Are you a gift bag person, or a gift wrapper?

Well, are you a gift bag user, or a wrapper? I used to wrap everyone’s presents, and I’d get really creative in how I adorned the paper. Two years ago, I just got weary of it, and went to all gift bags. As you can see, on Christmas morning this year, Annelyn was very happy to open her present from grandpa and grandma.

I mostly wrap presents. I don’t do a beautiful job of wrapping them but they look okay and it gets the job done. If I have more time next year maybe I’ll try new beautiful ways to wrap things like I saw on Pinterest.

I prefer the easy and quick way of gift bags and resort to that when something is an odd shape and hard to wrap. However, the kids seem to get more joy out of unwrapping gifts, so I usually wrap 98% of the gifts for Christmas.

@kareng yes kids always seem to enjoy unwrapping gifts more. I prefer that too as it takes them more time and it makes the event last longer.

I don't have the patience to wrap presents. They look like a 4 year old did them. I used to have my ex do them for the niece and nephew. Now I get my neighbor to do them. haha She enjoys it. Gift bags for all!

It depends like gift bags, but wrapping is cheaper .Some gift bags are really beautiful. She should have fun with that dollhouse I think sis might have gotten one for. Christmas one year, but we both played with itII,

I got some gift bags free this year and last year, so that most likely influenced my decision to do gift bags. Because yes, gift bags add up. I always reuse the ones someone gets me, but they still wouldn’t add up to be enough for everyone the following year.

That is the funniest and cutest expression on Annelyn's face! I do both, bags and boxes. I love the printed boxes that are so easy to use.

Oh yes, those boxes are great, and you can use them again.

@AmbiePam We have two or three gift boxes that seem to show up at Christmas and circulate among us. Everybody knows to save them.

I am more of a gift bag person than a gift wrapper person.

I think a lot of guys are probably. Which isn’t a bad idea.

I used to do both. I would tailor it to the person. Now I don't really have anyone to do that stuff for.

She looks so happy and excited, it is a really good picture of her. I usually wrap gifts for the family, but if we are invited to a party for someone that isn't family, I tend to use gift bags. It is fun to dress them all up with tissue paper and ribbon.

For me, it depends. I try to reuse the gift bags I have but sometimes I'll wrap things. That sure is an excited face!

I do both. I only have 3 gifts per year to give out; and they're usually a gift card, sometimes with another small gift. Cute picture. Have a good day.

I use gift bag for most occassions. It is more convenient and easy , plus you would save time and effort in case you are doing the wrapping. Most times, I have noticed people are not very appreciative of gift wraps as were during the earlier times. However , for special occasions, I have the gift wrapped well. It needs to be very special according to me, to have the gift wrapped. Plus , if the people like the wrapping , then that gives a bigger motovation to have things wrapped. I still do it but it has become rare. Happy to see Annelyn happy to see with her present for Christmas. Enjoy the weekend!

Annelyn's reaction is awesome ! I do both, depending on the gift - and whatever I have . Gift bags are definitely way easier though .

Last year I was a gift bag user. This year, I wrapped all the gifts. Not good at it though.

Either really, though bags are more convenient.
