Show us your wrapping!

I always find if u use expensive paper for the kids they struggle to open it coz it tends to be more plastic-y. Or at least that’s my excuse :haha:


I also find this too ! It doesn’t rip as easily ! Love all the paper sadly I’ve not wrapped a single present yet !

It’s a nightmare even for adults so the kids don’t stand a chance :haha:

Especially the way I wrap lol I have to stick every corner down oops !!

I am going to wrap later ! Is that Tartan paper from Aldi Bev !? I was looking at that today and put it back lol

Thank you it looks lovely ! Thankfully I go past Aldi everyday lol going in tomorrow for a unicorn cushion ! (And now the wrapping paper !)
 
Wrapped DD1s looks like loads (which it is) but kost of it are cheaper items like books, pens, games etc. Not many toys really as we have everything!

Santa gifts and stockings to add.

Maybe it is too much, oh well to late now! :)

Lucky little girl.
 
I took photos of my girls wrapped stashes, don't think I put them on here though. dd3/dd2/dd1s piles. Each of them have 19 presents, which wasn't planned, was trying to make them as even as possible but didn't expect them to be exactly the same!

Lovely wrapping everyone. I’m like a child trying to guess what each present is!
 
Sorry these pictures aren't the best (they were taken on my phone and we have poor lighting in our house) but here are the presents for DS1. I wrapped each present and then put them in a bag for each of them that way they are all together. I didn't get a chance to wrap the interactive zoo yet but everything else is all set!

These are the presents for DD2. Again, I didn't get the chance to wrap her puppy dog. Her bag was smaller than the others because I hadn't planned on getting her much (she is still at an age where she's not really "in" to anything) but I went a little overboard :blush:

Btw pic #3 was probably the hardest of any of the kids presents to wrap LOL

Here are the presents for DD1. She had a bag full and one big present that wouldn't fit in the bag. The only one whose presents I haven't wrapped yet is for the baby so I'll have to post his later when I get around to it :)

That looks great :) I love your colourful Christmas lights too :xmas9:
 
I THINK this was last year - I'm not sure. No photos of this year because someone decided to smash my camera. :growlmad:

But paper has to look good together and has to look good against my black tree and purple and silver decorations. And I'm so anal about how well wrapped and presented everything is - as you can see. :haha: Everyone gives me absolute CRAP for it. :rofl: This year I have used the purple and green paper again because I had a tonne of it as well as a dark grey one.

Why do we do that to ourselves? Every year I tell hubby 'I'm not getting presents that are going to be a pain to wrap' but I still do it every year. Then when I can't wrap them nicely and spend an hour with paper tearing and me getting pissed off, he sits there laughing knowing what I'm going to say and do again the following year. :dohh:
