YOU'VE bagged all the prezzies and now it's time to wrap them before Christmas arrives.

But despite trying your best, the annoying price stickers won't come off and you're sat there rethinking all your life decisions.

Fortunately, one shopping fan's come to rescue with an easy hack just in time for Christmas - and people have even branded her a life saver.

The TikTok user LBMR (@lbmr.xx) took to social media to demonstrate how she removed the annoying special price stickers off her purchase.

Fellow TK Maxx fans will know that their stickers are notoriously challenging to get rid off - but the shopper's found a simple answer.

''They slice the price stickers so that you can't peel them off before checking out,'' LBMR said in her video.

''But this also makes it hard to take the price off when they are gifts.''

Rather than breaking your nails, the whizz recommended grabbing a tiny piece of cello tape and sticking it right on top of the price sticker.

After ensuring the cello tape has stuck to the price properly, grab the end section and pull it off - the countless layers of stickers should all come off easily.

''Just like magic!''

The game-changer of a hack has already gone viral on TikTok, where it's been viewed more than a whopping 3.1million times so far.

Hundreds flocked to comments to than the woman, as well as share their top tricks for this.

One thought: ''just put a damp cloth on it and leave it for a while before peeling off.''

Someone else suggested: ''Use a hairdryer to heat it & it peels off easily…''

''Can also use cooking oil. Thanks for this though gonna try it!'' a third penned.

''U can also use rubbing alcohol and sanitizer,'' a fellow shopper revealed.

From clever presentation tricks to DIY paper, try these at home . . . 

ART ATTACK: Family will love potato-print paper made by little ones.

An adult should slice a potato in half then cut shapes such as triangles or crosses into the spud, then get children to dip it into poster paints and print on to paper.

At The Works, a set of 12 paints is now £3 instead of £4.99.

BAG IT UP: Gift bags can be expensive, so try making your own using wrapping paper.

Use the printable template at homemade-gifts-made-easy.com and cut out the shape from your wrapping paper.

When it comes to bottles, skip the bag and simply wrap diagonally, before tying ribbon around the top — it won’t disguise what it is but it will look good.

PERFECT PACKAGES: If you have been saving any padded envelopes you have received, you can put awkwardly shaped gifts in the envelope then wrap that, which is a lot simpler.

Another easy alternative is to get a 30-pack of foil festive-print drawstring bags, £16.53 at eBay.

Just pop the present in and draw the string..

CRAFT CLEVER: For odd-shaped presents, use more paper then distract by wrapping lots of string around your gift.

Get a 5m roll of brown paper, £1.50, and an 80m ball of string, £1.60, both from Asda.

Then go foraging in your garden or nearby wooded area for fern branches, dried twigs and sprigs of holly.

Tuck these into the string for a designer effect without the spend.
