who loves to wrap presents?? it doesn't have to be just Christmas presents, it can be birthday gifts or whatever the occassion. I know a lot of people who don't like to wrap presents. I on the other hand love to wrap presents. I take my time and make them look so neat and beautiful. Like an art.

I love to buy gifts for family and friends in every occasions but wrapping time is what I hate most. I'm no good at wrapping anything. No matter how I tried my best I could not wrapped the gift so neatly. All I can do is to make it a decent one. I know people who can wrapped gifts so nicely. My sister is good in wrapping gifts so she's the official wrapper lady in the family but sometimes she don't want to wrapped gifts. She complains its easy to do so why not wrapped my own gifts. It was easy to say but hard for me to do. I don't wrapped gifts like the way she do.

I really do enjoy wrapping presents. However, I usually am so busy and wait until the last minute in order to do so. At that point I am absolutely deluged with presents to wrap and then it becomes a real chore. As usual, I have not started wrapping up any presents yet. But I plan to do so next week when the kids are back in school. I have to do it before their school vacation starts. Next Friday is their last day and then they will be home. I guess I better get busy on it. [b] Have a great day and happy myLotting!!! [/b]

I like to wrap presents most of the time but I would have to say that I am not that good at it. It doesn't matter how much time I take trying to make it look real nice and have perfect corners it never seems to look quite right when I am finished. I have never given up though and try and practice at every chance I get!!! I guess I won't ever have a career in it though!!

I do not hate to wrap presents but just a little bit clumsy to make the presents look nice. I used to wrap the presents for my girl friend. But nowadays I use nice gift box instead. Other time, my wife will help me do all the wrappings. And she is just like you, she loves to wrap presents nicely and always come out with some "unique" way of wrapping.

Hi, Shy! I love wrapping presents, but then I love everything about giving gifts. The wrapping is the icing on the cake, though. The last final step in making your present complete. There's something about it that makes me positively giddy. I start to think about how much the person the gift is for is going to enjoy it, and about other gifts I've given that person in the past. It's honestly joyous, and I'm not quick to use words like "joyous". I'm extremely sentimental, and I think that's just one more thing to be sentimental about.

i like giving gifts that are neatly and nicely wrapped, but since i am not a very artistic person, i leave the giftwrapping part to someone else.what i'd usually do is to make sure that the store has a giftwrapping counter before buying presents.there are stores that have giftbags as well.

I like to make them pretty pr fun. For the kids birthday, I always tape candy and small presents to the outside. My mom is trying to find more imaginative ways. She is giving a gift that came in a large box. Instead of using a whole role wrapping paper, she painted the box, then attached old Christmas cards where the print came through. I thought this was a great idea!

wrapped presents - The presents that I wrapped which have different wrapping paper for each person.
I dont really mind wrapping presents but when I have a ton of presents to wrap and it takes like 3 hours a night and takes two nights to get it done then I get really sick of wrapping. Luckily its only once a year this happens that I have to wrap so much all at once. For birthdays you only have one person to get a present for so the wrapping doesnt take more then a few minutes. I had 7 peoples presents for Christmas to wrap for. I did all their presents in different wrapping paper thats about as creative as I got lol.

I will gladly send all of mine to you to be wrapped. I hate doing, I have never liked doing it, it is the part a fear and hate most about Christmas. Usually it ends up taking me hours, and hours to get it all done. I am not particularly good at it either, although I can do it. But I have never learned to become efficient at it. I can see how it can be rewarding especially if one has a talent for doing really beautiful wrapping jobs, it is just not a job for me.

I used to love to wrap gifts when I was younger. I would beg my mom to let wrap any presents that we were giving to people for birthdays, Christmas, etc. I have since tired of that....I don't really enjoy wrapping presents anymore because I find that life gets so busy for me now. Wrapping gifts just feels like a chore to me. So I usually just use gift bags for presents.

I don't ever wrap. I just put the gifts in a nice paper bag and scotch tape the ends.

i am so challanged when it comes to wrapping! i am very crafty when it comes to other things (like card making and making glass ornaments) but can never do a very good job on wrapping presents! it could be because i dont like wrapping them perhaps, that is why i start in october so i only have to do a couple a day!

I always have someone else wrap my presents every year. I only buy for my wife, she buys for everyone else, so it is only the presents to her that I need wrapped, she wraps all of the other presents, and grumbles about it every year. I used to have my mom wrap my gifts to my wife, but she is no longer with us, so either my mother in law will do it or my best friends mom. I am just no good at it.

I have to say that while wrapping presents is fun it's not my favorite. I think that unwrapping them is more fun then wrapping them, but it would have to depend on if you are excited about what you got for someone.

I loved to be all fancy on wrapping presents. Now I often simply don't have the time. I have time robbers in my house. There is three of them. They are sneaky. I haven't caught them red handed yet but time just seems to disappear when they are around.. alas, no time to properly wrap a present;)

I love wrapping presents as well. I will wrap Christmas gifts, birthday gifts and Valentine Gifts. I wrap them slowly and my gifts always turn out so beautiful. People are always coming to me asking me to wrap their gifts that they may have bought for someone else. Just because they know that I am good at wrapping gifts.
