Old School - I wrap everything. No Ribbons nor Bows, though. Too lazy.

New School - Bags. I know they are easy. I know they are re-usable. But I just can't do it !

Nothing, that way they aren't disappointed when they see it.

Awww, Krampus is headed your way.

( I hear 12 Gauge can do him in, though. Not that I've tried it. )

I tried the bag, but wound up wrapping the gift anyway, and trying to match the paper and ribbon to the bag.

This year there are no bags, wrapping only...with bows.

Several years ago I invested in a lot of ribbon.  It was on sale at a going out of business sale.  Really nice wired ribbon. 

Try these bows, they are fantastic and easy....they store flat, so they wont get messed up.

Take advantage of post Christmas 50%-off sales and I can wrap 20 gifts for the price of one bag. That includes bows and tags.

Yes, bags are reuseable, but what are you going to do, ask for the bag back after they take the gift out?

Besides, half the fun for the little ones (and some of us bigger ones) is ripping the wrapping off to discover the treasure inside.

My ex mother inlaw would actually get pissed when people tore into wrapping.
Stupid tightwad old bat saved foil and rubber bands, paperclips, staples.
What's that you ask, did the daughter inherit any of her traits? I divorced the sociopath.

I don't blame you.
