8. How to Wrap a Gift When the Paper Is Too Short

You try your best to use every single bit of wrapping paper, but nine times out of 10, you always end up with at least one extra gift and a short supply of gift wrap. Just turn your gift diagonally, as seen in this ingenious hack from TikTok’s @mama_mila_ when your supply isn’t quite matching your demand.
