    I lost over $70K when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that’s what everyone said. I’m still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I’m really grateful I find one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly.

      Wow that’s huge, how do you make that much monthly?
      I’ve been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

      December 7, 2023 at 3:43 am

      Wow, I’m surprised that someone mentioned the expert Mrs Evelyn Hawley. I thought I’m the only one who invests with her.

    • @TheBoss-pu2kt

      December 7, 2023 at 3:43 am

      She helped me recover what I lost by trying to change myself

    • @Engin-iv6vz

      That’s great!!. I don’t know anything about investing and I intend to start. What are your strategies?

  6. @CasualDrive

    December 7, 2023 at 3:38 am

    wrapping with non-coated recycled paper, then making some custom illustrations with a sharpie is my go-to method for maximum creativity while using minimum plastic/coated materials.

  8. @maditheband

    December 7, 2023 at 4:50 am

    I needed this! I always feel I am pretty strong at level 1, but then gifts still end up being a little bit messy by either the quality of wrapping paper I picked, my level of patience or me misjudging how much paper I needed :’) Great video!!

  9. @jillabhau8873

    Ever heard of the Plastic Grocery Bag?

  10. @azareelperezzapata2433

    December 7, 2023 at 6:12 am

    Very good and useful. Thx.
    JesusChrist said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” We are all lost, but God in his mercy gave his Son, so we all, by the faith in Christ, could be saved, have everlasting life. Also, Jesus Christ said: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved”, He and only He could make us free.
    “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (Jn 3:17).
    Greetings.

    I figured most of these out as a teenager. I did enjoy the little pinwheel on top of the cube. That was new to me! Otherwise these are pretty basic wrapping skills.

  12. @infxmhc

    December 7, 2023 at 8:02 am

    Box & bow is level 1? what level is sloppily wrapped in news paper? 😅

  13. @RazzleDazzle23

    December 7, 2023 at 9:09 am

    Hello, Lion here! Did you say awkward shape?! That’s rude! 😾

  14. @neelo821

    December 7, 2023 at 9:39 am

    Wow! Very instructive. 😃 I’ve always used the level 1 box technique since that’s the only one I know. Definitely useful. 👍

    10 dollar gift and 100 dollar effort

  16. @MiScusi69

    December 7, 2023 at 10:37 am

    Very cool, but I think that if you can tell what’s inside (like in the tennis racket) it doesn’t have a purpose to wrap it up. Great video nonetheless!

  17. @nauvir2046

    December 7, 2023 at 11:42 am

    now I feel bad for shredding all the gift wraps I received… this is art. And it has so much care too..

  18. @glossysky.e

    December 7, 2023 at 1:40 pm

    I loveeee wrapping things, this was amazing to watch

  19. @ninlh.8950

    December 7, 2023 at 2:19 pm

    I remember doing a box with pockets but not using them for anything. The pockets were just for the look.

  20. @zZiL341yRj736

    December 7, 2023 at 2:32 pm

    Level 100: Japanese

  21. @PinkSwifty22

    December 7, 2023 at 2:42 pm

    I wonder what kind of un-wrapper she is? Does she unfold neatly and saves the paper or tears it up? 😂

  22. @tracyscott2887

    December 7, 2023 at 3:43 pm

    Disappointed with WIRED: you want REAL EXPERT WRAPPING? GO TO THE JAPANESE

    The card flap trick is astounding

  27. @LightsGoneWild

    December 8, 2023 at 1:01 am

    At 1:57 you had a perfectly folded straight edge, yet you taped it in the middle of the bottom of the box instead of on the edge for a “seamless” wrap.

    Yeah, my wife makes me wrap the presents. 😉

  28. @______13

    December 8, 2023 at 3:46 am

    useless effort input

  29. @IanZainea1990

    December 8, 2023 at 8:18 am

    Levels 10 and 11 are kinda bogus. But I love all the others!

  30. @spacefaringspoonbill4120

    December 8, 2023 at 11:44 am

    Loved this – the books with the card pocket and the no tape versions were my favorite! I tend to use (and reuse) store bought bags for awkwardly shaped things, but I’ve definitely run out before. It’ll be useful if that comes up again to know how to make my own ♥

  31. @RashiyaDayfe129

    December 8, 2023 at 12:47 pm

    this is so cool

    Two words: Gift bag.

