I'm taking a really freak'n hard AP Physics course.

I saved all of my solution pages, totally covered in math, sketches, and generally intelligent looking stuff (Even if I am super confused by some of it), and chose the best ones to use as wrapping paper this xmas.

Went pretty well.

brown parcel paper (can decorate as you wish with stamps, stickers, etc)
this year my friend wrapped my present in beautiful wallpaper
old map pages

the japanese use furoshiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furoshiki)), looks beautiful and is recyclable. i sometimes buy a friend a scarf/bandana and wrap their gift in that.

so this is from /toy/ But we have these things called BST (buy sell trade) Threads.

One guy posted his package opening because of how epic it was.

Basically he bought an action figure. (shf V3)

but what he received in the mail was just a jigsaw puzzle.

while he was about to loose his shit, he shuffled a little bit through the pieces, and there, under the pieces, was his action figure.

maybe something that seems to be disappointing, but then is suddenly awesome will make your gift seem even better?
