Are you fed up with torn wrapping paper and sticky tape that only sticks to itself (or you)? Would you rather spend extra money on a gift bag than face another wrapping disaster? 

Fear not, thanks to Elise Thomas, present wrapping expert at John Lewis Watford, you need never give someone a poorly papered gift again.

Elise has wrapped it all, from sailing boats to rocking horses, but goes back to basics for this instructional video.

Failing that, pop into the department store and they'll wrap anything you buy there for £3.
