How do you “wrap”?

I used to wrap presents for everyone because it’s usually more fun to unveil. About two years ago, I said forget it, and switched to gift bags as much as possible. Pictured is a gift bag I got for free, and it had a card and tissue paper with it. I’m going to use it for my niece Annelyn’s birthday gift I’m giving me Monday when she’s here. Are you wrapping paper people, gift bag people, or does it depend on the size of the gift?

My wife does the wrapping, except when I buy her gifts. But then I have to explain that I really tried lol

Well, I'm not really exaggerating much when I say I possibly might be the worst gift-wrapper on the planet, but I do it anyway. But the last couple decades, most of my gifts I've given have been gift certificates or cards from either a record/CD store or a tattoo shop, so, envelopes.

I always use wrapping paper so the recipient gets curious about what's inside.

I still prefer wrapping gifts but there are times when I feel a bit lazy and I would just use paper bags instead.

I think if I were really good at wrapping I might find it more enjoyable. I’m average at best.

Just now

@AmbiePam There's always Pinterest and YouTube. And it takes a lot of practice.

I’m definitely a gift bag person! So much easier, and I can reuse them too. I only use wrapping paper when I have to.

That’s a good point. You can reuse the gift bags. It’s more environmentally friendly.
