Random question, does anyone know of somewhere I could get Christmas presents wrapped?

I despise wrapping, I'm terrible at it and I can either pay someone to do it for me or I can add gift bags to my shopping list

Gift bags are your solution. Can get them cheap at the discount variety stores. I reuse them too, if I ever get any given to me. Just make sure to cut the tag off!

Contact your nearest shopping centre they normally do it. Probably a bit out of the way for the city folk but the Salvos are definitely wrapping gifts at Forest Hill Chase for a goldie.

donating an entire golden retriever seems a bit costly for the purpose

Some shoppings centres offer gift wrapping services but you’ll need to find out if they offer it from wherever you want to do it.
