It's 1.30am here and I shoulda been in bed HOURS ago! I think I'm gonna make the naughty list this year!
I think Hels has gone off to the family for Christmas. So she's probably desperately wishing she could morph you there right now Sen, as I am wishing I could morph you here!
bags are great but for some reason I still wrap some things inside of the bag. Usually it's the oddly shaped things that get wrapped in tissue paper...other items get regular wrapping paper and they all go into a bag for each person.
Wrapping is FUN!
Yeah, I always wrap the stuff in bags in tissue. And, wrapping sucks.

I usually don't mind it. I put some music on, pour a glass or two of wine and wrap away. I spent three hours wrapping presents yesterday. The rest of the presents are going in gift bags!
do you all wrap stocking stuffers? i only stuff mr. dream's stocking, and i know that sounds dirty , haha....so yes...i wrap them all too. just nice to extend/savor each gift.

those are beautiful, i love the ribbon! being a visual person too, i feel ya...it's like how often do you get the chance to have some pretty designed paper and bows and such sitting around for a while and having lights twinkling over 'em? i love it!

EXACTLY!
and quite honestly, besides christmas...how often do i have THAT many gifts around all at once, period? birthdays, lucky if it's 1-3 gifts at most, and yes...nothing like the fancy christmas wrap.
justam - that ribbon is FANTASTIC! the ribbon i used for the bulk of my gifts was wired, makes beautiful bows indeed! had a nice gold beaded edge too, love it! also used for smaller gifts just a sheer organza, really sweet.

dreamn', honestly, that kind of ribbon has totally transformed wrapping presents for me because I love it so much!!

seriously, now that i only wrap a few gifts, adults only...i feel i can splurge on the beautiful ribbons. besides, much of it i've bought at mega sales after the holidays, so yea.....:p it really DOES make a huge difference to the ease of making gorgeous ribbons, and the overall look of your gifts. also, far easier to open b/c no ribbon to break thru, just untie, and we recycle/reuse.
years ago when i had a ton of gifts for nephews and such, i just used curling ribbon. sure, pretty/fun enough...but definitely not the same impact as 'real' fabric ribbon.
I can wrap a decent present after many years of learning. My family never did stocking stuffers though, think the last time i had a stocking from them was in the early 80's whan I was a boy. Although the women in my life have tended to get them for me.
Is it wrong that I was just singing "procrastination" to the tune of a certain PJ song?
Been doing that for years. It's all very Cajun Man-like.
AmentsChick, thanks for the tips. I do know what you're talking about. However, I still can't hold the paper tight and get the tape on it at the same time. My fingers aren't very dexterous. The other thing is that I know how it's going to end up in less than 72 hours' time, so I don't care all that much.

I HATE the wrapping part, cos I'm so very bad at it
But I LOVE putting all the ribbons and bows and finishing touches on them
The part I love the most is writing out the gift tags. I try to put a personal message on each one of them. I like to think about the person I'm giving the gift to and what makes them special to me

Definitely the best way to go about it.

I am myself like you somehow
You make my presents look like a 4 year old wrapped them. You shamed me.
:(
i didn't mean to. i just love wrapping gifts, and presentation, etc. i *am* a very visual/artistic person, i can't help myself but share.
and i am SURE your presents are BEAUTIFUL! they're PRESENTS, aren't they? exactly.
Let's just breathe...

I always thought I made pretty presents...until now. :(
i repeat, for emphasis:
and i am SURE your presents are BEAUTIFUL! they're PRESENTS, aren't they? exactly.
ya know, i think i posted pressie pics last year and did not get this reaction
Let's just breathe...

Nah...I probably just wasn't around when you posted them!
I don't mind it if i have all the supplies handy.
I bought plenty of that material ribbon that has the wire on the edges and I love it! It makes very pretty bows and can be shaped.
EXACTLY!

Anyhoo, I LOVE wrapping presents. And putting all the ribbon-y bits on them. Choosing my wrapping paper is an exciting time for me.
I just wish I had some more to wrap...
