@bikinibottommuffintop I ordered over BF from ASOS and only just received my order yesterday. Must admit was panicking a bit as its for a December birthday but luckily arrived by a days grace. Hope you get your order soon.
Can I please ask for tips if anyone has any on tackling wrapping the prezzies, afraid I'm viewing the task like I'm looking at the washing & ironing pile, it seems a mountain not a molehill of a job (hope that makes sense as my family and I have all just had flu and my brain feels bit tired and overwhelmed by the thought of it all). Wd honestly appreciate any inspiration or motivation right about now to feel xmassy and organized about it?
@QVCismyJam tissue paper wrapped round and shoved in a gift bag is good for adults 
Awkward toys etc can be put in a cardboard box which is much easier to wrap. If you're having to use a rubbish box then stick the paper to it so it can't be peeled off and use ribbon to fasten instead of tape.
Does anyone know of a discount code for Schuh please? Have two pairs of trainers to buy for niece and nephew. Thank you 
QVCismyJam - I got absolutely the whole lot out, split it up into recipient to check the size of the piles was equivalent, wrapped it (using tape dispenser ) in the order I would be seeing the people concerned and put it back in the lost with the last ones in the back and the first ones in the front. Cardboard box each for kids' stocking fillers wrapped in these recommended by another poster.
Anything I decided not to wrap (I had too much stuff for stockings 
) I put in a bag at the front so I could get it easily in case I needed to pull out a little something at short notice.
BTW I do NOT recommend the recyclable wrapping paper from Marks and Spencer. I got the plain brown and red. It is completely transparent. I could read book titles through it. I had to double it up. The stuff from Morrisons was much better.
