3 DC and only one big bag of presents

I don’t understand when people say they’ve been wrapping presents all day.

Eldest DC have two presents to open each, they both got new trainers too which they have already.

Youngest has a few cheap games from Lidl and a kindle fire plus stocking stuff which is all stuff he’ll use.

For family, we don’t buy individual pressies, we do a family pressie instead.

In the past, I used to buy more but most of it just ended up scattered around the house and never used so I don’t bother now. I just don’t get the need to have a big pile of pressies anymore.

It took me max two hours today including bits for one stocking, writing a few cards etc - I was watching TV too so wrapped slowly.

I find it so weird to brag about how few presents you buy. Er well done you. Merry Christmas

It’s also quite weird to brag about how many you buy. I only buy for my DH, four gifts this year. DN is getting an Amazon voucher so no wrapping there. I hate wrapping and would hate to have 50 presents to wrap.

Who buys neighbours presents, unless they are very close?

Stocking presents don’t get wrapped, surely the stocking is just a glorified gift bag.

Stocking presents get wrapped in my family - otherwise, as you say, it's just a large gift bag.
