12-8 gift wrap
Since I've been talking about wrapping packages a lot on MM, what are your gift wrapping practices?
Do you throw on any old paper and a bow? Do you bag it? Do you spend more time wrapping a gift than you spend on your hair in the morning?
Tell us about your wrapping style!
Re: 12-8 gift wrap
I usually go buy some 3 pack paper and look through every pack to find the best combo. I also buy one roll of really nice/fancy paper. Once I have the paper, I really just wrap the presents. I make sure it looks pretty but don't spend tons of time on it.
For special gifts, I will add curling ribbon to the package to make it look prettier.
I hate wrapping presents. I am the worst wrapper ever! Especially if it's something odd shaped. I also suck at using a gift bag. I'm not all creative with the tissue paper looking all nice. I just shove it in the bag. Sometimes my wrapping looks like a kindergartener did it.
I don't put bows or fancy things on it. Why bother, it's just gonna get ripped off anyway.
PS- what does "10-8" mean?
MrsZ, I just lurked on Money Matters and saw your lovely gift wrapped presents. Wow! Those are nice! Come wrap mine-LOL.
Oops, that should have been 12-8.
I have a wrapping obsession. You wouldn't be able to get in my dining room right now if you stopped by my house. There's paper and ribbon everywhere.
I always wrap mine with bright colors and fun ribbon and bows. I think I'm rebelling against my mom's wrapping that I had to deal with my whole life. From the time I was 9, she only had a "formal" tree. It was decorated in gold and burgundy. Well...the wrapping paper had to match the tree. Very boring. It looked nice, but wasn't very fun for a kid.
So now, most of my wrapping paper is brightly colored with penguins or Disney characters (especially Tinkerbell and Winnie the Pooh). No, I don't have any kids. However, I make up for having the most boring tree growing up with my current tree and wrapping paper.
