i do both but bags are so much easier but not all presents fit in them so those i wrap
I used to wrap and this year I am very tired of wrapping alone especially at midnight and my so called husband sleeping. I argued and it turn out he wrapped by himself alone compared to me been wrapping gifts for 12 years alone...

I mainly wrap my presents, but when an item has a big and unusual shape or if I'm giving a lot of small presents to a person/family then I would favor a bag.

I really get into the Christmas spirit wrapping packages.  I prefer it and lot's of embellishments which means $$$.  It looks so much better though.

I usually wrap my gifts as I like to make them special with pretty bows and ribbons. I like to use the shiny foil papers as they just sparkle under the tree.  The only time I use bags if I have an odd item that would be hard to fit into a box or if I have a last minute gift and don't have time to wrap it.

I use more bags for my gifts than wrapping them.  Wrapping takes more time so I try to put as many gifts in bags as possible and wrap as few as possible.  Love those Christmas bags.   :)

I buy the gift boxes on sale, then all I have to do is add a bow (or not). I also like the bags.

I like to wrap gifts in paper or use other creative packaging ideas.  One year, no money for wrapping paper so I spread brown paper bags on the drive way and spray painted them (had cans of spraypaint already) then used brown string and pieces of pine and cedar trees and rose hips for the bow thingy.  But, I have to amit that I use bags for those funny shaped gifts and for jars of jams and othe home made from the kitchen gifts because they are much sturdier and easier, plus, I have so many collected from others and they hold up a long time.  One hint though, I always put a little peice of paper in them when I put them away to say who gave them to me so I don't give them back to them the next year! That's just embarrassing.

I use to love wrapping gifts, but now I've gotten somewhat lazy. Gift bags are now my alternative. I have so many gifts to wrap every year. Call me scrooge, but I probably won't be wrapping gifts anymore.

I love the bags. However, I do both as well because your right some gifts just do not fit in bags. :)

I do a combination depending on the size or number of presents. If I'm doing a few small gifts I usually put them all together in a bag. If I have a hard to wrap item I will put it in a bag. But other presents I wrap.
