Hate it! I suck at wrapping gifts. I try to utilize gift bags as much as possible. My husband is awesome at wrapping gifts so he does the majority of our wrapping during the holidays. However, this year I got smart and bought some wrapping paper with gridlines on it and I am hoping that'll make my wrapping look better than normal! Oh, yeah...HAVE to have gridlines! |

I tolerate it...I actually like wrapping, but I don't like dragging everything up from the basement and as I get older it gets harder to wrap on the living room floor. I should switch to the kitchen table, but there's not always a lot of space and there's no TV. There's no way I could wrap on the floor. I bring a folding table into my lounge so I can watch Christmas movies while I wrap. Of course the cats have to help, though! |

I want to love it. I want to be really great at it. However, I'm the world's worst gift wrapper. I don't have patience and I can't cut a straight line. I hate doing it. ICK! I should take a class. There must be one online somewhere.

LOVE it! I always have. I like real ribbon, string, greenery, decorations, jute, big hanging tags, tulle netting, etc. instead of stick-on bows so my dh & kids do a Mommy Dearest style mocking "NO stick-on bows!!!!" thing each year when I am wrapping. They prefer gift bags. Quick and easy. We do re-use the wired ribbon, paper gift bags and sometimes even the wrapping paper as well as some fabric bags I sewed years ago and even printed fabric ham bags and the mesh orange fruit bags from the grocery store. The Virginia ham and Florida citrus bags have become part of our Christmas tradition.  |

Hate it. Too time consuming.

Really hate it.
Hate spending money on paper that will be tossed seconds after it's seen. So much waste.
But it would take away some magic for my kids if I put everything in reusable cloth bags, and used the same ones year after year.

This thread needs a poll!
I love wrapping gifts. I wrap almost all of them at home. If possible, DH puts my gift in another box so I can wrap it.

I will pay those of you who love to wrap in fudge to come to my house and do it for me. I'm your girl. When should I come? ETA: I also totally dig folding laundry! |

One of my favourite things - I co-ordinate papers, everyone has their own and I don’t use any name tags that way nobody can check through the parcels before Christmas Day.
