Jane Means shows us to wrap an awkward shape gift (satchel)

Every year there’s always that one gift that just seems impossible to wrap. That awkward shape that just doesn’t look good no matter how you position the paper. We’ve all been there. A lady who’s been there more often than most is Jane Means – our gift wrapping style expert. Jane has been professionally wrapping for nearly twenty years and has a list of celebrity clients who choose her to provide them with a luxury look (all confidentially of course). Always the professional, Jane has had to turn her talent to some incredibly difficult gifts in her time, and has picked up a knack for taking on any challenge with only a moment’s thought.

We gave Jane a satchel to put her skills to the test. Soft and with lots of embellishments and extra bits to get in the way, it’s easy to end up with a crinkled and uneven mess. Jane, however, took it in her stride and presented us with a beautiful, evenly folded gift to be proud of. Find out how she did it in this video, and apply her techniques to your own awkward presents this year.
