I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.
This dude hasn’t wrapped with the good shit. Serious creases. No unexpected rips. Scissors glide smoothly for the cut.
Spend a few extra bucks and be a wrap god.
I got a somewhat fancy pair of origami scissors form a little Japanese market near me. The wrapping paper glide is amazing. I’ve never had so many near perfect edges before this pair of scissors.
I worked retail enough to say that there’s a skill barrier to both the cheap and expensive stuff, and so to the difference being relevant.
Man, I hated gift wrapping when I worked retail. I sucked at it and as a customer you don’t consider that you’re just sitting there watching somebody do this thing live until you have to do it while being judged by some random stranger that has nothing better to do than stare at you.
