AIBU not to want to wrap Easter Eggs?

[CheesyBadger]

In laws wrap eggs. Spent yesterday afternoon wrapping eggs and tying ribbon round them.

Dp can do it next year as I think it is daft! It's an egg! No surprise, why wrap it?!?

Yes 2rebecca - no getting out of it but I think he can do it! It is a strong tradition as I have objected for years to no avail

You are right though, it should not depend on what other people do. I am likely to fly in the face of daftness like this!

You must be yolking? How eggstravagant! Eggs don't need eggstra wrapping...or do they? Am I being shellfish not wrapping them? I will wrap them all and take a photo for the albumin. That will be all white won't it?

There is Easter paper and gift bags... You watch, next year everyone will be sucked in .... (Hears laughing of consumerism monster)

Buzzard!

Wrapping easter eggs?

How bizarre.

Tell them it's not environmentally friendly, and you feel guilty enough about all the extraneous packaging round the Easter eggs already without adding to it.

Fucking hell, wrapping eggs?!

It's not like Christmas when you don't know what you've been given.

It's Easter, it's an egg!

Ha ha I know! There is no surprise element, so it all becomes about the wrapping and choice of egg. We have extra guilt about type of egg and feel pressured to spend a lot, although we don't

Never heard of anything so daft! YADNBU

I must have bought at least a dozen eggs. None have survived until today so no eggs here at all, never mind wrapped. Seems daft to me, but I imagine they look nice.

They do look wonderful, I just don't want to be the one wrapping!

I've never, ever heard of anyone wrapping Easter eggs before Why is it compulsory? They're your children are they not?

YANBU for not wanting to wrap them (never heard of anyone doing this before, ever!). However YABU for actually wasting your time bothering to do it

What an odd tradition!

My hubby never remembers to buy wrapping paper for his family's birthday presents so usually ends up wrapping them in tin foil or newspaper :-/ He doesn't believe me that tin foil is more expensive than wrapping paper and looks very smug for being so 'resourceful' :-/

Ha ha love the tin foil wrapping!! I might wrap the eggs in it next year and sell it as a futuristic look Value stuff of course

Why would you wrap Easter eggs? They're already presented in foil and a box and given the day there's no mystery about what they are! It's unnecessary and all that extra packaging is bad for the environment.

Never heard of anyone wrapping Easter eggs before - totally bonkers idea to wrap something that's already wrapped.

Sounds fun. I like wrapping stuff. The easter bunny doesn't, though, so no wrapping here except for token things delivered to PIL and DPs - which I guess is the same as the OP's ILs, but at a much smaller scale.

OP I fancy this competitive element though - can I do them for you next year (would need some photos of this and previous years to make sure yours are up to standard win, though)?

They would hate us this morning then. Our dcs chose one each in the shop, we bought them one 'surprise' each and mil and sil brought a selection. They each chose one and then another which were opened shortly after.
The fun was in the eating.
We do try to get them one with a mug each year though.

I did take egg to PIL in a bag which they couldn't actually see into. DCs produced them out of the bag, one by one, and handed them out. As for wrapping them, fuck that.

*eggs

Wrap a turnip and shout surprise as they peel the last bit off...

Ha ha stealth, I may rope you in next year!

You know where to find me, Cheesy .
