.If I send my prezzies you can wrap mine as well when you're on! I absolutely hate doing it!

I know just how you feel! Over 3 days I wrapped 96 presents just for my sisters! Mostly silly things but they all had to be wrapped and put into their Santa sacks I'm glad I've got 3 sisters, it means I get 3 lots of daft things in return Now got to think about my 3 off-spring and their partners, 10 grandchildren, a neighbour who always gets me "a little something"

You still here????

I quite like wrapping pressies ( if only I had some to wrap!!!!...not been to the shops yet!!)

I'm a" sit on the floor , chop up the paper,tuck it quickly around the pressie and tear off scellotape with teeth and bung it on " type of lass- (fluffy carpet /cat hair included!!!!) myself. Sticky label . Piled up balanced on top of other irregular shaped pressies . Big smile

My mother on the other hand cuts the paper to perfection, folds it with carefully folded and pressed folds and cuts lots of little bits of tape which are stuck onto the edge of the table. Nice little label. Nicely stacked with the others.

..and what about you ????

Couldn't you wrap the eggs in a box instead- much quicker Maureen????

I've written my gift list and the credit card is all nicely polished ready for action!....Monday morning....watch out folks!!!

My niece and I have thought about wrapping presents in the market for the last two years cos she is excellant at it. We think about it but go no further.
I usually do it on the carpet but this year I am clearing the table and doing it there. They start off neat but by the end god knows what they look like, and why is it once I have carefully wrapped them I manage to tear the paper when moving them.

I LOVE wrapping!
I did it semi-professionally once ... well, for a high street chainstore. We made our own ribbon and everything

Now, I just have sellotape in a metal holder, with teeth for cutting; good big sharp scissors, and a thick marker for writing names (don't bother with gift tags)

My top tip: save up some cereal boxes and the like for putting odd-shaped prezzies into ... boxes are so easy to wrap compared to fluffy/round/sharp things

Your still here!!
My job for the day too, though have to say HB as done about half of them! She's a wee gem!

I'M going I'm going honest.

I'm one that loves wrapping too - however, the results are not always that neat, this year the toddler has been 'helping' so I have an excuse at least! We cut up last years cards for tags and my daughter has created some pretty spectacular 'things' made of bits of ribbon and stuff from last years crackers!

Still here I see Jackie.....!!!!

Your still here! I always end up doing the boys stuff Christmas eve. Every year I promise to be more organised next time, never am though. Definitely a fluff and bung type of wrapper

[Nicos]
