Debating with my oh.

Do you wrap the gift sets that are the Baylis and Harding type style, so look a bit nicer as are than say a box of lynx Africa? Or do you leave them as the come to save the time?

I was set on wrapping them until he started and now can't decide which side of the fence I sit on Confused

Wrap obviously.

They are already using an absolute ton of packaging so best not to add to it by wrapping.

Ew why do you call them smelly? Shouldn't you say scented?

I get the dilemma. I've struggled with this one before, now I tend to wrap it, if its their own ky gift, or wrap it if its say a lush gift set for the children in their pile.

I dont wrap it, if its part of a few gifts and in a gift bag where other presents are wrapped.

And whats wrong with smelly? I refer to sets as smellies, so if someone says what shall I get you?, I'd reply, oh I don't know a nice smellies set maybe.

Dear lord. It just sounds so unappealing to me.
Are you Northerners?

YABU for buying them in the first place.

I, and those I've spoken to, say "smellies." Like a smellies set.
We're Midlands. I have family in Scotland and Wales who say the same.

Spacerader · 02/12/2020 13:36

I'm in Wales. And say smellies.

Smellies sounds rank.
