So Who Is Better When It Comes To Wrapping Gifts....

Most adults wrap the Christmas gifts they're giving. A recent Scotch tape poll shows that 71-percent purchase supplies and wrap presents themselves, while 19-percent go the gift bag route. Only three-percent enlist the help of a professional gift wrapper. Nearly a third of those surveyed say their biggest mistake in gift wrapping is not knowing how to conceal the item. Roughly a quarter say they most typically run into problems when they don't have the right supplies on hand to get the job done, while 20-percent say using too much or not enough wrapping paper gets them into trouble.

Seven out of ten adults believe women are better at gift wrapping than men, and nearly 75-percent believe the female head of household usually does the bulk of the family's wrapping tasks. A third of the men polled note that they'd buy their partner or spouse an extra gift if she would wrap gifts for him, while 18-percent say they'd agree to watch the latest "chick flick" with her and nine-percent would promise to take out the trash for a week. However, 49-percent of women say what their guy would promise, quote, "wouldn't matter because they would never agree to it."
