WIBU to not wrap the stocking fillers?

[PoesyCherish]

There's just so many little bits and bobs and it's such a faff wrapping them all and then they never fit in the stocking properly because of the extra paper. WIBU to not wrap them?

No, they just pull things out one by one. No tipping here.

I don’t want to wrap them, it has nothing to do with how long it takes to wrap them.

I always wrap. Presents get left in a pillow case in DC bedroom. Takes them longer to open and gives us a longer lie in. I buy 10 sheets for £1 from The Works or similar. Save the nice wrap for the other presents. I enjoy wrapping by the Christmas tree lubricated by a mulled wine or two.

I always wrap!

Santa fills the stockings so all presents are wrapped in whatever paper Santa is using that year. (Always a different one from what we use). Also unwrapping takes time and gives DH & I a chance to wake up and stick the kettle on before the proper unwrapping chaos begins.

I like the idea of wrapping but I can't face it for all the kids I have to wrap for

I’ll wrap some bits and pieces but things that look nice on their own, like the chocolate reindeer in pretty shiny wrap I don’t do and kind of poke them out of the top with a wrapped present and a candy cane. They look more like ‘movie’ stockings that way. I don’t wrap anything in the cats stockings :p

I wrap some things but not others. No reason to it, just like a mix.

I don’t bother wrapping choc coins, apple, orange etc

You put apples and oranges into their stockings? My mum used to do this, I always took them out and respectfully placed them back in the fruit bowl she'd got them from

It's not that I didn't like them much but more that they weren't Christmassy or unusual enough.

And truthfully, they were also those horrible soft yellow apples that we didn't like much and they ended up going wrinkly anyhow because no bugger would eat them bar my mum

I love wrapping stuff myself but don't wrap stocking stuff, just can't be arsed at that point!

I put a satsuma in. My mum did that and I followed that tradition, kids don’t eat them though.

I put in oranges, plasters, toothpaste. Amongst other stuff. It’s a running joke now.
But don’t wrap anything.

Stocking fillers don't get wrapped!! My lot have stockings on the end of their beds and they play with stocking stuff until the grown ups get up.

I always wrap in tissue paper 3pks for £2 in Tesco.

No tipping here either. More like lucky dip.

Reading this makes me feel like I've just got her a really boring stocking now - things like chocolate, pretty hair clips, toothbrush in her favourite character. There's nothing she can particularly play with as such.

Always wrapped. Wouldn't have been anywhere near so much fun without the guessing game and dog chasing paper about. Never took that long as it was a botched wrap with cheap paper just to hide the contents.

That’s kinda what I put in our stockings, I don’t put toys in it.

I wrap everything...including chocolate coins etc. It's so much more fun. I don't mind wrapping though...I find it quite therapeutic, I quite like a quiet day wrapping presents in front of the telly whilst kids are at school.

Always wrap. I save last year's used wrapping paper for this very purpose.

Does anyone know if tissue paper is recyclable? The rest of the presents will be wrapped in decorated brown paper this year (on an environmental crusade). Sadly my council don't take normal wrapping paper even if it passes the scrunch test.

I always wrap. So I takes twice as long. They open them on my bed and it gives me chance to wake up slowly.

Some things like chocolate orange (no satsuma left to go mouldy like my childhood 😂) don’t get wrapped but even small things like a bouncy ball get wrapped! Practical things like pants instantly become better if wrapped.

I always wrap except chocs, prolongs the action

I wrap everything even the tiniest of stocking fillers. If it ain't wrapped it ain't a present!

Use recyclable tissue paper scrunched round, or brown paper, as suggested. That way it isn't more unnecessary landfill.

I never díd stockings and my DD doesn't either.

But they come naturally wrapped - the stocking is the wrapping in this house.
