timbermommy Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Do you coordinate your childrens gifts by wrapping paper? ( example My son this year has star wars.. my daughter has princesses and my baby daughter has pooh) do you try to have your tree match or themed? ( this year i dont know.. last year was a medely cause the kids helped.. but years before that.. was silver.. red.. blue... do you change table cloths and plates/cups?
BrandyJervas Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 yup I'm as anal retentive as they come lol don't feel lonely
Booterbunz Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I do that only because I forget to put tags on things right away then I end up forgetting who the gift was originally for! LOL So, each person gets their own wrapping paper!
fairydustcrissy Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Nope! All my gifts are in a big pile in my closet, and I have a list of what goes to who. Thats it. And I just wrap so that each paper looks like it has about the same amount under the tree. Its just basically a free for all.
treasure60 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I have 2 kinds of wrapping paper for the girls and 2 for the boys. If they are younger then they get like Blues Clue, Strawberry Shortcake, Pooh, Mickey Mouse,,,etc. Same with adults..2 different kinds for variety. My tree is color coordinated.
biomajor Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 This year all of my kids gifts will either be in red or green--without tags so they don't know who's getting which color!! My daughter guessed almost every gift last year before christmas so this year, she'll have to guess which color is hers first!!
erh12275 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I go thru spurts. One time I am the next I just do whatever.
timbermommy Posted November 13, 2005 Author Posted November 13, 2005 everything matches here.. even down to the ( i know this is bad) toothbrushes and toothpaste i put in thier stockings:gd_stars:
ShawnainKY02 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Usually use about 3 kinds of paper, but don't use it to differentiate between kids. Just for variety. And Santa always uses some type of paper that is totally different from ours. Tree is a hodgepodge as we have built it over 9 years of collecting a new ornament each year for each of us.
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 my tree is color themed, but a free for all on the gifts..i dont put them under the tree till xmas morning so doesn't really matter.
shopping mom Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I probably have 15 rolls of wrap;no themes here. The tree is a collection of ornaments that have been in the family since who knows when, homemade and gifts from the kids. Most of the time I do not put names on the packages, but will write something like To the one who..... and name an accomplishment or a feature or a like or dislike. The have always loved figuring it out. I did make all the tags a color one year, that way they could not guess what was in them.
Rob9874 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I made my wife get Batman wrapping paper we saw at Wal-Mart, to wrap my gifts in. And I'm 31!
Mommie2one Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Im lucky. Just have a daughter. But I did hunt until I found the characters she liked for the wrapping paper. Tags too. Bow have to color coordinate with the paper too. Drives my husband nuts
