However, its videos have reached a far greater audience.
At the time of writing, the TikTok account had garnered 3.8 million likes over all of its clips.
Its not hard to see why these videos are so popular.
Theres a huge element of surprise when the twist gets revealed.
And its something thats replicable.
The aforementioned holiday ostrich has gotten 2.4 million views.
If you plan on doing anything similar, then you oughta be prepared.
Naturally, youll need wrapping paperand lots of it!
Grab a bunch of tape and a pair of scissors.
And consider getting some cardboard and colored paper as well.
Making a wire mesh works as well, but that can be way more expensive and time-consuming.
Think about this entire project in terms of layers.
Youve got the core (the gift).
Then youve got the framework that youll make from sturdier materials.
And lastly, youve got the traditional wrapping paper that youll carefully place over everything.
So you might afford to be slightly messy if you dont have much experience with gift-wrapping.
But if youre all thumbs, dont think that you cant have fun by doing this.
Do your best and just watch how everyones jaws drop to the floor on Christmas Day!

If youre anything like us, youll realize just how important patience and having steady hands really is.
And its only natural to get utterly frustrated when nothing comes out like you wanted it to.
But gift-wrapping is like any other skill.
We get better at it the more we practice.
Especially when we do it mindfully, taking the time to correct any and all mistakes that we notice.
