Do you use gift bags or wrap presents?
« on: December 18, 2010, 08:23:30 am »
I give a lot of presents in our family and have spent years wrapping gifts.  It takes a long time.  Then I started using a few gift bags.  What a time saver.  It cost a bit more at first, but I just have to replace the tissue paper.  I get the gift bags back and they even have their name tags on them.  I use the same bags year to year.

I usually reserve gift bags for birthdays, etc or a Christmas gift that is odd shaped.  I Love the wrapped gifts ..... I think there is something special about unwrapping a gift.  :)

 :wave: It really depends on what I need to wrap whether I wrap with paper or use a bag. I also consider if the person whom the gift is for are able to handle unwrapping a package or if it would be easier on them to just open a bag. When I give a gift to an elderly person , I use a gift bag. But I really like to box and wrap things up for my boys and use alot of tape so that they have to really make an effort to get in their gift. I know it sounds mean! Atleast; I don't use duct tape like they do to me, Ha!ha! We like to pull jokes on each other like that. :peace:

I love the gift bags I will wrap something if it is bir and does not fit into a gift bag. We have a store here that sells great gift bags really cheap so it is really worth just to use the bags what a time saver for me I get to do more baking :thumbsup:

   I like to use gift wrapping for the kids because they are excited when trying to get in the present and that's fun to watch but for the bigger ones gift bags are better.

I like gift bags their fast and inexpensive to use, I usually use several layer of tissie to wrap it in also, and buy it all after the season is over.  The  dollar tree as great price on the things.

This year I've just been getting things in the mail and letting the recipient of the gift open the package. No wrapping required for me :-)

I wrapped most of my presents and one I used a gift bag.  It was so big that I didn't have a box for it.  But I got all of it done.   Hope everyone has a merry Chrisitmas.

it depends on the gift as to how i wrap it. I prefer to wrap it, but sometimes it is just easier to use a gift bag

I like bags better, because there's less mess, and no leftover roll of wrapping paper to waste space.
