Wrapping Paper-The same or different?

[Jenn Lynn]

As I was wrapping DD Christmas presents this afternoon I started thinking about the different prints we are using this year. So far it is only 3 and it is all Pooh. (DD is totally into Pooh!)

I remember a family that I used to baby-sit for used the same print of paper for all of the presents. I think that is cool, but I would have a problem sticking to just one!

Does your family use the same print or a variety?

I like a variety.. Seems to look a bit more "festive" under the tree.. However, my DD - who is 30 - wants any gifts given to her wrapped in Mickey Mouse paper.. Nothing else will do.. LOL

There are so many pretty styles of wrapping paper.. I could spend a fortune on paper alone!!!!!!

I like variety. However, I do assign each of the kids one wrap (they don't know which until Christmas Eve) and Santa has his own wrap.

I think we use 4 or 5 different prints...
Santa doesn't wrap

I have a dozen different papers. I buy one or two more each year.

I usually do each of the kids in a different paper. Gifts for friends and relatives are in a variety of Christmas papers. Santa uses his own paper, as well. It's always different from ours.

I use a different paper for every present..... My collection of paper is over 50 rolls....... LOL

And gifts from Santa are not wrapped, nor are they in boxes...... I do have two large Santa bags, that I stick the toys from him in, since it is more fun to reach in and pull stuff out..... but Santa's toys are made by elves and they dont put things in boxes nor have time to wrap them....

I also open up every toy and remove all the wire twist ties that hold everything in place and then tape the items back in the box so they look nice..... No way am I going to spend hours and hours Christmas morning un twist tieing a million toys!

I use a variety. I have a friend who uses like mostly red or green or blue. But they are different. I think she orders them Current catalog that already has them put together.

We use a wide variety of paper for the gifts "from mom and dad", Santa of course uses different paper and only one kind.

I try to wrap each of the kids and DH's presents in different paper. I try not to duplicate any paper. I like a lot of different colors and wrapping under the tree

Santa picks a special type for each child every year. He also wraps as he buys, so that if by chance those nosy preteens find something they shouldn't - they won't know whose is whose!

We have a bunch of different types to wrap all the other gifts in - I like the look of all the different types under the tree.

Having a special wrap really helped my girls know whose was whose in the days pre-reading - they would find their name on a tag, then they knew that any in that paper were for them!

A wide variety, but all within the same color scheme. This year the theme is green and gold.

Well, I would like lots of different wraps. I'm very frugal, however, and am using the wrapping paper I got at Lowe's after Christmas about 3 years ago. It's all Rugrats Christmas paper. The rolls are huge and I got them for 10 cents a roll. Maybe I'll run out in a few years...

Santa doesn't wrap for us, either.

I'm a gift bag kind of person myself. I hate wrapping presents. When I was little, Santa never wrapped the presents he left at our house. He just put them under the tree un-wrapped. Otherwise, we would have been drowning in wrapping paper on Christmas morning and my mom would have had to quit her job to wrap all those presents!

I love variety! We have six different rolls.

 

[zurgswife]

I use a variety and Santa uses on or 2 of my rolls for everybody///

This year I went with a variety of Disney paper. Sometimes I will do all foils or shades of a color. Most everything is wrapped and all I need to do is put on the bows.

dandave__-

I hear you! I am very frugal as well (I still remember my grandmother carefully unwrapping the tape and SAVING THE PAPER!)


My DH bought a ton last year it was a variety pack.. I don't like all the rolls opened at once, so its use a roll, and until it runs out, then another roll.. So far we have used about 2 1/2 rolls. We currently have 2 in the closet, one is blue/purple/silver/red.. and another one is red with toys on it.
