Gift Wrapping

Way To Go Grandpa Bob! I haven't even started on my Christmas shopping yet lol. That is awesome that not only are you done your shopping, but you are now done your wrapping too! You did a great job too by the looks of it! I usually wrap the present, stick on the to: and from: tag, then put a bow on it, and ribbon if I have the time. Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear xx

I haven't even bought any gifts. Thats because I am waiting for hubbys tax cheque to arrive, & I am getting my tax done tomorrow. Then I will start in earnest. I have about 30 people to buy for. And for my immediate family there are multiple presents to buy, especially for my daughter. I wrap them with shop bought, discount Christmas paper. I use tags but no ribbon. I may have a look to see if there is any cheap ribbon to buy this year. Then they are put in a HUGE pile under the tree (which is not up yet). By now your Dad would have returned to yiur home. I will look to see if you have started a discussion about it. Did you receive my 6 photos I sent you via email?

Hello Grandpa Bob, Normally I just wrap a gift plain. You know, the plain vanilla mode - just slap a piece of paper on it and try to be as creative and artistic as I am not. :P I don't normally use ribbons or bows unless I have to have them around. And no, I don't go buying them just to doll up the gift. Somehow this has not occurred to me lol... I prefer things plain. :PP

I see that you are trying to stay busy! I do put ribbons and bows on mine to make them look extra pretty. I ahve in the past wrapped this early. Normally I would wrap as I get them to prevent others in the house from going through them. But this year, I have them in my closet and waiting until I get the urge up to wrap.

I will be wrapping some soon as my kids will be home for Thanksgiving and we will be celebrating Christmas then. I wrap....do bows and ribbons. I love having pretty packages under the tree....it adds to the festivity of the season.

Well i usually dont wrap the gifts as i am always in a hurry to buy gifts for friends or relatives but when i bought the gift on time like a day before then i usually dont allow the shopkeeper to wrap the gift,i only take the gift paper and some decorative material like ribbons or stickers and wrap the gift at home..This time when i bought a gift for my friend i had two things which i had bought for her..I wrapped the bigger gift like a chocolate wrapped in a wrapper and the smaller gift in a envelope.. I love the art of wrapping the gift..

Wow, you are really on the ball Grandpa! I have bought several items and have them hidden in our house, but no wrapping has occured! I usually pick a day and wrap once we put the tree up. I do put bows and ribbons on the packages...as that is the part of Christmas that our cat most looks forward to! By Christmas morning, the ribbons are usually shredded and the bows torn off...but he has had a ball!

Hi Grandpa Bob, I saw this topic, and couldn't resist it.:) No, I've never wrapped gifts this early, and part of the reason is, I don't have any to wrap yet. This is usually the case. I do try to do them before Christmas Eve, because for many years, I'd stay up most of the night wrapping gifts. This will be a really big help to you this year. Finally, yes I do put bows and ribbons on the gifts. It gives that extra touch. Good night, now!:)

I'll have no presents to wrap this year. With the major car repairs a few months ago and overdue bills, I just don't have the money to buy anything this year. I am, however, buying my daughter one present which is next to impossible to wrap being it's so big. Going to sacrifice another bill to get it for her.

Hi grandpa bob:)I wrap my gifts the day before chriatmas,hahaha!Talk about last minute eh??I forget easily whats in the boxes when i wrap them so this way i know that everyones bought for and do not miss someone.I started putting ribbons on the gifts last christmas but always added some cute bowies!Hehehe.Your quite the wrapper!I always end up not having enough scotch tape.Maybe duct tape would do.Its cheaper and bigger,hahaha!Kidding! Peanutjar:)

Hi you there POP! Yeah i add some decorations in my gift wrapping materials. The more it looks nice the more excited they are to open the gift. Happy Posting!

I have had to wrap presents just a week ago. My cousin came to town from New York and they didn't know if they would be back for christmas so I had to a quick wrapping job. I hate having to wrap presents this early it makes me feel that christmas is coming to fast.

i did not wrapped any gifts right now because it is too early for chritmass holiday.. usually we wrapped the gifts the before the christmass..
