My kids are almost 3 and 5 - I am wondering if this year I should leave out one gift that is unwrapped - I was thinking a high chair for DD"s dolls and the skateboard for DS.
What do you do?
-
We will wrap ALL the presents! My mom was crazy and even wrapped the teeny tiny things that went in our stockings (chapstick, pens, nail polish, etc)
-
Gifts from us are wrapped. Gifts from Santa are unwrapped.
-
We wrap all presents!
I'm having a hard time deciding which ones are from Santa and which should be from us, though.
-
I basically unbox everything, and put in batteries if the stuff needs it, then I use gift bags. This way we can play with the stuff right away and I don't have to fiddle around for scissors, batteries and garbage bags.
-
Everything will be wrapped. Even Santa, I don't care if DH doesn't agree. Although this year her big gift was bought at consignment, so it won't be wrapped.
-
I wrap everything!
-
Santa doesn't wrap, but we do at our house.
-
I like to wrap, so I will do everything except big stuff (like the play kitchen this year).
-
@looch: I like how you think!!
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I have a hard time deciding too. From what I remember of my childhood, everything was from Santa, except the boring presents (clothes, underwear) and stockings. But, I don't want Santa to get all the credit
-
@Koolbreeze: we'll do the same thing.
@looch: this is really smart - I think we'll do the same thing once LO is big enough to understand. -
Santa's are unwrapped & next year will come in a custom canvas bag with her name on it (saw it on Pinterest and loved the idea of a santa sack) & stockings unwrapped...but everything from us is decorated to the nines
-
@swurlygurl: same! We got some good ones this year. I want to be the cool parents LOL
-
I wrapped everything except what goes in the stocking. He hasn't gotten a large gift at Christmas from Santa, but if he were to get one (skateboard, bike, etc..), I'd just stick a bow on it.
-
@swurlygurl: @Mrs. Jump Rope: I always give DS the best gift from me and DH. I refuse to be outdone by Santa, lol
-
I wrap them all! Except last year I left her B drum unwrapped because I wasn't going to attempt that one.
-
@looch: That's really smart!
We don't have LOs yet, but when I was a kid, mom wrapped all presents from her and dad. Things from Santa (including items in stocking) were unwrapped.
-
I'll wrap everything except his Zany Zoo.
-
gifts from santa are the only ones that are unwrapped (and assembled if necessary). The ones from us will be wrapped.
-
Oh yes. Everything will be wrapped, other than the stocking items.
