Do you wrap your stocking fillers?

[NYceMummy]

Doing a poll to see what most people do please! I can't decide!

yea most of them, unless its really tiny things then i cant be bothered

No. Parents didn't when I was little and now I think about the excess of paper.

Surely it's like a lucky dip?

I do, but thats because i love making DS and DP wait that little bit longer before they get to see what they got

noooo, usually fed up to the back teeth of wrapping by then and find the kids just tip it all out, eager to start on the big guns anyway. Thinking about making them wait til after dinner this year, or at least after breakfast!

most of them

DH always had wrapped stocking presents when he was little - mine were always unwrapped.

We've settled on wrapping them, because DH has a strong sense of "the right way to do it" and also it takes them longer to open them.

Yes, until we run out of paper, or my knees hurt from kneeling on the floor wrapping up all the little items (adults and children have stockings in our house)

Depends on the size of them (and if I have scraps of paper left over!)

Yes - I use the paper saved from last year. Our christmas stockings are from 'Santa' so I have to make sure that Santa doesn't use the same paper as Mummy & Daddy!

That sounds too cunning for 2, 3 & 5 year olds but DD1 is as smart as a whip!!

YES ! they are allowed to open them without us so its lovely to lie there at 4am listening to rustling bits of paper and giggling!

No,never-and the stocking is a pillowcase

I do and have never thought of not doing it but then I suppose that's because mine were when I was little

I don't. Like to feel them through the stocking. Well I used to. The kids do the feeling now. Like gem's lucky dip comparison

I do - the DC like to open wrapped presents and that's what I was brought up with so it seems normal to me (not to DH though). I use old wrapping paper from the previous Christmas and old plain'ish birthday paper (as long as it doesn't have 'Happy Birthday' written on it).

yes

Yes they have to be wrapped. My mum still does stockings for me and dsis and I still love opening them the most. Usually full of stuff like nail files and face wash but still the most exciting part of christmas day.

Never never never. There isn't enough bloody work associated with Xmas? (I grew up with unwrapped, DH grew up with wrapped. But because it's me who does all the wrapping, my rules go.)

Anyway Santa Claus doesn't wrap presents in our house, either.

Yes. Much more fun. Dh and I wrap them on christmas eve accompanied by a bottle of bubbly stuff and a blazing fire. I also use old christmas paper if there is any left.

And.... the sound of wrapping paper rubbing againt the inside of the stocking when I moved under the covers as I woke up in the morning was one of the most memorable christmas memories for me.
