Are you all about keeping it simple or do you go all out, handmade wrapping paper, bows and string etc?

I co ordinate my wrapping paper to the same kinda colours (this year its silver/white and blues/purples)

all gifts for one person are in the same paper so easily identifiable..

and lifes too short for bows, tags and string that you curl with scissors

I'm all about getting Sellotape stuck to everything except the present. Cutting the paper too small. Losing the pen,scissors,tape at least 10 times and forgetting what I've wrapped as I stick the label on

I used to do everything with ribbon and bows, now as long as there's not a bit of the present poking out I don't care. The kids don't pay attention to the wrapping anyway lol x

i either cut the paper way to big or make it too small then have to use an off cut to patch it up lol

i get loads of sellotape ready before i start and ive mastered the glide technique rather than cutting the paper all jaggedy

"I get things gift wrapped. "

when i eventually collected the stash of stuff id bought from my grandmas house i felt defeated by the huge task ahead of me,, took me 5 hours to crack on and wrap that lot.. ive been shopping 3 time since then and have about 6 carrier bags of gifts still to go..

if there was a gift wrap business id gladly pay

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

No time for faffing around. So I bought drawstring gift bags in various sizes. The drawstrings are proper ribbons and each comes with a gift tag. Pop prezzie in, tie, write tag, next. ..

But they're not like the paper ones. These are like that shiney foil like wrapping and they close up with a drawstring so you can't see into them.
