Whats your wrapping style???

I love to see how different people wrap presents. Since this year, I have had to wrap all my own presents, go on, tell the class...whats your wrapping style?

Are you a ribbon person, do you prefer a certain type of paper, or are you like Candy Spelling...do you have a whole room in your house dedicated to wrapping presents? Please share...

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I avoid wrapping at all costs. I usually give it to my sister to wrap!!

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

My style is to cover the whole thing & use as much tape as possible so it doesn't fall apart.

If I had my druthers, I'd prefer the soap opera style wrapping where I open a box top that is wrapped.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I wait till most of the gifts are bought, then wrap them using an assortment of wrapping paper. I don't use ribbons or bows - I save that for showers.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

Honestly, my 9 year old does a better job than me. I have 4 kids to wrap for - I'm happy if the paper is on straight - and maybe a bow!

My style is to use a bag and tissue paper. Don't EVER give me wrapping paper...it is truly sad how bad I am with it.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

i love to wrap and i'm really anal about making it look perfect.

i buy a really cute or funky wrapping paper and do all of my gifts in that print. i don't mess with ribbons but all my gifts do get a self-stick bow on top

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I make sure each box fits perfectly into the paper before cutting it. I think make sure that there is enough tape to secure it!

I will either put a name label on it (if it is going out of our house) or black marker the name on the package (for DH). If I have extra time, I will add a bow but not usually!

I use one of the spare bedrooms as the "wrapping" room

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I use different papers (any kind will do) and lots of ribbons. I only use bows if I'm out of ribbon. I attach bells to the ribbon and try to use 3 pieces of tape per gift.

My DH makes PERFECT bows!!

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I'm usually wrapping gifts on my already cluttered dining room table..I can wrap anything in the tiniest of spaces. I can make wrapping paper fit and use just enough tape.

I like bows but I have been know to use ribbon on ocassion.

When in a pinch a nice bag with tissue does the trick.

I love to wrap gifts and I think I do a good job at it BUT I hate to use ribbons or bows....dumb huh??

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I love to wrap presents...down side is as soon as I told Mom there was no Santa she put me in charge of wrapping all the presents.

I like to use ribbons and also put on a little embellishment like bells, small ornaments, or cute little stockings.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I like to wrap gifts. Except for trying to find space for it. I like to use ribbons and bows, but at Christmas, I don't usually too much. Especially when I have to travel with the packages - the adornments just seem to get ruined.

I love to wrap- I used to spend alot more time on it then I do

or I buy really nice gift bags- that way they can be reused ( hopefully)

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I actually love wrapping gifts. I have tons of different types of paper, tissue paper, ribbons and bows.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

Neat. No bows or ribbons, since they don't get appreciated by the kiddies. But I need to make my folds even and the boxes wrapped tightly.

I use all styles of wrapping paper. I don't favor a particular color or design, but I like to balance out my colors under the tree. Not too many green presents (or red, or blue) etc. This last tidbit of info has gone unnoticed by DH, but it all looks good, so he doesn't complain.

Oh and I always use tissue paper for clothing.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I use whatever paper we have and hope that I don't rip the paper or have way too much paper when wrapping, I am really not too good at it

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

In enjoy wrapping too. I love the really fancy wrapping paper so I usually buy after the holidays to get them on sale. I also buy the coordinating bows and ribbons. I only use gold and silver with hints of red to match my christmas tree decor. My only problem is when people send me gifts in the mail I have to hide them in the back of the tree so it doesnt get in the way of my "theme".

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I never put ribbons or bows on holiday gifts because they're either being shipped and they get ruined or they're being transported and get ruined, or fall off.

I wrap everything sitting on the living room floor. (it's clean! )

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I actual enjoy wrapping gifts I try to use a few diffrent kinds of wrapping paper I Like the Shiny kind that has a little give to it there's not acidnetal rips in them. I also use bags for some things too.

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

i buy cheap plain paper then buy nice ribbon

Re: Whats your wrapping style???

I like wrapping gifts to an extent and I like to take the extra time to make each gift pretty and like a treat-- afterall, presents are just as fun to look at as they are to get.
