Christmas gift wrapping fancy or not?

it is nice if you are not a busy person, why not. Sometimes, I preserved gift wraps and ribbons and reuse them sometimes, I just carefully remove the present inside and keep the box with still wrapped and with ribbons. By I don't wrap anymore, what I did last year at home, was, i put everything in riddle and see if my niece,nephew and sisters will be able to find where I put my gift. I bought quite expensive gifts so the thinking and solving the riddles worth it. we had fun, and my nephew, was expressed his thoughts (he is always the quiet type) "tita, this is so great, exciting and unique you are really smart.

CUTE! If I were unwrapping one of your presents, I would not want to ruin the presentation. I am a terrible wrapper. I don't even care what it ends up looking like. Usually it's all runched and horrible and ripping in some places. I am sooo not detail oriented when it comes to it, like you are. But I do agree that hwen they are wrapped nicely, it looks nicer (obviously). I wish I had your patience and/or creativity.

I try hard to make them look really cute....in other words, I do my best, lol! I would put the candy canes on them anyways..I'm sure your son and dil will know this, but it would make it look adorable. I do use bags though too, and try to put the tissue paper up and pretty with bows on the outside of the bags. I sometimes buy flat ornaments that are suppose to be put on trees, but I use them for the packages and that brightens them up too.

I like being creative and at the same time practical with my Christmas wrapping. One year I used dressing making pattern paper and added ribbons to it. Another time I used newspapers but to make it enticing, I chose those with memorable headlines or an article that is appropriate for the recipient. Like for a fashion loving cousin, I'd choose articles about fashion designers or for more politically inclined uncles, I'd choose interesting political headlines. Last year I used old magazine and created a montage for each one. Of course there were years when I was too busy and just ended up getting some nice wrapping paper and tag it.

I wrap my own gifts, except for one I bought at a mall store. They had some school kids out from and for 1.00 wrapped a very nice gift with big bow.

That is wonderful. Sometimes I put fancy on the gift wrap if have time. Sometimes I just wrap it with wrapper. The thing is I'm always in the rush doing christmas shopping and wrapping. It is really good to put fancy, it makes the gift special. Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

I tend to just wrap and tape, well I do not wrap the presents, as my mum and daughter wrap all of mine, as my hands are not as good as they use to be and I would be for ever there just trying to wrap one. My daughter is the one who always makes her gifts that she do look so good, bows, ribbons as well as those sequins, very posh looking.

I like to do both. I love to wrap the kids' presents with paper and a bow with cute disney and winnie the pooh paper. If I can't find some cute/pretty paper, then I prefer to put the gifts in a bag with tissue paper sticking out at the top. I don't do fancy ribbons, but I do love the look of them. Very pretty. Sometimes wrapping a gift can be just as exciting as giving the gift and it sounds like you have a lot of fun when it comes to wrapping your gifts.

Hi friend, good to know about your wrapping taste. We must give more attention while packing the Christmas gift, it will attract others with its look and make them to get curious about the gift

I'm not good in wrapping gifts but I always love trying out different kind of wrappers and different ways of wrapping my gifts. A lot of people including me, do appreciate a gift that had been effortly wrapped. It adds up to the gift inside.
