I hate all the wrapping up.I always buy more wrapping paper than i need,so there is always some left over,except last year we used nearly all of the wrapping paper,so now i have got to get some.I tend to buy those large rolls of wrapping paper,so it looks like i have got to put a large order in to Studio to get all that i will need.I have loads of gift tags,but hardly no paper.

I did a lot of early Christmas shopping this year. Hopefully I'll be done in November. I hate shopping when the stores are all crowded in December. I also hate wrapping gifts. I'm just horrible at it. Wrapping gifts should be easy but I make it difficult.

Well your ahead of me....i have no gifts yets, no gift tags and one roll of wrapping paper from last year. I hate wrapping as well and get stuck doing it every year by myself because my husband works in the day when the kids are gone and that is when i do the wrapping. I know that I could easily do it at night in a private area while the kids are sleeping and then my husband could help me but I am afraid that they would wake up and walk in and i dont want to take that chance so I just go ahead and do it all in the day time while that are at school...I sometimes wish I could pay someone to do it LOL

Wow you certainly dont procrastinate like I do. I pick up things that I find on sale ahead of time and store them way but as far as actually going out and getting all my Christmas shopping now I wouldnt bother. So many things come out from here until Christmas and if I get all my shopping done now and something really awesome comes out around Christmas time then I will be upset that I didnt wait and got the new better present that someone might like more then the original present I bought.

I am almost done Christmas shopping also! I buy a lot of stuff online and in catalogs and I have to have it done before it snows. If we get a lot of snow the mailman can't come down my driveway and I have to go to the post office to pick it up. Being disabled it is hard for me to pick it up, so I do it early so it can be delivered. I used to love to wrap, but now I hate it. I use bags when I can instead of wrapping because it is much easier.

Wow, that is so...fast! Me, I still have to make my Christmas list! I wish I'm on some people else's wish I usually stock up on wrapping papers, too. Last year, though, I didn't use gift tags. Instead, I found stickers. I bought them because they're more convenient.

I tend to buy paper when it goes on sale after Christmas and get enough to last a while. I still have a bunch in one of our closets. I don't always have enough boxes for gifts so I have to get them every year cause they take too much room to keep.

Ewww, good for you. I used to do all my Christmas shopping in July, but I have not started yet this year. Everything is backwards.

Well good for you, I haven't even thought about Christmas shopping yet. Every year it seems like its getting to be a chore to me, I know it shouldn't be that way, but its so hard buying for people, I can't ever figure out what they would want or like. You get two thumbs up for being ahead..if I was closer to you I'd do all your wrapping, I like it better than the shopping..haha.

Wow! You are so prepared! You already have your shopping done!? It's so early! That's awesome though that all you need is really just the wrapping paper - that's the easy/inexpensive part. lol.

I enjoy the wrapping. I try to mak eit a challenge for someone to get into my parcels. It does irritate some people, but they are gradually getting used to the idea after a few years.

Well, as I refuse to be a part of the commercialization of Christmas, I will not be giving or excepting any gifts this Christmas! I even try to buy my groceries in huge quantities to miss the dreadful repetitious music wafting round in the store. Christmas is the Money season! Some make it, and others spend it! All are greedy for it! This is the Christmas Spirit we hear so much about! Perhaps I'm just an old scrooge! Waiting for Christman Present to be Christmas Past.

You have finished your Christmas shopping? Wow I am impressed! I haven’t even thought about it yet and probably won’t until November at least! I know what you mean about paper, last year I gave all my gifts out in gift bags and didn’t bother wrapping any of them!

Gee, you are organised! It is still two and a half months away! I don't buy too many things for people at Christmas time, so I tend to do everything last minute!

My boat is a different one than you are in. I've already bought some of the presents and also some of the wrapping paper, but I'm not done with either of them. I bought the paper that I have for this year at the sales on the day after Christmas. This makes the most sense for me because I am able to save a load of money by buying it at that time. However, I'm hoping to be able to give more gifts this year so I will probably need more paper than I bought last year. Kudos to you on being done with your Christmas shopping.

I haven't gone Christmas shopping yet, i usually do that at the last minute. For the wrappers, i still have a few left last Christmas same with the tags. Im thinking of recycling white scratch pares in the office. I'll just paint it with gold or silver and put a red ribbon. We have done that before in the office and we won first prize for recycling.
