brynnfromtheblock Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Do you hide them, store them or wrap right away? I end up wrapping within a couple of days so noone gets nosy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunniq Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 On a good BF I am home by 09:00am, and if family is visting I will place my purchases in my closet and then take a nap so I can be a little alert when they start to need the "hostess". In that case I usually wrap when they have gone to bed later that night. However if family is not visiting, which this year they may not because of space, I try to wrap as soon as I get home and then I nap. I start shopping long before BF, but try to make BF my last shopping day for Christmas gifts. I save all wrapping for that day or night. The tree goes up on the Sunday following Thanksgiving, and I like to have the gifts wrapped and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I really suck at wrapping gifts, so I either pay for in-store (or in-mall) gift wrapping or it gets done Christmas Eve night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakes_mommy Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I hide them first then pull them out all at once. I am going to try to just wrap them as I get them but I don't see that happening!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry1014 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 After we get home from BF shopping, we stash the gifts. I then spread my wrapping over the first 2 weeks in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeepNeep Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 About a week before Christmas. No prying eyes, as we have no children at home. But a few years ago I wrapped early, placed them under the tree and awoke to shredded wrapping. Seems the cat didn't understand there was still a week to go...

Christy Garner Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The gifts i buy on black friday are usually for my kids from Santa so most of them are not wrapped, the ones that are from mom and dad or to other people, I will wrap usually at the last minute. Black friday weekend is very busy for me. We put up our tree that weekend and decorate the house for the holidays so no wapping that weekend.

abentley Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I love, love, love, love to wrap. I try to set aside a day to do this, but yet I don't put any "stay at home " gifts under our tree. Just the "need to be delivered". I still have my lil ones still beleiving in Santa, so they get special Santa Paper. I am trying to talk my hubby or girlfriends into going to Vegas for the weekend, shop all day, have dinner, a show, and have a wrapping marathon all night. It would be all finished when we go home!!

jbearcbear Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It depends. Sometimes right away; sometimes later; sometimes last minute. But it gets done eventually. I do love wrapping presents though, it makes me really happy. I love Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8kos4u Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I usually don't get my wrapping done until Christmas Eve. Every year I say I won't wait until the last minute...every year I waite until the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
