

And yeah...when I googled it...OF COURSE someone already HAD! 



Thank goodness for people like this!!!  Makes me SEEM a whole lot cooler when I show up with a fun present wrapped up in aluminum foil!

  4. That is a cool idea! We once managed to slip an item inside a balloon and then blew it up. Could've saved ourselves some trouble and used foil ;)

  5. nice! I don't usually get aluminum foil, but I'll have to check prices on that because it might be my new wrapping of choice =)

  7. wow, that really is a good idea! i typically have the problem of never being able to keep manly paper, and i always seem to be gift wrapping for boys!
    i keep a box of eco friendly recycled big brown envelopes from staples office supply for the rustic look, but this is a great alternative to that! thanks for passing this along!
