This TikTok mom offers hacks to other moms. She says that it is the box orientation that works as a key to the some of the gift wrapping hacks.
The mistake in gift wrapping
According to an article from HITC, one of the most common mistakes in gift wrapping is cutting the paper and then discovering that a big part of the gift is peeking.
Usually, this mistake is patched up, quite literally by most. What happens is that a separate piece of the wrapper is cut out to cover that certain area. Because a gift wrapper has its unique pattern, the gift wrap ends up becoming less neat.
