    Do you use wrapping paper or gift bags?

    I have so much stuff to wrap that I'm almost ready to just go spend a ton of money on gift bags so that I don't have to wrap everything! I won't do it but I'm really tempted. I do use some gift bags but I try to wrap as much as I can so that people can have fun tearing into their gifts.

    For children I always wrap in paper but adults I usually just go with xmas bags. I rarely buy any cause I am like a crazy bag lady and keep all that stuff to reuse them! The dollar store has nice cheap bags also!

    Doh
    I do neither. DH and I are trying to figure out what to do with DS gifts this year. We got him a bag (that I ordered wrong but it is coming right) that will hold some gifts and then I thought about just hiding the rest. The only other people we are buying for are my mother and step father this year. For them I am thinking either wrapping in kitchen towels or in reusable grocery bags. Everyone can use those.

    3 Ladybugs~ I love "wrapping" gifts in reusable bags! Everyone can always use more bags! I had never thought of the towels though. That is great. I hate throwing paper and stuff away.

    I recycle gift bags too. But I love the pretty wrapping paper.

    I wrapped gifts for 7 hours last night. I didn't have as much as I thought for Annaliese but I still had a ton to wrap. All the stuff DH and I got her is wrapped in Rudolph paper and everything from Santa is wrapped in "Santa Clause is Coming To Town" paper.

    I'm so excited for Christmas morning!!!

    I like wrapping paper. I just buy ONE big old roll and it will fit any present. I do like at Walgreens... or maybe it's Hallmark section at the grocery store... those ready made gift bags with the tissue and the curly ribbons. They aren't cheap but they sure are convenient.

    Both. I start off doing more wrapping but as Christmas gets closer and I get more harried, I use more bags because it goes so much more quickly.

    I reuse the ones from previous years but still end up buying more every year because I usually run out.

    MAV-- The Dollar store is a great place to get bags and all the other wrapping supplies like tissue paper, tape, to/from tags, etc at a really inexpensive price.
