Do you decorate your gifts with bows,ribbon etc.?
Or just wrapping paper?
I do, try...depends on the size of gift.
Im not that creative but can manage a pretty bow.
I like the way it looks.
ETA: For my DH, I do try harder on his gifts.

Not usually. Makes stacking and carrying more difficult. Plus, it's more work for me....

I decorate with ribbon to make nice big chunky bows and I usually add an embellishment. Any time I see something cute I try to grab a few and hold on to them for gifts.
For Christmas I love using little jingle bells.

Re: Do you decorate your gifts with bows,ribbon etc.?
No, not usually. Only if it's going in a gift bag, then I'll tie it with some ribbon and curl it nice. Or I'll stick a bow on a GC.

Re: Do you decorate your gifts with bows,ribbon etc.?
Yes - I go overboard with ribbons and bows. Thats what my mom always did so I do it now too. I have an embarrassing amount of gift wrap supplies.

Ditto. Although my gifts look much prettier this year than they have in the past. I just hope they will survive the plane ride to NY.

I make homemade tags for each gift and normally don't do ribbon, unless I want to put a few gifts together.

me too!
I just do wrapping paper, a bow if I feel like being fancy.
I just dont see the point, it all gets thrown out anyway.
Plus, half the presents I have to bring somewhere else, so they get bumped and bruised and never look as nice as when I wrapped them

Re: Do you decorate your gifts with bows,ribbon etc.?
If you ever saw how horrible a bow I tie, you'd know why I never do. But I love how gifts look that are wrapped so elegantly with bows. Just a talent I never picked up

Re: Do you decorate your gifts with bows,ribbon etc.?
This year I am mainly using bags since I made pillows, but in other years I love to go to MIchael's and get pine cones, and fake flowers, and lots of stuff like that to decorate my gifts. I love an ornately wrapped gift.
