This stupid gift wrap

What is even the point of this crap? It looks silver but is completely clear and doesn’t say that anywhere on the packaging.

I agree that the silver is dumb and deceptive. But! My mom and I have this bit where we always wrap eachother's gifts as ridiculously as possible (think multiple layers, clear packing tape along all seams and corners of the gift wrap, that sort of thing), and I feel like this would be a perfect way to wrap the last layer. You think you have the last layer off because you see the gift, then you take this off thinking it's the plastic wrap, then boom, more plastic wrap, bonus points if there's a layer of shrink wrap between these two. It's honestly perfect and I'm very excited to have seen this post. One man's frustration is another man's next prank.

I normally hate pranking, but when it’s reciprocal (? sorry if this is the wrong usage) as yours is with your mum, this would be a good one! 😁
