What to avoid while packing the presents?

The things that need to be avoided while packing presents, are:

• leaving excess wrapping paper, which makes the gift look sloppy,
• wrapping boxes facing up, which leaves the seaming on top,
• crossing the decorative ribbons on the bottom of the box, which creates a bulge that prevents the gift from standing flat,
• affixing the tape to the surface of the giftbox, which can damage its surface.

Before wrapping the present it is also necessary not to forget to remove the price tag from the gifted item.
