Do you wrap stocking fillers?

[Pottytrainhelp]

I normally do wrap them but not sure I can be bothered this year so was curious what other people do.

I think part of it is also that we’ve done a mix of little fun gifts & practical gifts for the kids (1 & 6). I think the 6 yr old would be a bit disappointed to unwrap mouthwash 😂

I wrap.

nope... stocking IS the wrapping

Always wrap them - half the fun is tearing the paper off.

Yes, because it slows the present-unwrapping process down!

At that age yes, because it kept them occupied for a decent amount of time unwrapping them all as it was usually an early morning start! I could then lie in bed a bit longer feigning surprise as each gift was unwrapped.

I wrap. Except edibles.

Yes. It’s all wrapped in Santa’s paper! This isn’t anything particularly special, just different paper from the rest of their presents and usually with a Santa design. Last year it was HoHoHo paper from Tesco!

Wrap or at least wrap up in newspaper without sticking.
Though I might open up the packet of socks and put a thing in each sock

Yes we do, except for chocolates which go in unwrapped

Some I do, some I don’t. Mostly sweets and things will be unwrapped, small gifts wrapped.

Snap. Waste of paper.

I wrap.

Yes. With stockings, the wrapping is more important than the gift and 'practical' presents like mouthwash becoming even more magical with the anticipation and the guessing. A mix of fun and practical, silly and necessary - ALL WRAPPED - is the secret of a great stocking.

When I am Prime Minister wrapping stocking presents will be incorporated into the Children's Act.

Yes, everything except the coins and chocolate orange is wrapped. It has to be heavy and rustly or it isn't a stocking!

I have 3 to wrap and it's a PITA, but I spread it over a week or two. Mine are 12-16 and they still bring their stockings into my bedroom and unwrap them while I watch. It brings us all joy.

Always, including sweets

Haha.

I think the wrapping makes the stocking more fun. DS2 called it sock roulette last year. Will this small package be chocolate or socks?

just pulling things out of an oversized sock seems less fun to me. My mum didn’t wrap stocking stuff (or most of the actual presents either). I much prefer doing it my way. So that’s how I do it.

I wrap everything except satsuma and chocolate coins

Nope. It's a waste of time and paper.

Wrapping stocking presents while drinking wine and watching Die Hard on Xmas Eve is one of life's great pleasures.

Always wrap - I used to do fancy with ribbons but no longer 😂

Yes, always wrap everything. It’s the excitement of unwrapping that’s the best thing, even now DC are teens. We collect wrapping paper from the main presents and reuse it for stockings in later years to avoid wasting paper.

Were a bit disorganised, so DH and I always do the wrapping in front of a film on Christmas Eve after the kids have gone to bed (or been shooed away to their bedrooms these days …)

They have to be wrapped! I do use recyclable paper and tape though

Wrap the more interesting bits. Can't be fecked wrapping a tangerine!

I wrap because then it takes more time to empty the stocking

I do but this year I am going to be putting them in paper Xmas sweet bags. Got this idea off here and it's genius!!
