I read that 6 out of 10 men admit that it takes them only one minute to wrap a present. That is probably why our wives always give us that look when we hand them that gift?
Gift wraps by women.
The same article mentioned that women take at least 3 minutes to gift wrap a present. That is probably the reason my wife’s present always looks so nice compared to mine.
