The last thing you want this Christmas is a sore back from all that festive prep. Whether you’re a wrapping wizard or a last-minute scrambler, these tips will help keep aches and pains at bay...
✨ Use a table, countertop, or even an ironing board at waist height. Keep scissors, ribbon, tags, pens, and paper within arm’s reach. Avoid sitting on the floor!
✨ Wrap a few gifts at a time, and schedule breaks to stretch your muscles. Pace yourself.
✨ Skip tricky wrapping - use bags, tissue paper, tape dispensers, or cutters to save time and your back.
✨ Stand in supportive shoes, keep the paper roll behind you, and bring presents to the table rather than reaching.
✨ Stretch! Even a few minutes of gentle stretches will help prevent aches after wrapping.
