Need opinions on DD's party favor - to wrap or not to wrap!? That is the question!

Do I bother wrapping these pails in cellophane with ribbon or leave them as is?

I think they'd look better in cellophane, but it might be easier for the kids to take them home by the handle.

Ugh. I don't want to add more work to my plate, but I only have to wrap about 8 if I should decide to do it.

I voted for no...no wrapping seems more kid-friendly to me.

But then again, I never wrap Easter baskets either, so I may not be the most objective Chat Icon

I love wrapping gifts & baskets, but I know my DH will think I'm nuts if he comes home and sees cellophane on them. Chat Icon

I think you should wrap them so they don't get pulled apart before distribution.

If it's kids, I'd say wrap them for the parents' sanity....that way they can be sure the whole bucket gets hom in one piece.

Cute favor!Chat Icon

I say wrap but other...not celophane but they sell clear bags for this purpose.

That way it's not as messy and it will save you time and energy.

Wrap them! You can print a Michael's coupon and get a HUGE roll for about $5.

Thanks girls!!! Chat Icon

I wrapped them last night since I already had a couple roles of cellophane in the basement. (My DH calls me "Hallmark" because of all my gift wrapping crap. Chat Icon )

I ran out of cellophane, so the unwrapped pail (not pictured) will go to DD. Chat Icon
