How To Wrap A Gift For Revenge
Quotes Gram

For as long as I can remember, my uncle has mercilessly tortured me. It was a loving torture, but torture none the less. Every year for my birthday and Christmas, I’d have to dig and claw through countless layers of wrapping paper, tape, and various pantry items just to get to a gift card. Then one year, I decided to fight back. The war has raged on ever since. I have now become a master at revenge wrapping a gift. Do you have a crazy uncle or other relative that you just need to teach a lesson? Here are some tips from me on how to wrap the gift of sweet revenge.

Step 1: Get them a small gift

I’d recommend a gift card or something else similarly minuscule. Going through all that work to only end up with something as small as a gift card really packs the final punch. Even better if the gift card is for somewhere they never go.

Step 2: Wrap the small gift

Cut out a strip of wrapping paper and roll up the gift. You now have a good five layers or so of wrapping paper on the gift. If you’re feeling especially sadistic you could then wrap the gift entirely in duct tape or shipping tape.

Step 3: Put the gift in a small to medium sized box

Make it no bigger than a shoe box. Along with the gift, throw in some trash, like used toilet paper rolls. You could also throw in some folded up wrapping paper as fake gifts.

Step 4: Wrap the box

Wrap that box with one good layer of paper, making it nice and neat. Then cover the entire thing in duct tape. Wrap it again, and add more duct tape. Shipping tape works too. Repeat this step to your liking.

Step 5: But the box inside another bigger box

Make this box big enough to put more various trash items in. If you want you can throw in some items from your pantry, or whatever you want to throw in there.

Step 6: Wrap that box

Make this wrap job nice and easy. No layer of duct tape here.

Step 7: Wrap it again, but with a surprise

Before you completely wrap the box again, throw in a butt load of confetti. It can be from your shredder or any other kind of confetti you feel like using. Close off the layer after adding in your confetti. However, this step is optional, especially if your victim will be opening the gift in your own home.

Step 8: Wrap it once more

Now you can wrap it again, and on this layer you can cover the whole thing in tape. Repeat to your liking.

Step 9: Wrap it neatly

Here is the final layer. Make it look nice and neat and not at all menacing.

Step 10: Embellishments

Throw on a pretty bow and a name card to make it look like you actually mean to be nice. Now put on a smile and give your gift to your unsuspecting victim.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
