Christmas Wrapping?

I wish. By the time I get to wrapping things it's chaos and I've lost the sellotape dozens of times. I'm just happy to get them wrapped . I do look at other people's wonderful wrappings though and think next year.

I'd love to have beautifully wrapped matching gifts. If i had time to do it over several days or weeks I would maybe have a go. But half of my gifts travel with me in Eurostar + TGV so if they're already wrapped they're a mess, the rest are shipped to France directly, so I use my mum's wrapping paper once I get there and have to wrap all the gifts in record time. Stressful.

Mine gets wrapped in whatever paper I can find in the house! Otherwise they go in a bag

I have a different wrapping paper for each child. That way they can't swap the tags ! all the presents are from us and they get one present each from santa under the tree wrapped specially with ribbon and bow.

I am thinking to not wrap this year....all of that paper just ends up in the bin....like rubbish ....also the gifts already packed in something.

Using brown paper is a great alternative to classic wrapping paper and can be fun to decorate with paint/stamps/pens to personalise your gifts

I wrap all mine in brown paper and string as this can be recycled where as ordinary wrapping paper cannot be recycled and is wasteful and bad for the environment. This year i am going to use stamps or paint to decorate my wrapped gifts

If I buy anyone a gift, I just give it them "as it is" and tell them I've saved them the trouble of unwrapping it. I like to be helpful.

I love the idea of making my own (adding stamps and personalised labels) but I don't feel its worth the effort and the cost, but i love looking at all the shiny bows and ribbon.

The only theme and co-ordinating I do is making sure that I use the same paper for the same person if they have multiple gifts, and different paper for different people. That just makes it visually easier for me though.

I do love wrapping gifts, but I hate the thought of wasting wrapping paper every time, as it’s unnecessary waste. I try to save old wrapping paper, or one year I just used newspaper with specific articles that relate to the individuals in one way or another

Last year I tried to be eco friendly and bought brown standard wrapping paper as this can go in the recycling bags. I decorated each gift with ribbons and bows. I hope to the same this year, I’m sure I’ve a large roll of paper somewhere but can’t remember where!

I do love to use one type of wrapping for all presents and I love putting the thin ribbon round and twirling the ends with the side of the scissors. Gift tags are usually trimmed from the previous years cards.

I have accumulated loads of decorations over the years so I have a different colour scheme every 2nd or 3rd year and do my wrapping in same colours i.e red/gold, blue/silver.
