Gift opening techniques.
A Horizontal shaker ?
A vigorous forward and backwards shaker ?
A slow end to end tipper ?
A sniffer ?
A simultaneous shaker and listener ?
Do you tear the paper to shreds from no particular starting point ?
Do you carefully release the tape on each seam?
Do you fold your paper up when you're done or are you a crumpler ?
If it's something that comes with a picture on the box do think your job is done or do you look in the box to see if the contents match the picture ?
open both sides not looking, then rip the top part.
Tearin', rippin', shreddin
Do you carefully release the tape on each seam?
Definitely me. Because I'm anal. I ripped the stickers off and fold the paper to be re-used or recycle in the recycle box.
No shaking, something could break. We wrap with decorated box or bags made of cloth or paper, no wrapping paper please. So it's usually cutting or untieing of the ribbon.
(Please note I spend a 1/2 hour yesterday ironing of gift bags. LOL)
A shaker, listener and feeler!
Good job JJ !!! Cloth gift bags are great for a lot of things.
Gophie.....a feeler. I see I forgot to add that in the list.
You could also add sniffer, I suppose.
Sniffer is there Gophie. I had to put that one in, because my sister is a gift sniffer.
Oh yes, now I see it. Well then, how about taster? We MUST cater for all the senses!
As I have never licked a wrapped gift, (well....maybe once) the thought hadn't occurred to me.

I carefully release the stem, ever since when I was at a birthday party (long time ago), and my friend would always rip/tear/open his presents.. until he got one with a gift certificate and managed to rip it in half!
Yup. That'd make you change your ways in a hurry. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/xmas/b046.gif" border=0]

I ALWAYS TOOK YOU FOR AN ARSE SNIFFER........HA HA LOL
Gordy ! I'm surprised at you. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/a084.gif" border=0]
Well.....not really.
Hmmm....it depends on how the gift is wrapped.
no ribbons/frillie stuff just paper - I rip and crunch the paper
with ribbson/frillie stuff - rip nicely from the sides and take away the string and wear the gift bow on me. :))) but, I eventually end up throwing everything.
