and the indifference men feel towards gift wrap has changed little since then. They claim, what is the point? But I bet they’ve never seen wrapping paper like this!

I present to you dude wrap, a term aptly coined by the folks at Whimsypress. Usually, wrapping paper for guys is either a solid colour or covered in frat boy humour.
