Where do you stand on sending gifts direct & unwrapped?

Myself and DSIS disagree on this.

I think if you're sending presents to family members (we only send to close family, think parents, sibling and two niece/nephews), you should wrap them before posting.

The past couple of years my sister (and now my Mum) have gotten in the habit of sending presents for mine and my daughter's birthday and Christmas direct from the retailer unwrapped and often with receipt. It's then on me to wrap and put under tree or hand out on birthday with a tag saying from Aunty X.

Keep me honest here, am I being unreasonable for finding this a bit impersonal? I'm grateful for the gift for me and DCs, and DSIS says it saves on postage but I find it a bit naff to open an Amazon box with a preloved book and a receipt. I never know when they're coming & we also order from Amazon to intercept & wrap the box.

YABU - sending direct and expecting recipient to wrap and dole out is fine.
YANBU - it's impersonal

I do it to some family, but they're all adults and do the same.

My father (who I am NC with) does this with presents for my daughter. It winds me up no end, that I have to wrap them and write out a tag. The presents are always from Amazon, he is wealthy and could easily pay for gift wrap but doesn’t. I suspect it’s deliberate in his case though because that’s the sort of petty person he is.

at some point when she’s older I will just stop and let her see for herself the sort of person he is. I think for a younger child it’s better to be the bigger person and wrap and tag them, but when they’re older just let them see for themselves the (lack of) effort people make.

No, I don't.
I'd rather buy a better present and pay less for P&P.
I've changed my attitude to presents and "stuff" in general quite a lot over the years anyway and now buy far fewer but better quality things and am trying to minimise waste.
I'm trying to reduce food miles etc so why would I want presents to be making more journeys than necessary, and to waste money? I can't remember the figures but I read an article a few years ago about the vast amount of wrapping paper that gets used in the UK at Christmas every year, a lot of which isn't even recyclable due to the colours, glitter etc it contains. I can't change the world by not using gift wrap I know, but at least I'm not adding to the problem and if that's "cheap" I really don't care. My parents didn't wrap our Christmas presents individually when I was a child anyway - they went unwrapped into a pillow case - and it certainly didn't spoil Christmas for me.

That seems a bit different!
