to think that people who send presents from Amazon without giftwrap are a bit stingy?

...just a small thing, and before I'm flamed for being ungrateful for the present itself (I am EXTREMELY grateful!) I would be a bit embarrassed to do that myself. It kind of says 'I'll buy you something, but I'm not going as far as to have it wrapped so that you can open it at Christmas - but I'm happy for you to buy the wrapping and do it yourself'... People are sending me presents for my kids and asking me to wrap them when they arrive. I don't mind wrapping them but I'd feel like I'd look really stingy if I did the same thing!

I always pay to the have the Amazon gifts wrapped when I send to nieces/nephews, but to be honest it sometimes makes me buy them less than I might. This year I found a great gift for my nieces - was quite cheap and I would have happily bought them another thing each - except that's another £3 EACH on giftwrap and I didn't want to pay!

Also, the Amazon giftwrap is really dull and kinda ugly. (The aunties and uncles always send the gifts wrapped, too.)
