Does anyone else have a wrapping paper "theme" for each person and then change their mind and re-wrap everything?

Or is it Just Me?

It is just you. You are madder than a mad thing.

HTH.

Jesus, no.

I am banned from wrapping gifts in this house. Dh does it. Neat corners. No themes though.

You are well hard-core, mp.

god no
are oyu makein MORE work again

The thing is, I usually buy Shit Presents, so I hope that the fact that they are wrapped like precious relics will distract people from this fact

Er NO.

Taps forehead knowingly

Lol mine gets done on xmas eve when i can't possibly leave it any longer!
My theme is try and get it to cover the gift with as little sellotape as possible.

I can't be the only person that does this

There are people on MN who decant washing up liquid

i bought a box of about 6 diffo things of wrapping paper form IKea
all balck , white, red etc geomtetirc patterns.

all kind of goes.

under tree looks ace atm

i haave a rl mate who only accepts red green or gold wrapping

You clearly have too much time on your hands!

here it is

I hate, hate wrapping presents.
No themes here, they are lucky if the edges meet when I wrap!

Sorry that was to MP - your friend is mad too Willie!

your paper is lovely willy

I have 3 different wrapping papers for each DD saves on tags too.

Having said that, I do have a theme this year. I am Mrs Smug of South West London, as I have bought recycled/recyclable wrapping paper, which I had to buy online.

Did you know that wrapping paper that you buy in the shops is not recyclable?

Ooh willie I've got that paper.

Got it for half price last week.

Tis vvvv tasteful

MP, are you Kirsty?

If not, did you watch her last week?

She used ribbon and glass beads that cost more than the item inside to decorate the gifts .

But in answer to your question...no, I don't.

I do themes but don't change my mind and re-wrap. I love wrapping...I might even glue gun on some cinnamon sticks and fake berries.

No But actually sort of yes because each person only has one present.

Yes MP. Of course we all have a theme for each person. And I'm sure we all regularly re-wrap presents, don't we ladies.

It'll all be fine now MP. Just step this way into the lovely van here. It's going to be OK.

Children get the bright stuff. Grownups get the boring one I had to get in order to make it up to 3 for 2. And that's as far as it goes...

Santa has a theme for each DC, it stops the fighting over which present fell out of which stocking.

And I do buy co-ordinating papers (this year's Lidl offering of red & white & reindeer lest you think I am being poncy) for all the wrapped gifts under tree. I do shove other people's offerings to the back if they don't match
