One, I've figured out how to turn my multitude of wrapping paper into paper bags.

Not the most useful thing this year (except it works for cookie deliveries), but I suspect that when I have a child at grade school, it'd be neat to send in lunches made out of wrapping paper or such at Christmas time.
Two, I finally learned how to make a damnable bow out of wired ribbon.

For years I've lusted after this ribbon, only to reject it, because it was nearly useless in my wrapping efforts. Now, I buy this ribbon ALL the time. That's my new Christmas wrapping rule.
Any one want tutorials on either of these items? If so, let me know. I think I'd enjoy putting those online.
