elena_398 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 The little gifts in the stockings I do. The kids get so excited unwrapping the little things. My daughter's wrapped items will be the jewelry set I bought her and perfume. The rest like little toys/candy won't be though. I try to put in 2 or 3 little wrapped gifts
bayhaysay Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I always have in years past but it takes FOREVER for my kids to unwrap them so I may not this year.
JazzMama Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 My daughter's are not wrapped. However, my husband and I have a tradition that a few most-wanted items are placed in each other's stocking sometime before Christmas (it's always a race to see whose is filled first). Because I didn't think the obvious, one year I looked inside and accidentally saw my big surprise. After this, we have both wrapped what goes inside the stockings.
outnumbered Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 If it's a larger toy or a movie, I will. The smaller stuff, no.
cami_reardon Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 For the grandkids I do because they always have to look inside, but the older kids I do not. I figure if they aren't able to stay out of the stocking by the ages of 16, 18, 18 and 29, then so be it.
Tracy72 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 yes I wrap them....they get there stockings Christmas eve
Kandy Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I will wrap most of it, including gift cards, lip stick/chap stick. bubbles, ear rings, rings etc. just dont wrap the candy or stuff like that.
ebony0421 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 There are some items that I wrap, but there are books etc I just stick in the stocking. I always put the wrapped gifts on the top so I will know if the stocking has been messed with.
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I always wrap at least something...just like my own parents do!
decafmom Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 No, because Santa gifts aren't wrapped at all here.
dorkydiva Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 No, I don't because Santa doesn't wrap what he brings.
snakeswiff Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 yes, unless it's candy. My kids LOVE to unwrap stuff, plus it gives me somethingto do with inevitable leftover pieces of paper that are never big enough to wrap anything sizeable!
vonnyb Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Yes I normally wrap the stocking stuffers. Not candy or any very small gifts though. If my son see's it he is going to want it lol.
StephanieD Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Growing up, my stocking stuffers were never wrapped.
mrsbmb Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 i do some of them. The only thing my DD is dying for is a giant candy cane.. she is 13 and looks forward to that huge cane in there evey yr. kathy
erh12275 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Nope. Don't have the time for that. Even if I did I don't think I would. My parents never did.
best4less Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Yes even the candy, and everyone always makes fun of me because of it lol.
avsfan Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Some of it. Probably not if it's a difficult to wrap item or if it's edible... But, these are things for my DH or the cats. We don't have kids.
mama2ella Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 not for dd but yes for dh we don't usually do much for each other (we usually just pool of $ and go buy something after Christmas for the house)...We do exchange stockings and I like to wrap his things so he feels like he has something to unwrap
turtle_elf Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 No, we don't wrap the ones in the stocking. We wrap the majority of what goes under or around the tree. With the exception of a few to look cute, like a stuffed animal or doll on top of each child's pile!
