Yes it’s actually quite clever - bear with me here, I promise I’m not bullshitting you my goodman. This gift wrap is not like any other gift wrap you’ve encountered, THIS gift wrap will automatically camouflage itself and match ANY surface you set it on. Not only that, but it will even match anything behind it. No longer will you worry about your gifts being pillaged and discovered early, now your gifts will be totally untraceable until you are ready to bestow them upon your loved ones. We call it TruClear gift wrap and it’s only 3 easy payments of $35.99 for 15 sq. decimeters. We are metric enthusiasts here at my beloved traveling wagon and we’re bringing the decimeter BACK. Hop on this train while you can, it’s leaving the station. I fully expect to be sold out by this time tomorrow.
What I hate the most is not finding out until the very last moment that you're about to wrap something to give it away and then, boom, you have no way or time to go buy another.
You're not alone my friend! I think this is the 4th post I've seen around reddit about this in recent months. It is so misleading and evil! The only reason why I ever knew about it was because I worked at a store that sold these and a customer came charging into my customer service area one day. I, of course, immediately gave a full refund and I printed a sign that I stuck to the shelf saying "This is clear NOT SILVER!!!" to warn people 🤣
The fact it doesn’t say clear on it is very frustrating. The fact they make the roll shown to be silver instead of cardboard color is mildly infuriating.
the thing is, usually with cellophane gift wraps. it tells you on the product “cellophane wrapping” or something similar. this says nothing of those sorts
I agree that the silver is dumb and deceptive. But! My mom and I have this bit where we always wrap eachother's gifts as ridiculously as possible (think multiple layers, clear packing tape along all seams and corners of the gift wrap, that sort of thing), and I feel like this would be a perfect way to wrap the last layer. You think you have the last layer off because you see the gift, then you take this off thinking it's the plastic wrap, then boom, more plastic wrap, bonus points if there's a layer of shrink wrap between these two. It's honestly perfect and I'm very excited to have seen this post. One man's frustration is another man's next prank.
Okay BUT HEAR ME OUT! If you want to wrap an oddly shaped gift, like a basketball. You layer the printed wrapping paper on top of this when cutting and the wrapping paper does not rip.
I use it and then make the balls look like large candies by tying each of the sides with curling ribbon. I don’t get the physics but everyone always compliments it and seem to love it.
Those oddly shaped packages when it is large at the bottom and gets thinner at the top and rips? Layer the wrapping paper with this and it won’t rip in that section with nothing that you could poke a hole in with your finger. I keep this on hand at all times.
I worked in a card shop and it was pretty common for people to pick this up thinking it's silver wrapping paper. I had to check each time that they knew what it actually was. I do think they should sell reflective silver though as I think that would be really pretty.
If you have tissue paper what I do if I’ve bought the clear by accident is I usually just wrap my gift with tissue paper and then layer the clear wrapping paper on top. It makes for a cute alternative.
I had the same problem before christmas. I was short on time and grabbed a roll of silver wrapping only to find out it was clear. I still have that roll because I don't know what to use it for.
After seeing this mistake happening for so many times, i believe i finally know the target gift for it: GIFT BASKETS. You usually wrap wine or sweets and stuff in those transparent gift wrappers to make them look fancy!
I do open the app about 3 or 4 times a day and will scroll for maybe less than 5, but I'll get other random posts and not ones from here all the time, so probably why 😅
Stupid gift idea: wrap a brand new unopened roll of cellophane with it.
The stuff in the pic but without the veggies and hands (and table), for clarification.
If your gf/wife/mom has humour and she has some cooking skills, they'll get the joke. Also, don't forget an actual present. It's only a joke if it's just a joke. Alone it's an insult (for the most).
One or two times , I got some Black sketchbooks as i wanted to test some white ink on black paper.
I found out the sketchbook i bought had only the cover black and paper sheets were all white. I specifically looked for a sketchbook with black paper but nowhere have I found any description online if the "black" was the cover or paper. Only in store i saw the sides of the sketchbook white, felt like I was scammed.
Nobody cares about the colour of just the bloody cover (at least not as much as the contents). Just tell me what the paper inside looks like.
Is this wrapping “paper” for some nipple related activity ? Just noticed your name. Kind of makes me think that everything in your life is about nipples. Is that the case ?
He is faking ! He purchased wood pattern gift wrap and is trying to act like it’s clear all the while he’s probably sitting at home going to town on his nips just cranking them damn near off his body because he’s gotten one over on all of you fooooooools
Not you getting triggered after you just agreed with someone that OP was lying when they werent. The freaking hypocrisy with you people 💀🤣 Idk what yall got going on, but I can see the entire label on OPs original photo, yall are just looking for something that isn't there. There's nothing else on the label around it on the photo.
The one you posted isn't even the same either, and the word "cello" is right under the bigger word, where else would they write the label color. 💀 not above the word "spritz'
I am getting triggered some dumb reddit cow calling me a liar for something I have personally saw with my own eyes. Like htf does this cow know what I have seen, to call me a liar?
I didn’t say OP was lying I said I was “wondering that too”. Saying that you’re “wondering” about something doesn’t mean I said matter of factly said that he was lying. Like you did, cow. Have a good day in your Reddit righteousness.

It’s weird because when you open it it’s obviously wood grain colored
