To think it's unnecessary to gift wrap chocolates?

[lavalampoon]

This discussion has been going on for ages in our house. I think it's unnecessary to wrap chocolates which are being given as gifts. Especially if it's something like a tin of quality street or a box of Miniature heroes. MIL and FIL wrap such items and get offended if people don't, I think it's a bit strange. They also seem appalled if someone hasn't attached a gift tag to their present which is a bit excessive imo. Can you tell me what would be the case in your household?!

Considering chocolates are a minimum effort kind of gift, I think wrapping and tagging them is the very least you can do.

Wrapped, unless it's a box that comes pre-wrapped.

Not wrapped,think it's pointless to wrap chocolates,not sire why just think it's a bit of a let down when you op3n them and there's chocolates 😂

Gift bags are perfect for this. I think that if it was wrapped I would be disappointed to find it was chocolates. A gift bag says "I made a bit of effort but not too much so don't get excited".

No I wouldn’t wrap them. They’re not really a present are they, more of a token ‘thankf for having us/being a friend’ type casual gesture so I think it’s a waste of paper really!

If you are bringing it with you when visiting to give to hosts then no need to wr ap. If a Christmas present then they would be wrapped imo.

Wtf do people wrap quality street etc? That's so odd. Course you don't wrap them.

If you're walking into someone's house and handing them a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates, fine, no wrapping. But if they're sitting under the tree with all the other gifts, wrap them.

Tags are unnecessary as long as you write the recipient's name on the wrapping paper.

If it's a present to an individual, then I wrap them. If it's a general gift for sharing around the family, then no. I'd far rather receive a "no effort" gift like flowers or chocolates that I'd actually enjoy, than a "lots of effort" gift that I hate - although I'm touched by the effort if I know it's effort aimed at me rather than "look at me, I always give such unusual gifts" type of effort.

Surely you need tags so you know who the gift is for?!

Wrapped, I think that's the popular choice, I used to work in a chocolate shop and this time of year a large percentage of customers would ask for the box to be gift wrapped and I imagine others would wrap themselves at home.
