One wrapping paper design per child?

Sorry if the title isn't particularly self explanatory! I was just wondering if those of you with more than one child choose one design of wrapping paper for each child to make identification in the chaos of present opening a bit easier and to save the torture of writing out gift tags? Or do you just use whatever paper comes to hand whilst you're wrapping?

I do this, As my mother used to do it for my siblings and I.

Each child has their own paper from Santa, but can / will have the same paper from us. Tissue paper only (red for one, green the other) for stockings.

I use paper bags for stockings (absolute game changer much quick to wrap small fiddly things!)

Then a colour of paper each. Usually try to co ordinate with interests. I've seen unicorn and sloth paper this year which will be perfect for then each. Leftovers get used for family/friends the next year. I have a wrapping paper bag it's all stored in.

I do this each child has a particular design and colour. It's so much easier and I don't have to write a gazillion tags

Each kid has their own Santa paper which isn't used for any other gifts - it's always been like this & will still be the same this year even though DD's will be 18 & 17 at Christmas - it means I know which parcels belongs to which child by sight & makes setting up easier & quicker.

I’ve always done this, really just to save on tags and to make it easier if I’ve got anyone helping me set them out, as I do put them in different piles.

My friend mixes all the gifts under the tree but still has a paper for each child - they open their stockings first and at the bottom of the stocking is a little scrap of each wrapping paper, so each child knows what presents are theirs - I thought this was genius!! We open our stockings last so doesn’t work for us, but it seems a really exciting way of doing things.

We really only do stockings last so we can give accessories or linked gifts to the main presents without giving them away (case for new phone, game for console, film for camera for example)

Stocking paper is always a different tissue paper per child, sealed with a sticker instead of tape to make it easier (for me)

I do this for adults as well. Although I do put tags on adult presents.

And yes, Santa has different paper to everyone else. Make sure to hide that roll well or there will be awkward questions.
