Do you wrap stocking fillers?

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 😂

No.
Life is too short. I am not a martyr.
My kids have always had plenty to unwrap on Christmas Day; they are spoilt enough.
And not good for the environment.

No. They get a present from Father Christmas outside the stocking which is wrapped (in his own special retro paper) and maybe one or two other things will be wrapped but not the rest.
No tipping out here, they reach in and take things out one at a time

Yep ditto. They take the gifts out one at a time, as I did when I was a kid. I'm not wrapping a fucking satsuma.

We started stockings when DC1 was a baby and couldn't have managed wrapping paper, and then the next year took so long to empty the stocking of unwrapped gifts that there was no way I wanted to prolong that 😆 Thus it was decided whether to wrap or not! Mine can't tip out as knitted stockings and I fit a lot of things in, it really doesn't need to take longer 😆
My own stockings as a child were a mixture of wrapped and unwrapped, my DPs tended to fill it up with random relatives gifts from under the tree when they realised they hadn't got enough to fill it 🤦‍♀️

I wrap. Stockings are from Santa in our house.

Stocking is the wrap but sometimes if something is going to stick out or if there's a particular item that is more of a gift, then I will.
