Hang in there!!! It doesn't have to be perfect. And here's a new & creative 'punishment': make them wrap Christmas gifts! *is evil*
If you must do it yourself, I recommend making simple wrapping 'bags' using wrapping paper and staples--the sewer (sew-er, that is, as in 'one who sews') in you might enjoy that more than taping? Anyway, get enough wrapping paper go around the item, use a piece of tape to hold it together if necessary, fold over the raw edges on the ends a few times (like the foil wrappers for cream cheese) then staple those suckers closed--kind of like a tube with two rolled up ends. Believe me, banging on a stapler is much more therapeutic (and faster) than all that neat folding and taping!!
