People are just realizing you don’t need tape to wrap gifts – and they think the new technique is ‘sorcery’

People are just discovering a way to wrap gifts that doesn’t require tape.
Many are shocked by the packaging hack, saying it’s so useful it’s almost “magic”.
An X user (@todayyearsoldig) shared the video they accidentally stumbled upon showing viewers how to wrap gifts without duct tape.
“What is this magic?” they asked in complete disbelief.
A woman placed a book diagonally on wrapping paper, making sure to trim the paper so it was just the right size and had a full fold over the book.
Next, she wrapped two sides of the paper over the book, making sure to tuck in the corners of the wrapping paper to create a seamless corner.


She pulls the other side of the wrapping paper over the book and quickly forms a makeshift envelope.
She tucks the last page of wrapping paper into the book, eliminating the need for tape.
People used the comments to share their thoughts on the method.
Many thought the demonstrator made the method look much simpler than it actually was.
“It always looks so easy,” laughed one viewer.
“I can’t even wrap with duct tape,” joked another.
Others were inspired to try the trick themselves: “Now I’m excited to get some wrapping paper and see if that’s really true,” said a third.
