Wrapping presents ugh!

I hate wrapping presents, By the time I have finished I often think a 5 year old could do better. Imagine my excitement when I discovered Christmas sacks where you could just drop your presents in and tie them with ribbon and a gift tag around the top! I saw them advertised on television so took a look on Amazon and there was a fine selection of these bags with pretty Christmas designs in various sizes. Of course I had to get some. They are reusable too so whoever gets a gift in one will be able to use it themselves. My gift wrapping days are over!

I used to buy those sacks for those gifts with impossible shapes. For the rest I love to wrap presents.

Teagan makes a better job of it than me but I bet she will be after some of my sacks.

@LadyDuck I wish I enjoyed it but I always leave it until the last minute because I dislike it. However now I have my pretty sacks!

Some of my friends used to invite me over to wrap gifts for them.... They always said, "But you make them look prettier than we can."

@sprite1950 Most things are easy... If it's round or angled weird, you just put it into a box and then everything is easy again.

I hate wrapping presents too, and often times I will just put gifts in gift bags and cover the top with tissue paper so that the receiver can't see what's inside. I've never been very good at wrapping presents.

I find it a chore and leave it until the last moment. It's a great sense of relief when they are all wrapped. I usually have a few spare wrapped up in case I get an unexpected present too.

I love those. I bought them a few years ago and then I bought some last year too. My boyfriend fusses saying I should wrap his present. I don't wrap presents.

It looks cute. Glad to know about it. I don't know how to gift wrap. I think it's a talent who can do it properly

Yes some people have the gift and some don't. I was never very creative.

They do lots of different sizes and there are more than enough so they will last me next year too.

That's incredible. I usually use pre-prepared Christmas bags that I only have to staple or tie. But sacks would be a welcome addition and variation. I will try to look for them later. Thanks for the heads up.

My daughter was really good. She would do those curly bows which looked so good.

Amazon to the rescue. Seems you're not the only one who hates wrapping presents. I don't have too many to wrap so it not a big chore for me to do.

Mine always look so awful when I have finished. I have used gift bags for years but these sacks are prettier and cheaper.
