Do you wrap presents individually so the kids have got more to open?

[ChristmasGrunge]

I don't buy a whole lot but usually I wrap each and every item separately (so if there's a series of books I wrap each book individually rather than putting them together in a single wrapped present.) just so it looks like more and they can have more fun opening more presents.

Does anyone do the same? I am feeling this year that it's a bit too silly to do it that way so I think I will consolidate some of them into larger presents (DD is 7).

I wrap most presents, but have a few unwrapped as they were stocking fillers.

Always wrapped everything separately …3 kids…now 3 grandkids….it would feel lazy not to

Yes until I get too tired, then I give up and pair gifts up. Wrapped more together this year than usual, it’s far easier with multiple DCs and smaller gifts. The remaining are going in gift bags.

Wrap them all so long as they you have enough paper ( usually run out here and resort to birthday paper ( they really don’t care !) It draws out the opening of presents , feels like more and it is exciting to see if they get the whole book set..might add something that looks similar (a different book or puzzle book) to add to the mystery.
there is nothing more exciting as 7 yr old child to arrive to a pile of presents on Xmas day. Even if some of those gifts are things you would usually need to buy (socks, new toothbrush, water bottle, lip balm, pencil case) and a few cheep treats (sweets)

Cheep 😂 . Please bring in edit facility mumsnet !

If I bought 3 books for example would group them and wrap that, clothes in one bundle so like things together

Then stocking when he was little gift bag now has the small stuff in it unwrapped

Depends really - on whether I'm trying to even things out a wee bit between kids or if things would be a bit boring to open on their own. Eg Dd is getting a few different hair styling things - I've wrapped all those together.

I also don't wrap stocking items that are things like sweets and toiletries.

I've always reinforced that it's not quantity of gifts that matters and encourage them to only ask for things they really want- I don't have space for tons of toys and hate the wastefulness.

I wrap gifts as they come, so eg a book set sold in a pack together is 1, but 3 separate books is 3.

I did see someone on SM saying they wrap everything separately, so a 12 pack of pens had every pen wrapped individually to look like 'more'. Who has the time or energy?! and presumably a younger dc is going to get bored unwrapping so much. I know last year my 2yo opened a gift, played with it then opened another, it took 3 days to finish.

Yes definitely. If it was a series of say three books bought separately, I would wrap separately. Any more than that in the series, I would probably wrap together. I think it would seem a bit silly and kind of funny for them to keep opening a present which was another book in the series.

But yes generally, I wrap everything separately.

Yes, everything wrapped separately.
