Do you wrap as you go?

I am the "Oh crap I need to get these wrapped!" type of person. The on that waits until the last minute.
I still haven't received two of the gifts yet. One was shipped out five days ago. Both of them are coming from Florida. Another was shipped out a day or two before that I believe. Yeah, I guess you could say I am concerned. One I can not track, the other says it's "in transit to next shipping facility."
Are you the wrap as you go? or "Oh no, I gotta wrap!" type?
Do you wrap neatly? Or are you a bad wrapper like me?

That sounds like a really good tradition. Also a good way to make the time go by faster!

@shaggin I never understood that thought process. Your body needs meat it needs the protein.

I wrap right before Christmas usually . If we wrap presents. I don't know if I'll wrap anything this year.

I hate wrapping, but I can't just put it in a grocery bag and go over to my friends. I know they wrap presents, and I also know that I love unwrapping them.

@thislittlepennyearns I"ve bought for three people this year. I don't do very much shopping for others either.

I tend to wait until I have to wrap them. I am not really a fan of wrapping.

I'm glad I am not the only one. I see all these fancy new inventions for making wrpaping easier. If at all possible, I get someone else to wrap them. I know they have wrapping counters at some department stores.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I like in the malls when I see something like band boosters or scouts some civic organization wrapping gifts. I would gladly pay a buck or two to save myself the trouble and support a good cause. Also, some of the bigger department stores used to wrap for free, not sure if they still do.

@snowy22315 I don't think I've ever come across a scout or civic group offering wrapping. If I come across any, I'll definitely do that though.

I wrap as I go. This year I've wrapped two gifts. I'm not wanting to buy gifts, spending money I don't have on things that the recipient doesn't want or need.

@Morleyhunt I know some people will guy it from a store and have it delivered to the person's home. I've never had to do that. The farthest family member lives two hours away. Atleast the farthest family member we might buy things for.

I've only bought a few gifts. I spent no more than $15.00 per person as well. I just don't have the money. I'm applying to everywhere in town.
I would have spent more if I could because I like to spoil my family. I also don't like to get gifts that won't be used.

@ScribbledAdNauseum this year we are travelling to spend time with our family (we moved 1000 miles way from them), and somehow I just don't want to lug all kinds of stuff with us. Also, I've asked what they'd like me to bring and received no response.. I am running out of time to get whatever they might want me to contribute.

I never have that much to wrap. That might change eventually, but for now, it doesn't take that long for me to wrap the presents.

I managed to scrounge up enough to afford presents around $15.00 each for three different people. I used ebates so I got a few dollars back for the effort.
I wish I could have spent more to be honest.

I wrap as I go. I get tired of wrapping and so the wrapping gets bad toward the end.

My problem is not cutting the paper straight, or cutting too much. I've even not cut enough.

@ScribbledAdNauseum You betcha. I am the procrastinator of procrastinators. I live by the motto, "Don't put off today what you can put off tomorrow."
