A savvy shopper has revealed her handy hack when it comes to wrapping presents – and it involves nothing more than a mop and two chairs.
Amanda Coulter, from the UK, shared a snap, which she is believed to have first seen on Snapchat, to Facebook group Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks.

‘What a brilliant idea,’ enthused one, while a second joked: ‘Why wasn’t this posted a few weeks ago? That would of saved me drinking 3 bottles of wine!!’

‘Get a cello tape dispenser and you are sorted.’
A third decided on an even easier option and explained: ‘Got so much to wrap this year I’m thinking of gift bags instead.’