  34. @pleasestopscreaming

    December 8, 2023 at 10:20 pm

    I love wrapping gifts. When I was a kid, my mom would have me wrap all the presents for Xmas (except my own) 😅 I’ve actually used a few of these methods! I hate just throwing things in bags. I think people like unwrapping things (even if they don’t like to wrap gifts themselves) so I try to wrap everything even if it’s a weird shape.

    • @laurao3274

      December 11, 2023 at 10:31 am

      It depends on the person. I hate when people wrap my gifts, because I can’t not think about the waste of single-use wrapping paper. I prefer when they use gift bags or even shopping bags.

    • @NadiaSeesIt

      December 11, 2023 at 8:43 pm

      I get that, but bags are reusable! I just buy high quality bags and grab them after to reuse. Myself and a few family members keep exchanging the same bags!

  35. @mcomh5721

    Ms. You’ve got beautiful hands.

  38. @janeparris918

    Level 49: ceiling fan
    Level 87: wheelchair

    Love this!!!

  43. @Sembazuru

    December 10, 2023 at 1:18 am

    When doing boxes, I almost always use her second box method. I just find it easier to see what I’m doing. Not saying that the first way is wrong at all.

  44. @kristinnelson-patel442

    December 10, 2023 at 6:30 am

    Wow— I thought I was pretty good at wrapping and she zoomed past my whole skill set at level 3. Some of these look doable and really fun! Can’t wait to try them out.

  45. @_cryptr_5104

    December 10, 2023 at 6:27 pm

    every decision you’ve ever made has led up to this moment.

  46. @xotennisxgirlox

    December 11, 2023 at 3:15 am

    I find it sad that so many people think this is something that takes extreme skill or is too superfluous to learn how to do it right. It takes 5 minutes and a little bit of effort. I hate the “just throw it in a bag” mentality. It’s a gift. Don’t you want to at least try?

  47. @Pepa14pig

    December 11, 2023 at 4:54 am

    My favorite method: buy a gift bag – reusable and super simple!

  48. @missjaygh

    December 11, 2023 at 6:28 am

    I love this!

  49. @stevenlee2528

    December 11, 2023 at 9:05 am

    Level 12+ is wrapping service at most upscale Japanese shopping centers. ❤

  50. @Minimadaa

    December 11, 2023 at 10:00 am

    This is amazing. Even Level 1 version 3 blew my mind!! I feel like I need to rewrap all my gifts now, I did such a lazy job!

  51. @becorations1

    December 11, 2023 at 12:25 pm

    Beautiful skills…I just wish we could actually see what she was doing in all of them. A few were not a good angle to catch the method.

  52. @jefferymuffinsbobmarley6128

  55. @victoriamartin5414

    December 13, 2023 at 12:03 am

    This makes me excited to wrap my sons Christmas presents

  56. @02semira07

    December 13, 2023 at 2:38 am

    Most of them are pretty easy. I say no tape should be higher because that’s not thw only way to wrap without tape.

  57. @sohansaha4693

    December 13, 2023 at 9:42 am

    bro my gift wraps dont even include the bow… im lower than lvl 1 💀

  58. @metalcorgi1959

    December 13, 2023 at 2:39 pm

    I liked her until I heard that she was british

  59. @izayus11

    December 13, 2023 at 6:05 pm

    If she were to wrap my gifts:
    “well, aren’t you going to open your gift?”
    My OCDself: “No, I don’t think I will”

  60. @RHTQ1

    December 13, 2023 at 9:11 pm

    I love wrapping gifts creatively, but I’ve never take the time to learn to do pretty pleats (doesn’t help that I usually have to wrap gifts on a carpeted floor). This tutorial is so kind and detailed that it really makes me want to try!

  61. @ElOsoMarino

    December 13, 2023 at 9:16 pm

    Level -11: don’t gift anything

  62. @lauriewinblade5214

    December 13, 2023 at 11:05 pm

    My husband – just hands it over in the store bag with receipt and all

  63. @mistaBorg

    December 14, 2023 at 8:57 am

    imo the best wrap is the one where you’d never guess whats inside, like wrapping a new smartphone as if its bottle. its abit more fun reaction

  64. @dicksonZero

    December 15, 2023 at 4:28 am

    it’s annoying how they cut the video and not let us see what she has done.
    even for the key points she covered, we couldn’t see the result of the care she gave

  65. @moepskie

    December 15, 2023 at 7:09 am

    im only 3 minutes into the vid and im already amazed

  66. @erinhagemeister3175

    Beautiful! I would love to receive such a beautifully wrapped gift!
