Do you wrap items to go in the stockings?

[iamanintrovert]

Or not? I do, but just curious.

Yes but with cheapy paper and minimal Sellotape.

I do wrap pressies in DH's stocking and have done in DD's stocking, but might stop wrapping DD's (or at least some bits) as she's only little (4) and in previous years has got wrapping fatigue.

Yes, and it definitely has to be in different paper to the main presents, as Father Christmas brings the stocking, and families provide the rest.

My two are 14 and 16, but this tradition still continues!

Yes but not particularly well

In my family no - too many children in my DGM's family I think and tradition was started then.
But they are wrapped in DH's family even when there have been no "believers"
Waiting for DS1 to clock this

Yes but with cheap paper and minimal tape and I curse doing it every year. It was fine with just two kids but with five stocking worth of stuff to wrap it's a bloody chore!

No, all items in our stockings are unwrapped.

Yep always wrapped, but not very neatly! I've learned not leave it until Christmas Eve cos it always takes far longer than I expect it to!

I wrap some things, not all. For instance, if a gooey toy needs to be felt as a hand delves into the stocking, that should not be wrapped, as it is fun for me to witness them coming across it unexpectedly (although, after 20+ yrs of gooey toys in stockings, its probably not unexpected any more, tbh) [santa]

Don't wrap the satsumas or apples either . . .

Yes, it buys me more time to make a brew and get the turkey in.

No. I just unceremoniously shove the stuff in!

Yes. When DS is older it will be with lots of sellotape for him to open in his own room (if he ever bloody moves out of ours )

Yes, all wrapped. No fruit here!

Yes. Makes it last longer.

No, just shove it in.

Then FC brings one present which is wrapped in his special paper which always has his own picture on so we know it's from him.
The rest are from family and wrapped in different paper.

No.

Yes, any extra time I can spend in bed while they unwrap is a bonus!

Yes. I use recycled paper from previous years and don't make a very neat job of it, and I always do it a few weeks before Christmas to get it out of the way.

I think there would be a riot if I didn't bother - my DC don't refer to 'when we get our stockings' but to 'when we unwrap our stockings'. It spins out the fun.

Nope, the stocking is the wrapping!

yes, it prolongs the present opening fun.

Yes I will for older one, will leave a few things un wrapped and will leave most un wrapped for younger ( fatiuge)

it prolongs the present opening fun

Also, it makes the stocking SOUND more interesting. All crackly and rustly. I use Christmassy ski socks, so you see all the lumps and bumps and funny shapes. (Ooh - getting all excited now)!!

I don't wrap edible stuff, but most other stuff gets wrapped. I think its more fun that way.

Yes in a mix of brightly coloured tissue paper and santa paper. Only things thatgo in unwrapped are the clementine and the comic. I love wrapping the stockings and the unwrapping on our bed on Xmas morning.

We re getting a puppy at the weekend but I probably won't wrap his. Or let him on the bed

No, not at all.
My DC are still little enough to want to carefully examine each item and their stockings are quite roomy, so we would be there weeks if we had to factor in unwrapping as well
