Gift Wrapping: Do you do it or you ask the shop?

I usually buy gifts from my friend's shop who know me very well.Actually dont know how to wrap a gift so i ask his shop employess to wrap a gift for me because i dont know how to.

I prefer to do it myself. I think it's fun. i like to get creative too. like put little toys & all kinds of ribbons & stuff. If it's a circular box or some i will just use a gift bag tho lol. i kinda cheat on the odd shaped boxes lol.

I safely trust the shop to do it for me. Here creative idea is no big question but you need to invest some time to do that.

I gift wrap gifts myself. I'm a creative person, so it is something I enjoy doing. And beside, it saves money to do it yourself. I just fold the wrapping the way the box or circle is shaped.

I do my own gift wrapping. I do ask some of the stores if they have boxes around Christmas time Jcpenny's and aeropastale give boxes when you buy stuff from them.

Hello Jemina. Years ago, I was supposed to work at a gift-wrapping counter in a local shop. I was made to attend a small seminar and have a chance on hands-on training on basic gift wrapping. We were also taught how to make a special gift wrap. I do most of the gift wrapping. Not only does it save me time from having to wait in line at gift-wrapping counters but I feel that the gift is made much more special.

I'd like to do it mysef, but am pretty lousy and land up making a mess of it. I'd rather the shop does it for in my selected gift wrapping material.

I wrap gifts myself. It is fun. I like picking the paper. One Christmas I could tell what was in the package by the type of paper I used. It made it easier to pick which gift should be opened next.The last Christmas/Hanukkah I spent with my mom, I spent 5 hours wrapping gifts. it was fun.

I just let the shop to do it for me! But if I still have time I do it myself. I like to wrap it with ribbons on it. I don't wrap it with gift wrapping paper but a different paper. Something not common but elegant to look at it? Anyway have a nice day!

Well; I prefer to have the Gift Wrap done by the Shopkeeper himself or herself .

I never have it done at the store. I always wrap all the presents myself. My husband does not have a clue how to wrap so he always pays the people to wrap it. If the store does not offer gift wrapping then he puts it in a gift bag with pretty tissue paper. That is the easy way out for sure!

Hi Usually I ask the shop to wrap the gift since I am not an expert in gift wrapping. But sometimes I will do this myself. The wrapping should be attractive when you give a gift to some body, especially on an occassion.

I prefer to ask the shopkeepers but if it's a really special gift for someone very special, then I would prefer to do it myself.

You could always put the circular box inside a square box or a gift bag. It's actually fun to put a small gift in a box and wrap it and put that in another box and wrap it and keep going up a few sizes.

Depends on if I have the time or not. Some people invite us at the last minute and I hardly have time to buy the gift...let alone wrap it. But for gifts I buy in advance...I usually wrap it myself..whatever the shape.

Hi Jemina, it mostly depends on the situation and mood. In case I have spare time I would like to wrap it myself. If the gifts are for my loved ones I would like to wrap them myself. It’s really fun to wrap gifts with a creative way. I believe my loved ones are fond to see gifts with special and unique wrapping from me. This shows that how I love and care of them. I have to prepare the gift rather earlier so that I could have enough time to get the stuffs for wrapping. If I don’t have considerable time I then would ask the sale girl of the gift shop to wrap for me. Happy posting and have a nice day!

I do enjoy gift wrapping most of the time but if the store offers it free I usually get it :) A lot of times I'll rewarp the gift when I get home or jazz it up, but I always get my freebies :)

I am not good at wrapping. I tried it and it turns out a mess. I am too cheap to get the store to do it. What I do is to get those fancy decorating bags or bags made out of wrapping paper, and I just put the gift in. It makes it easier and it saves me on tape. And when I get a gift in a gift bag, I save the gift bag and use it another time. I am now just beginning to use them because I have more people to give presents to.

Most department stores give gift wrapping, so I have it wrapped there. But I like wrapping gifts, and i am very particular on the feature, I want it neat, the edges well trimmed. But for easy gift wrapping even if it is a circular box, just prepare a hand made bag for the purpose. Any size will do to that hand bag made gift wrap.

I always do it myself. But that's also because I give gifts I make myself, or I make baskets with little things in it, so it's diffifult to ask in the shop. I'm a frugal person so I don't buy for the occassion, I will buy months in advance if I see a nice offer. That's another reason why it's hard to let it be done. I'm not very creative in gift wrapping, I'm glad I am in giving gifts, it's something at least. Have a nice day
