Wrapping paper - I only use bags once in a while when something is to awkward to wrap.

Re: Gift bags or wrapping paper?

for the holidays I wrap almost everything. during the rest of the year I find myself throwing everything in gift bags. I think opening a wrapped gift is more fun, and that's why I do it for the holidays.

Re: Gift bags or wrapping paper?

Just depends on the shape of the gift. This year I'm using more bags than wrap since pillows are hard to wrap since they are soft and not exactly square.

For Christmas, kids always get wrapping paper. Adults whose gifts are in standard boxes get wrapping paper, otherwise it's a bag. Birthdays, it depends on what I have in the house.

I use both sometimes I put a bunch of small wraped gifts in a bag just to make it easier to carry.

Re: Gift bags or wrapping paper?

I used to always use wrapping paper b/c it looks so pretty ..but now that I travel to Florida for christmas..I can't wrap beforehand b/c u aren't supposed to have giftwrapped gifts in your luggage..and by the time I get there I'm usually running around helping mom that gift bags are easier....and there are no little kids in my family other wise I would still wrap for them. As for friends and family here ..I do both depending what I'm giving.
