I've located my Christmas presents. But there's one problem. They're already wrapped lol. Is there a way to kind of...peek inside of them without making any noticeable rips?

And be quick with a reply because they get back in about half an hour or so rofl

i have done this before........well you have to peel off the tape very carefully, but you have to make sure that you dont pull of too much paper because the tape want stick back on, or you could just wait.

Wait until the 25th, then open them...

The date effects the sticky-ness of the tape....

Steam from boiling water easily loosens tape/glue.

Or if your parents use a credit card, just go look through their receipts.

First to do:

If you have any game consoles, take a game case for each one.
Compare the cases to the presents for similarity in size. If there are any video games in there, you'll at least know what console it's for.

Next:
Get something very fine, like an exacto knife. Slice the wrap around the present to make a square that runs around the thin part of the present. Lift the shell of wrapping paper off the top. Tadaa!

Now for the hard part...
Get a roll of double-sided tape, and the same wrapping paper as the present you sliced. (You may realise this only works for presents that your parents wrapped. Oh well:p )

Take the other side of the wrapping paper shell. Pull out enough wrapping paper that will cover the inside of the shell. Cut that piece off. Line the sides of it with the tape. Carefully slide the new square into one of the other ones, about halfway sticking out.
Slide the present in that, and put the other shell side over it. Now, push down so that the tape sticks to the paper. If you did it right, nothing will look different.


It isn't my fault if you get caught because of too large of a gap between the shell pieces, but test it on a small present that you can just rewrap easily if the plan fails.
God, if this works, I better get the credit for it. I tried it on one of my presents, and whaddya know! DS Game.

If they are not in shape of any console, don't bother opening them...... That's my 2 cents.

Try to get some steam on the tape,it'll easily slip out.Then,you just put new tape or glue.

Oh..Almost forgot!
Try a Hairdryer.It worked for me with my warranty seal,just to clean it up.

Funny if your gift was a PS3. Then you'd have a steam engine... XD Yea, that's one of my many stupid remarks for today. \

Uhh I usually open it on the sides because when Christmas at 0430 comes my parents are so tired they can't tell that there's a few tears in the paper and i open my gifts so rapidly they can't tell the difference afterwards anyways.

the easiest way: unwrap the present, have a good look at it (take a pic if u lik) then wrap it up again:p
