Definitely character wrap or bags for the youngsters. Im guilty of buying many gift cards this time of year, therefore reducing the purchases of wrap, etc.

I definitely bag a lot more than I did years in the past, especially when I get bags from others (so I can re-use). I typically only wrap with theme paper when the item is big or is an assortment of clothes, but I compliment this with a card and stick em bow (I'm poor at ribbons).

I like using solid color foils for my kids!    Everyone else I usually use the typical Christmas colors and themes!

I make my own fabric bags and reuse them from year to year.

Since I have young kids, I like to buy character paper that they like, a different one for each kid.  They know which ones are theirs by the paper.
My son is going to a birthday party today and I made a pillow case for the bday boy and put the gift inside it as the wrap.  A way to reuse and get two gifts instead of one!

I like those bags stuffed with tissue paper.....very convenient.
I used to help people wrap their presents. It was fun making the triangle edge folds on the sides.

I used to wrap a couple of hundred presents every year.  It took a LOOOOOOOOng time.  I finally started using bags and tissue paper.  I snag the bags back from family memvers and use them over and over.  I have also cut back the presents to around one hundred.

I still like to wrap presents for kids, but it seems most people have started using bags instead. I like those too, and often re-use them.
