I’m going to come right out and say it-I am the world’s WORST gift wrapper. I cannot cut the paper straight, I cannot figure out how much paper to cut, I always have huge overlaps or the edges barely touch and I’m cutting little strips trying to fill in the gaps, I am HOPELESS. Most of my gifts look like they were wrapped by rabid badgers, I AM SO NOT KIDDING.

So when I got an email asking if I would like to try new self-adhesive wrap from Hallmark, I was all SIGN ME UP. Next thing I knew, a truck was pulling up outside my house to deliver a ginormous box with this:

NINE rolls of self-adhesive wrapping GENIUS. See the one on the far left, with the black and white photos of cute baby faces and monkeys and fathers with their sons? I used that one to wrap my husband’s Father’s Day gifts. The inside of the wrapping paper has LINES printed on it to guide the scissors, so even I could cut straight, and it is slightly sticky but not too much. You fold one side over the gift and press down lightly so it sticks, then fold the other side over. You won’t need any tape for that part, but for the flaps on the ends, Hallmark thoughtfully provides a sheet of small sticky strips that you peel off to secure the flaps. I used one on each end and the gifts looked perfectly wrapped. If I can make gifts look that good, Hallmark deserves a freaking MEDAL!

GIVEAWAY-Four winners will each receive two rolls of the Adhesive Gift Wrap, the design will be chosen by the sponsor. If you post the banner or button from the top of the post on your blog or website, you automatically get one entry in every giveaway. Let me know in your comment if you do. Otherwise, for one entry, leave a comment on this post with your REAL NAME or blog alias and a VALID email address. In the event that I send the winner an email and it comes back as a bad address, I will choose another winner, so type carefully. Comments left with keywords instead of names will be deleted. Open to U.S. only, one entry per person. Enter by Thursday July 3rd at 9:00 AM EST. Winners will be contacted by email. Good luck!

    Know I an a decent wrapper but my husband is not. Maybe I will get gifts that are not twice as big as they should be since their is so much extra wrapping paper on the ends if I win and give the paper to him :)

    I love wrapping things…my problem is I never have decent paper and end up wrapping things in red and green, as I always have a lot leftover from Christmas…just plain, nothing with elves or stockings on it. I love the roll you have, second from the right. I also added your button to my sidebar.

  47. Beverly Says:

    I would totally love to try this. I can’t cut a straight piece to save my life. I somehow manage to rip the wrapping paper no matter how fast or slow I go.

  48. Belinda A. (13 comments.) Says:

  86. Michele P. (11 comments.) Says:

    I’ve never seen this before, but believe me when I say this is very useful. I cannot wrap at all, years ago I worked at JCP in the catalog area and part of that job was to do gift wrap. I used to mess up those pkgs. so bad, I’d give the customers their own wrap and not chage them! lol. So glad they invented the gift BAG now, much easier!

  189. jennifer o. Says:

    Wow! What a great idea. I love wrapping gifts at first, but I start to get frustrated dealing with tape by the third or so gift. These would really come in handy during Christmas when my entire family waits for me to show up so I can wrap their gifts for them.

  190. Tina Says:
