I'm horrible at wrapping, so usually I just bag it up.

i have a slight addiction with wrapping paper.
i LOVE it. if i can wrap it, it's getting wrapped!
i put oddly shaped or soft things in bags...

funny thing is, i can't wrap worth crap  :sad1:
i try, but the cute paper makes up for (and hides)
my mess, lol.

i think wrapping gifts is awesome because of the anticipation and excitement involved with opening them.  ;D

Haha, I usually do both, wrapped and bagged. I like wrapping gifts, because it keeps it hidden. I like bagged gifts, because its like an extra gift, a reusable gift. I've been given so many gifts bags, I like to reuse them, but not with the same person, unless if its part of a gag or joke. ;D

We do both ways, I guess what ever works best for a particular gift.

I would say to gift wrap if it's for a child and gift bag for an adult or for both.  I'm just too lazy to gift wrap so I usually just use a gift bag.

It really depends on the gift.  I wrap most of my gifts but sometimes I find a cute little gift bag for a small item.  I end up wrapping it anyway and then putting it in the gift bag.  Sometimes if I don't want to really wrap it I 'fake' wrap it by wrapping tissue paper around it then putting it in the gift bag.

If I had my choice I would put everything in a bag.  Yes, I am lazy.  But I have a ton of wrapping paper that I probably couldn't use up in thirty years so I will use it since I have it, instead of buying the bags.

I hate wrapping presents so I buy boxes with a design on them or use gift bags.  :)

I'm terrible at wrapping so I usually just gift bag. But my BFF loves wrapping paper and complains if I bag a gift instead of wrapping it -- even if the gift isn't for her. I guess growing up, her family was more of a stickler for having the gifts wrapped very prettily under the tree, while I remember dad throwing a blanket over some of the bulkier presents or using newspaper to wrap our presents.

I do think that for young kids, the gifts should be wrapped at least a little bit. Part of the excitement for them is the discovery of what they got; by wrapping the gifts it takes just a little longer to figure out what the gift is by having to unwrap it first. I remember my parents had once wrapped a large box that held a smaller box that held a shoe box that held a ring box wherein I found an ad clipping for a new computer that they had purchased but would pickup later in the week; it was fun going through all those boxes trying to figure out what I was getting.

I like gift wrap but some things just don't wrap right so gift bags are best for them.

I actually do both, if I have several gifts for the same person, I like to wrap them all individually and then put them in a nice gift bag. I enjoy watching them pull out each gift and unwrap it and then go back in for more!  :heart:

I love to wrap presents instead of bags.  I think bags are just too easy to get into.  I like to watch people struggle to get the ribbons off.  Aren't I a rascal? :)
