What should I do with piles?!

[R_x]

My boys are close in age and i can't decide weather to a pile each or just have it all together?
They will be sharing everything anyways and don't think either will understand "that's your brothers pile"
What do you ladies think?

 

[sabby52]

Your title made me laugh

I would put a few bits in a pile each, something that they know is theirs then put all the rest together xx

 

[kimbobaloo]

i read the title and thought wrong section
but what sabby said

 

[Savannah11]

Haha your title also made me laugh! I'd definitely go for separate piles hun x

 

[R_x]

If I do separate means I've got to sort it out so each pile is kinda the same

 

[Savannah11]

^^ do whatever works out best for you hun x. X

 

[mandy81]

Lol
Love the title

Like the other ladies said Hun, do what works for you x

get some cream from your local chemist.




No seriously if you dont think they will 'get' thats yours and thats your brothers do a present each in different paper then a huge pile of the rest x

 

[R_x]

Thanks everyone still unsure what to do but want to start wrapping lol. I will def do separate piles next year. But it's hard ATM with the sharing everything and being close in age

Piles lol!!

I have a boy and a girl so I have just done different coloured wrapping paper and I'm going to jumble them all up! x

 

[Mummy2B21]

I think it doesnt realy matter either way if you do one big pile maybe they could take turns opening them so they can all see what theyv got. X

What age are they Hun? My boys will be 2 and a half and 8 months so in gonna do separate piles but if Jackson and Hollie want to open Kaiden's they can because he obviously won't. I know Jackson will play with most of Kaiden's as they are obvious noisy toys and he will want to get involved!

I think I would do separate piles, but not stress too much if they open each other's. If they know their colours you could wrap them in different coloured paper, so they know one has red presents and the other has blue, for example.

I'm putting all mine together but they are wrapped in two different papers so I can tell dd1 to only open the presents with her wrapping paper on. Although like you there close in age and majority of presents will be shared.

 

[meldmac]

I'd do two separate piles with different colors.

We have the whole families jumbled up under the tree. One of my favourite parts of christmas is pulling present out under the tree one by one and seeing who it's for. it adds to the excitement for me x

 

[Chellxx]

I have seperate paper but they will all just go under the tree. and Maycie will obv not be opening any as she is too tiny so Frazer will probably open them all or i'll be opening them until i take the decorations down haha.

Next year i think i will do the same, different paper but all jumbled up under the tree.

 

[sarahchops86]

oooh I dont know now... my lo's are 12 months apart so pretty much share everything. But my DD is going through the whole "BUT THATS MINE! THAT'S LEXIES ONE!!" so while I'd love to jumble them up I dont think that would be good for lexie's christmas temperament! In fact, thinking about it, might have the two piles faaaaaaaaar apart as Logan is bound to wanna get in on opening lexies presents. I predict a riot!

 

[motherofboys]

i would do a couple of things each and the rest together, or all together if you dont think they will understand.
i have always done them their own piles, i have a small gap between the 1st 2 and only 2 years between the next. but if everything was to share i know mine would fight.
another alternative is if you are not yet done do everything you have to share and a couple of bit "doubled" like all mine will be getting some things that are the same just a different colour, or character.

How old are they?
I would do a main pile with most of the presents to share then a little pile each just so they do have their own bits to open separately!
