Does sellotape last ok if you wrap gifts in advance?

[TheLion]

We will be travelling to my parents for Christmas and I'm thinking that I might buy and wrap all my gifts when I'm there for 2 weeks in October so then when we are there for Christmas I can just pull them out and it's one less thing to think about at a busy time. But would the sellotape hold up? I'd buy the expensive brand name sellotape if it made a difference...

Expensive own brand sellotape yes. If stored carefully and not in direct sunlight or a warm spot.

Yes it will be fine

Or add parcel string as well, if you want to be really sure. Should be fine, though.

I have been decluttering and had things with sellotape (don't know if it's branded or not) still well stuck after years!

I wrap mine as I buy them throughout the year, some are wrapped for nearly 10 months and are absolutely fine 😊 as long as they're stored out of direct sunlight.

Oh I forgot it's also my son's birthday 20th December so even more incentive to get it all bought and wrapped well in advance (birthday will be at my parents too)

Thanks everyone - I will try and be organised for once in my life and get it all done!!
