It's fancy with excess paper, bows, pleats and double sided tape. Looks nice. But I'm unconvinced that the three demos are showing much that's different from common sense.
For a bottle wrap the paper around the bottle and fold the ends. For a teddy wrap the paper around the teddy and fold the ends in. For a tin sit it on the paper and fold the paper up around it. In the demo the tin was finished off by crunching the paper together leaving it sticking out rather than folding it in.
The excess bits shown make it look a top quality job, but wrapping for functionality isn't that difficult if you can stop the end of the tape sticking to itself, touching the wrong thing or refusing to unstick from your finger.

Too true Minty I'm afraid. But perhaps for adults prezzies its worth having a go.
I have a friend oop north, in Wakefield, that has a Japanese daughter-in-law and he tells me that she puts everybody else in the family to shame with her exemplary wrapping ( probably something to do with all Origami I expect )
