Those with infants (or BTDT moms) Christmas question

Are you wrapping their gifts? DS is only 3 months so has NO clue what is going on. If I wrap them then I will be unwrapping them and to me thats such a waste!!

My DD was 3 weeks her first Christmas and I did wrap them. It was kind of a waste, but it was funChat Icon

ETA we got her practical gifts - you know diapers, wipes, formulaChat Icon THe rest of the family got her so many toys I didn't bother.

When my oldest was born he was only 3.5 wks old and I bought a lot of presents and wrapped them. My mother thought I was crazy and maybe I was but I still enjoyed it Chat Icon

Ryan's 9 months - I did a few gift bags so he can pull the gifts out and then wrapped a few. The "big" item -DH will carry out and present him with (that's what my Dad used to do with our big gifts Chat Icon )

Re: Those with infants (or BTDT moms) Christmas question

Honestly....DD a month old her first Christmas and we didn't even buy her anything. Chat Icon But she didn't NEED anything.

So, no, you don't need to wrap his gifts.

I wrapped Joey's gifts, but DH and my parents thought I was nuts. I think I wrapped them more for the photo ops than anything else! Chat Icon

Re: Those with infants (or BTDT moms) Christmas question

Bella was 6 months last Christmas and we (I) wrapped everything for her. I would help her out cuz she obviously had no clue what to do. But it was still fun.

Re: Those with infants (or BTDT moms) Christmas question

DD was 4 months last year and I did wrap her presents. I also unwrapped her presents for her because what 4 month old can open their presents? It wa just silly, but I am compelled to do this.

DD was 6 months for her first X-mas. We wrapped her gifts, even though we did the unwrapping. She liked watching Daddy rip through the wrapping paper.

We celebrate Chanukah but it is the same idea! Chat Icon We only wrapped them because I also have a 2yo who loves to unwrap the gifts. We haven't given the baby his gifts yet though, maybe tonight Chat Icon I only got a few things for the baby.

Last year I put them in gift bags. I let DH open all the gifts because he doesn't know what half of them are.
