To wrap or not that is the question?

[howtheheck123]

Daughter is just over 2 so getting into Christmas this year.

I always received wrapped gifts from Santa when I was young ( unless it was a bike or slide, something bigger). Husbands Santa gifts were always just left under the tree unwrapped.

Stockings we both never had anything wrapped.

I personally think she'll get too distracted by everything so opening one at a time is better, plus tearing off paper is fun for kids.

What do you do with yours? Either way it's about the magic, which I am loving!

Wrap everything!

Mine are 18 and 20, still wrap everything, they’d lynch me if I didn’t..

2 year old? Wrap everything . They love tearing open the presents.

Are you asking about wrapping the presents under the tree? Or the stocking?

Of course wrap tree presents. But no, we don’t wrap stockings.

We use fabric wrapping.

@Mazuslongtoenail tree gifts only.

I wrap everything, takes them longer and is more fun

💯 wrap.
Part of the excitement is seeing their faces unwrap the gifts.

@stargirl1701 interesting I'll look into this in general. We do recycle but this sounds handy.

I don’t know about girls but boys that age love playing with big boxes

Wrap. No fun otherwise.

@NightmareGirl Girls love giant boxes too, I'm actually about to break a big one up that she played in at weekend. I feel bad but it's taking up space!

🤣 my girl loves boxes more than my boy!

We always use brown paper prints wrapping for presents in stockings from Father Christmas. Makes a nice distinction of presents and a tradition to follow.

My 10yo girl still loves a box!

We did a mix depending on the gift. Something like a bike or barbie house would be built beforehand, so at mist would have a sheet over it.
Stuff that didn't need construction was wrapped.

Thanks all for commenting on what you do, it's pretty much unanimous, and what I'm used to, so wrapping it is!

@stargirl1701 thank you.

Everything is wrapped except for the gold coins and satsuma in the stocking.

@BooksAndHooks Aah memories the satsuma are the bottom of the stocking. She'll definitely be getting one of those! ☺️

Of course you wrap them. Tearing the paper off is the best bit. Just buy recyclable (no shiny bits and matt).

I've never heard of unwrapped presents before MN! Everything gets wrapped even stocking presents in this house .

We do stockings and Santa gift unwrapped (but with a bow/ribbon) and family presents wrapped, but our Santa only brings one gift and fills the stocking.

Wrap it all. She'll get as much pleasure from the wrapping paper as she does from the present.
