I Made a Gift Bag That Says “This Took Forever to Wrap” – Lazy Gift Givers Bought 2,000 in 8 Days

I hate wrapping presents. The tape sticks to itself, the paper tears, the bows look like they were tied by a toddler on a sugar high. Every holiday season I end up with a pile of half-wrapped disasters and a serious case of gift-giving guilt.

Last December I was staring at another mangled package when I grabbed one of the INNOSUB Gift Bags 211127cm – medium size kraft paper bags with handles – and wrote “This Took Forever to Wrap” in sharpie across the front.

I laughed, snapped a photo, and threw the gift inside. The recipient loved it. Said it was the most honest gift bag she’d ever seen.

I posted the photo online. By the end of the week I had sold 2,000 bags.

People weren’t buying a bag. They were buying relief. Relief from the pressure of perfect bows and Pinterest-worthy wrapping. Relief from pretending they enjoy spending hours on something that gets ripped open in seconds.

These kraft paper gift bags are sturdy, the handles are strong, and the size is perfect for everything from clothes to candles to that awkward-shaped kitchen gadget. They come in white or brown, fold flat for storage, and ship light.

My customers started sending their own versions: “Wrapped with Love (and Wine),” “Professional Wrapper Quit,” “Good Luck Opening This.” Some added vinyl stickers, others stamped logos for their small businesses.

If you’re a side hustler who dreads wrapping season, this bag is your holiday lifesaver. Low cost in bulk, fast to customize, and customers love the honesty so much they buy multiples.
