Wrapping The Presents!! (Blogmas Day 10)

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE wrapping gifts. I'm the sort of person who goes all out with this; pretty paper, ribbons, bows, name tags and all. Does anyone else love wrapping gifts all pretty? Especially with some Christmas music (or Vlogmas videos) in the background!

However this skill, or talent if you will, clearly does not apply when it comes to shopping for my boyfriend. Because I am truly clueless. If you're looking for some kind of guide for the ideal gifts to buy your boyfriend, I am very sorry because what you have stumbled across here is far from that; this is a rant. Because I am truly confused, why is it so hard to shop for your boyfriend?? Maybe I'm alone here and I'm sounding crazy. And it's not that my boyfriend is overly picky or has high expectations. However I'm used to being able to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list and for some reason I just can't put my finger on what it would be. I can think of things he would like, sure.
