I'm done...wrapped & ready!! :-)

[sue_88]

Everything is wrapped and after these photos were taken, everything was bagged up ready for our travels!! Here's our stash .... All ready for Santa now!!

Showing off my photos:

My LOs stash, and stocking. She having a "Crafty Christmas" so her gifts are Aquadoodle, and GoVinci Art backpack (with the bows), crayons, paints, art kit, colour books, Sofia the First mini magnetic scribbler, the she's got a bath hamper gift (wash, sponge, net with toys) and her stocking is wooden themed. She hasn't got much this year as last year I went nuts and it ended up with me and my sister just ripping open the presents at the end of the day so we've been reserved this year and I've also bought a yearly pass to the aquarium, and dumped an extra chunk of cash into her bank.

Last I just need to complete my Grandad's gift from Millie. It's a box frame with scrabble letters spelling "Great Grandad" her footprints and a professional photo which she had taken this morning

Last week I was so stressed with Christmas that my whole mouth flared up in ulcers (usual for me when stressed) but now I've done all this everything has calmed down & I'm back to normal. Just need to attempt packing a suitcase now for 2.5weeks travelling!!

Your presents are wrapped so nicely...It's how I think mine will look but they never end up looking like that.

Very impressed! Well done!

Beautifully wrapped and love the hampers.

I hear you on being more reserved this year, I've been the same. I did my list I want to get and except for one dinosaur train that snuck into my Amazon basket ... I've been pretty much on track!

Last year was ridiculous but who can blame us ... It was the first christmas!

 

[sue_88]

This was last year...I mean seriously what the hell lol! All the ribbon and bows, by the end of my day (even week actually because we left some in another room) me and my sister were so peed off we were just tearing into the gifts and casting them aside

I hope she'll enjoy opening them this year. I too had a basic list and stuck too it with the exception of the mini scribbler and the backpack which were both on offer so cheap lol! I've mostly used vouchers so she's cost me about £20...if that actually!

 

[felix555]

Was about the same here last year .. no regrets

This has inspired me to finish my last bit of wrapping now!

 

[meldmac]

Lovely gifts!

 

[Leliana]

Lovely! You wrap so nicely too

 

[dizzy65]

Great gifts

Looks lovely! I've tried to be a bit more reserved this year, partly cos I know the in-laws have gone mad!!! We'll probably still be opening 3 days after Christmas!
