Wrapping presents for kids question

[ProfessorPickles]

Do you wrap the presents from Father Christmas in different wrapping paper?

How many does 'he' get them?

I'm thinking of wrapping his playmobil ghostbusters set (one big and two small presents) in different paper from Santa and then the rest are from me and then whatever relatives get him etc.

Having said that it has only come up when they’ve seen others’ lists. They’ve always asked for quite modest things for F.C., which surprises me. This year a small nerf gun and a lightsaber. All out war after the turkey, then...

Have never wrapped presents from Father Christmas--the stocking is the wrapping

Yes different wrapping paper. I use photos instead of to/from labels because mine havent started school yet.

Santa brings a stocking and 1 present (roughly £10-£20 value, though DC are young so this may change). He has his own paper that must not be used for anything else.

Different paper I think. When I was growing up santa couldn't even be arsed writing his own tags, my dad had to do it!

Santa only ever brought little things in stockings here - he used different (cheaper!) paper from other presents, no tags. Paper was always torn off so fast anyway.

Santa doesn’t wrap presents in my house. He just leaves them in a santa sack for each dc. They have plenty to unwrap already.

Both kids have different paper I can’t be dealing with tags

Special paper for each child, usually reflecting the current special interest, and messily applied with yards and of sellotape.

Presents from me are meticulously wrapped with sharp edges and no tape; only ribbons. Paper is always the height of good taste.

No one would ever suppose I was responsible for both.

Yes, different paper that I have to keep well-hidden.

I use plain-coloured shiny paper, a different colour for each child, so it is easy to fill the stocking. No tags.

It's only for presents in the stocking - this year there are 7 stocking presents each.

Poor daves parents all that work and no credit Dave's parents will get credit in due time.

We do kids paper and grown up paper. But in our extended families Santa brings all the presents (other than those from other people).

Last year my mum bought the same kids paper as us, and DS (3) said "Gran, this is like Santa's wrapping!" and she said he must have been to Asda for it too

The inconsistencies are what help them figure it out for themselves and not be traumatised by having to have The Chat at an embarrassingly late age.

Yes different wrapping paper, my DS isn't sure whether he still believes and has told me he'll be checking the writing on the labels, so I've ordered some printed ones, ha, one step ahead sunshine .

Santa is just the delivery guy here so they know I buy the gifts and wrap them. Everyone has their own paper so no gift tags needed.

Santa brings all the presents in our house. Each child had their own paper. Mummy and daddy send money to Santa so that covers why Winifred got an iPad last year and DS didn’t. Also Santa doesn’t bring technology because mummy and daddy say no 🤣

I wish we had a national law about how Santa works so all parents stick to the same story

He's magic. This was the response my mum used to every single Santa question I had as a kid!! Usually I had different wrapping paper from Santa, but if not and one slipped through - it was magic, the elves must have borrowed some of mum's. Different types of present for different children - magic - the elves knew what that child was getting from parents/family so adjusted accordingly.

If I ever questioned the logic of the 'magic' I was asked "is that a question you want to ask this close to Christmas?" And that would shut me up.
