Just in time for the holidays, the diagonal gift wrap hack has gone viral. It’s age-old wisdom in some circles—a graduate student even wrote a paper about the math of the perfect gift wrap in 2007, and it’s how Subway sandwich artists already wrap your lunch—but it seems like the internet is only now catching up.

I don't like wrapping gifts and it shows. I don't care. Once gave a gift to a woman who criticised my wrapping talents when I handed it to her. Never gave her another thing.

Link doesn't work for me but may be like my theme this year..
All my gifts are wrapped in bandannas in the Furoshiki style. I didn't realize I was doing it at the time but found it online after the fact. I was trying just to use less paper.
