My mother asked me for a bit of help yesterday in wrapping up a present for my brother. The gift was a set of grill pans, and she couldn't find a box large enough.

I tried a few of the empty boxes I have lying about, but no soap.

And inspiration struck.

I removed the cardboard connecting the two pans and used it as padding to tape the two securely together. A bit of newspaper was also used. And an empty wrapping paper tube was slipped onto the handles.

I was immediately acclaimed as a genius.
