Taking to social media, the mum revealed the to wrap your in seconds without having to lean over and deal with back pain the next day.
In the clip, she stood in her front room holding a broom and an ironing board.
She said: “Christmas hack, you need a broom, two hangers, an ironing board.
She first got a hanger and threaded it through her ironing board before grabbing the broom and pulling that through the hanger.
Once done, she got a roll of wrapping paper and put the broom handle through it.
Once done, she got the second hanger and threaded that through the ironing board and end of the broom.
This then kept the wrapping paper in place and allowed you to quickly unravel it.
Once that was set up, she then took a pair of scissors and tape dispenser and placed it to her side for easy access.
“Another cool thing is, ironing boards are really adjustable, so I can sit down and do my wrapping too. Isn’t that cool?” she added.
This meant she could unwrap the paper, place the present on top and quickly wrap all from the comfort of her sofa.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @ claire.lee44 with over 7.3 million views and 459k likes.
People were left stunned in the comments and couldn’t wait to give the wrapping hack a try.
One person wrote: “I’m not using my brain to its full capacity.”
Another commented: “This woman deserves a medal! That’s other worldly thinking!”
“This needs to be the most viral video of 2025. Genius!” penned a third.
Best Christmas gifts for mums
Struggling to find the perfect present for your mum?
The team have shared the gifts from their wish lists they’d love to receive from their kids this Christmas.
Indulge in a little pamper
Massage, , Senior Reporter
“I’m finding it increasingly difficult to think of things I want as Christmas rolls around every year. So I’ve decided to step away from the slippers and skincare and go down a different route. This year, I’m hoping to find a massage voucher under the tree. Not only does going for a massage give me a chance to enjoy some me-time – a rare treat with two kids and a full-time job – but it also helps support local businesses, many of whom are struggling as people cut back on such ‘luxury’ appointments.”
Luxury face cream, , Senior Reporter
“You can never go wrong with Elemis! A luxurious night face cream like the Pro-Collagen Night Cream , £86, is on my wish list this year to help me feel refreshed at the end of a busy day (and hopefully look a little less exhausted by the time I wake up!)”
Face mask, Natalie Clarke, Fab Daily
“My teenage daughter introduced me to Korean skincare and I’m hooked – the gorgeous textures and scents are a cut above rival products in the same price range. For Christmas, I’d love to find Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask in my stocking, to soothe my soul and pep up my weary winter skin. A divine treat for just £12.39 from Superdrug.”
Hobby-inspired
Running gloves, , Commissioning Editor
“I’m all about practical gifts at Christmas. Pink is my favourite colour, and I’ve recently graduated from Couch To 5k, so a pair of Proviz touchscreen running gloves , £19.99, tick all the boxes. Not only will they protect my hands from the frost this winter, but I’ll still be able to scroll through my Spotify playlist while I pound the pavements.”
Wardrobe upgrade
Cashmere socks – Lydia Major,
“I’ve read too many articles telling me to ‘bin my trainer socks’ and that they make Gen Zers snigger behind my ‘frumpy mum’ back, so a couple of pairs WITH ankles would be perfect. M&S has some Pure Cashmere socks in six colours for £30, but the best bit…they’re machine washable, so I can’t shrink them…hopefully!”
Handbag – Sarah Barns,
“Nothing helps you feel more put together than a nice handbag. And, this M&S slouchy cross-body bag ticks all the right boxes. An on-trend print, a purse-friendly price and a detachable strap so you can use it both day and night. Win!”
Personalised jewellery
Rebecca Miller,
“I may not be a mum, but I am a brilliant gift-giver. And what’s more thoughtful for that incredible woman in your life than a personalised piece of jewellery? The skilled team at Merci Maman engrave gorgeous necklaces and bracelets, with names, initials or a special date.”
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Damn, this is genius! Finally a use for my ironing board.”
“This has got to be the best hack ever!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “You just elevated my setup!”
