Beautiful presents!

Son wraps entire apartment in wrapping paper

A 20-year-old from London has surprised his mother with an original gift: Maks Majewski decorated his home with wrapping paper - it took him almost a week to cover even the smallest objects with colorful paper. The young man even wrapped bananas individually with great attention to detail.

Maks played a Christmas joke on his family when they were out of town for a few days: the 20-year-old needed 114 rolls of Christmas paper, for which he invested the equivalent of around 230 euros. For five days, he spent 18 hours a day wrapping the entire apartment in wrapping paper - he filmed the action and published it on the video platform TikTok.

He also captured the reactions of his family on camera - they could hardly believe the transformation. His mother Anna covers her mouth in shock at the sight. Maks' sisters Julia (16) and Suzie (10) seem to be very impressed by the decoration. 

"I was afraid my mother would shout at me," Maks told the Daily Mail. "My mother had just been speaking Polish when she saw it and she just said, 'Wow: 'Wow.' She could see the effort that went into it."

"They thought it was just a silly prank, but then they saw all the details and actually complimented it and said it was possibly one of the best things they'd ever seen," the young Brit enthuses. "Looking back, it was 100 percent worth it," he sums up.

"Haven't wrapped a single one of my presents yet"
However, he didn't imagine the amount of work involved would be so great: "When I started, I thought it would take a day or two, but then you realize how much work it is." He got bad back pain. The chairs were the hardest part, he says, and it took him an hour and a half to pack each one. He also wrapped the cutlery individually in paper, but you can't see that in the video. As a result of the campaign, however, he is lagging behind with other preparations: "I haven't even wrapped a single one of my presents yet, so that's on the to-do list."
