Re: Poll: Holiday Gift Wrapping
Do you like wrapping gifts? I don't mind it.
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? Usually I end up wrapping stuff for the IL's and parents. One of us has to wrap our dog's presents when the other one has her out at the park or something b/c she will sniff them out and drive us crazy.
Do you use paper or gift bags? Usually wrapping paper
Do you use ribbon? No
Do you go all out, or just get it done? I usually just get it done. I try to buy the gigantic super cheap rolls of paper at the party store and I don't use boxes for clothes - just wrap them up as they are.I LOVE it!
I do it.
I use paper and ribbon.
I used to go all out, but I just haven't had the time the past 2 years. This year I did all the wrapping (mostly) already so I'm hoping to do my fancy bows/curly ribbon one night this week with a glass of wine in front of the TV.
Do you like wrapping gifts? I really have to be in the mood.
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? I mainly do all the wrapping.

Do you use paper or gift bags? Paper. I never use gift bags for Christmas, though I will occasionally use them for other occasions.
Do you use ribbon? Always.
Do you go all out, or just get it done? I go all out and spend WAY too much time wrapping! I like doing fancy ribbons and curls, etc. This year I think I am going to simplify a little, but I'll still use paper and ribbon.BFP#1: 01/10, M/C 6w -- BFP#2: 06/10, M/C 5w -- BFP#3: 09/10, DS born June 1, 2011

Do you like wrapping gifts? "Like" is too strong a word, but I don't mind doing it either.
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? We both do, but I probably wrap more.
Do you use paper or gift bags? I prefer paper but bags are good for some things.
Do you use ribbon? sometimes

Do you like wrapping gifts? I LOVE wrapping gifts. I am having a hard time finding the time to do it this year since I can't wrap with Bailey around since she'll immediately crawl over and attack the paper!
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? I wrap pretty much everything except my own, of course. DH is the cutest present wrapper ever. He tries so hard, and he has definitely improved over the years, but it's always fun to see how he's done.
Do you use paper or gift bags? Both...I prefer to wrap and unwrap but sometimes items are just too awkward for paper and in a bag they go.
Do you use ribbon? Yes, I love to make my presents pretty.
Do you go all out, or just get it done? Somewhere in the middle depending on time and energy.Someone's getting a little brother!
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? I do the bulk of it, but DH ends up recruited. And he doesn't mind, thankfully.
Do you use paper or gift bags? Mostly paper - it's more fun to open. But some things are just impossible to wrap well, so they'll go into a gift bag.
Do you use ribbon? Not really. I love the look of pretty packages, but right now I just can't be bothered to buy all the trimmings and store them between the holidays.
Do you go all out, or just get it done? As the above might imply, I just try to get it done. I like to imagine that one day I'll put more effort into it, but meh, I don't know that I ever will.
Do you like wrapping gifts? I don't hate but I don't love it. I usually do everything one night and make a night out of it. I sit in front of the TV and wrap everything.
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? me
Do you use paper or gift bags? I use a combo... just depends who the present is for and what kind of present it is.
Do you use ribbon? nope

I actually don't mind it, but I usually wait until the last minute to actually get around to it and I end up getting all pissy and saying how much I hate it. I don't really like or dislike it - to me it's just something you have to do.
Who does the gift wrapping in your family? We're responsible for the gifts we give. DH does everything for his family and me and I do everything for my family and him.
Do you use paper or gift bags? Depends on the gift. I mostly use paper but in a time pinch or for an oddly shaped gift, I'll toss it in a bag.
Do you use ribbon? Nope. I'll pop a bow on, but no ribbon. I don't have the patience or creativity for that.
Do you go all out, or just get it done? Just get it done. I'm already starting to get twitchy thinking about all the crap I have to wrap and will probably pawn some of it off on DH to help with.Do you like wrapping gifts? LOVE it! I treat it like an art form.
