What drives me up the wall is my wife buying 3x as much wrapping paper as required just so she can wrap the gifts for the neighbours.

You know, those things which are so effectively disguised by a layer of so thin it's practically translucent pound stretcher wrapping paper, such as tubs of chocolates and bottles of wine...
