Wrapping Paper

Wrapping paper is that decorative layer of temporary joy humans insist on before tearing it to shreds thirty seconds later. It’s usually made of thin, glossy paper printed with patterns—snowflakes, balloons, polka dots, or whatever theme people think screams “celebration.” The good stuff feels smooth, folds neatly, and makes that satisfying crisp sound when you crease it. The cheap kind rips if you look at it wrong and comes with designs that look like they were made by a colorblind raccoon.
