I enjoy wrapping pressies so it's matching all the way here, takes me ages to choose the paper I like.
I also have separate wrapping paper for Santa's gifts  |

"We always use a mixture of different wrapping paper for the kids.
Always thought it makes it look more exciting seeing all the colour xx"
I used to love the different coloured ones as a kid  |

"I use tin foil.
It's cheap, sparkley and doesn't require tape...
You ha e to buy an expensive one so it doesn't rip!!  "
Turkey foil is cheap enough this time of year and you can then use it to cook the Christmas dinner.
It's my contribution to recycling... |

"My fella is really good at wrapping . He is actually bordering on OCD levels as it has to be perfect or he does it all again lol"
I find men are like that... With wrapping presents of all things! Why not everything else, like keeping the bedroom floor tidy |

"Has to be colour coordinated... Different paper from Santa. Make our own gift tags "
I used to use old Christmas cards for tags! Cut them out with crinkle effect scissors |

I find the whole wrapping thing increasingly tedious. Every year I try to put it off as long as possible. It's so boring.
That being said, I still like it to look good! It all has to be as neat and symmetrical as possible. A nice variety of paper must be used and the tags have to be stuck perfectly in the top left hand corner of the present! Come to think of it, I may have slight OCD about it all |

Separate paper from Santa of course
And extra twizzles for those special gifts |

One year I went to town on my wrapping, nice paper, nice bows but no one gave a shit when I gave them my presents so it's just the usual wrap, stick a gift tag on (that usually falls off) and I'm done.
My friend follows smithy from Gavin and Stacey's idea, foil: wrap and scrunch. Genius!
Talking of wrapping, me and the ex normally sit down Christmas Eve and wrap the stocking presents for the boys (we have three) in the time it takes him to do one of our boys I have done two, he is a little bit to precise on the old measuring the present and stuff, I cut the paper and stick (usually it's a challenge for the two that get me!) |
