wrap it up

Time to finish

Wrap it up means to bring something to a close or finish it, often with a sense of tidying the final details: Let's wrap it up for today.

The phrase suggests bundling loose ends together, like wrapping a package.

It's commonly used to signal that time is running out or that someone should conclude what they're doing: The director told the crew to wrap it up.
