We have many gift bags in the closet from birthday presents they received. Buying paper that will be ripped up and tossed a few seconds later seems wasteful in many ways. They will be more than happy to get the gifts in bags and not even give it a second thought.

From my observation, this diagonal wrapping idea is generally how the Japanese use wrapping paper.

I never can be bothered to put up lights. And Christmas music is annoying, full stop. I don’t want that shit in my house.
But not making cookies? NEVER!!!
Can you catch it on your tonsils, can you heave it left and right?

Or wrap in reusable cloth and create an elegant gift without all the soul-crushing guilt.
Furoshiki wrapping typically seems to start on the diagonal.

Well I only ever wrap presents in 4D, at some point in time every part of the box was covered.

I got 'cha. How about this from Mental Floss. Some work sheets to go with it. Fancy an older video that still has math in it? I want to say Vi Hart has a video on it, but that’s just a guess because she does so much cool stuff that, surely, this has not escaped her attention.
I remember wrapping a gift like this back in the early 90’s after I took a topology course in college. There was some theorem we had learned that made me think of gift wrapping. I wonder if I can find the text book for that class and rediscover what it was.

So now using wrapping paper to wrap gifts is now hacking? It’s strange how the internet has robbed the word “hack” of all meaning.
