Ultimate Christmas Present

Stamped: 10:09 PM


This christmas was the first with my nephew, Brett Gibson (sound familiar?) around, he's now 8 months old! Being a thoughful uncle, I didn't think soft toys or noisy widgets would suffice. After all we all know the best htings in life are free, and kids always like the wrapping paper more than the present. Something to do witht he scrunchyness and clour.
So I had a brainwave - MAKE THE WRAPPING PAPER THE PRESENT!!

Required:
1 x Book of colourful A4 paper (blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink)
1 x Box, bigger than recipient
7 x Different kinds of wrapping paper (coz taking off the wrapping should be fun too)
1 x Shredder.

Result:
1 x Happy Nephew.
* Note, make sure the paper is either edible, or that mum/dad are there to stop recipient from eating it (NB. This is not the responsibility of the uncle)

Much fun.

Also - here's Brett enjoying a singing santa. (apologies for sidewaysness)

    Dear God... you mean there are 2.
    Is this Brett also set on world domination.
    Present is maybe a litle tight but good none the less. top

    Lucy - of course you can! And yes, another year :S
    Mei - he looks surprisingly like my brother at that age.
    Rory - Possibly, but bloody time consuming - mum's shredder isn't that good, so doing it a page at a time and then inter-folding the serviettes and putting them in a tissue box made it maybe the most difficult present I've ever given! worth it though. Not sure about domination yet, will update as I know. top
