Wrapping paper

MrJohnSherry · 27 Nov 2013 at 22:12

Hey, for Christmas I was going to get personalised wrapping paper (don't ask

) I was just wondering, if I had 5 or 6 shoe box size presents, how many A1 sheets (580mm x 820mm) would I need? Any guesses?

Feel free to move if this is in the wrong section! Cheers

EDIT: Thread is dead, nothing to see here folks! If a mod could close it , that would be great

We should certainly have a section for challenging questions such as these but I'd likely get probated if I described the name I'm thinking of.

It wasn't really a challenging question now was it? I was asking for peoples opinions. While I get the GD can be a bit......yeah, I was genuinely asking for a few guesses as I really have no idea. If you wish to call me names, feel free to PM me them if it makes you feel better mate.

Well it depends on the dimensions of the box. When you know that then you can calculate the area of all six sides to give you an approximation of how much area of paper you need.

Or you could just go with 42

Cheers mate! 42 it is!

/End please

Why are you buying everyone shoes for Christmas?

My Fiancée likes shoes, so I buy her shoes? lol, the same reason I buy anybody anything for Christmas really!

Maybe he works in Clarks?

God no! My sister worked in a shoe shop, and they are heartless places by all accounts.

6 pairs of shoes for your GF? Would it not have been better to get 1 pair of expensive shoes as a rare treat, or are you wonderfully rich and have bought a selection of Louboutin and Jimmy Choo?

They are not all shoes lol, I said 'shoe box size presents', so there is shoes, hair straighteners and clothes which will be put into boxes because trying to gift wrap clothing is neigh on impossible any other way.
