I love shopping and buying gifts around the holiday season…but one of the things I really dislike doing is…. WRAPPING THE GIFTS! Seriously, I am not a fan of wrapping a gazillion holiday gifts!
I don’t know if it’s because it’s a time consuming task or if it’s because I really suck at fancy gift wrapping. My mother and my sister wrap their gifts shortly after they purchase them and they always look beautiful. They attach ornaments, little holiday trinkets and big fancy bows onto all of their packages, and they always look impressive.
My package wrapping skills are nothing to brag about! Matter of fact, I always look for FREE gift-wrapping services at our local malls and stores because they do a better job at it than what I do!
I would love to know if you wrap your gifts as you go or if you wrap them all at the very last minute? Are your gift-wrapping skills ho-hum or do you really get into it and fancy them up?
Let’s hear all about your gift-wrapping skills!
I don’t do much wrapping cause most of the presents end up in gift bags. If the present is in a small box, I’ll wrap it, but things like clothes I just toss in a gift bag.
I usually wrap as I pack them since the majority of mine are for out of towners. Soooooooo glad I sent them out the 11th- I broke my right hand the 13th.
I wrap them usually onDecember 23rd. I try to coordinate each person’s gifts with a different wrapping paper and decorations. This year I might take some shortcuts because my arthritis makes everything more difficult.
