If there's one thing harder than finding the perfect holiday gift, it's wrapping the perfect holiday gift once you do manage to find it.

On the difficulty scale, wrapping a present comes in slightly behind rubbing your belly and tapping your head at the same time and ahead of reciting the alphabet backwards, but it's a skill the Japanese seem to have down pat. Check out this video of one man in action. According to the video description:

The Japanese have a special way of gift wrapping. They use a big piece of paper that they fold in a special way, so as to use only one piece of tape to hold everything together."

Good luck trying to master this. We still say that when it comes time to wrap our gifts, we'll have enough scraps left over to fill a recycling bin.
