#speirgorm I have a question for you that is very important as we get closer to our daughter's first Christmas:

Did Santa wrap your presents??

Nope, that's how we knew they were from him! All the other gifts were wrapped under the tree beforehand, his would appear magically unwrapped overnight 😊

It was the same in my house growing up!

No for us, found they loved the impact of seeing all the toys. Busy enough time and sometimes big toys, so just take it easy on yourself. Others will do the wrapped gifts. Now kids older and once Santa left we started to wrap them and they like that bit of mystery now (and gifts smaller and €€€)

Yeah mine from Santa were always left unwrapped so I got the 'wow' straight away!

Wrapped, always. Even the little stocking filler ones. Santa even wrapped the mandarin oranges at the toe of the stockings.

Santa popped into TKMaxx for chests and cardboard boxes this year. Look great and reusable. When I think of all the wasted hours, in the early hours of the morning….

Wrapping paper ruined our Christmas when Santa’s presents had the same wrapping paper as mum’s! (I was exhausted and under pressure-rookie mistake)
Then, went with big sacks, much easier, less time consuming and overall wow factor!

No. But in fairness my mum barely wrapped non-Santa presents, she hated wrapping and thought it was wasteful!

I get that! We mostly use gift bags and reuse them til they wear out. I don't think Santa does many gift bags tho 😅

No, but out of pure laziness I think. Wrapped is much better

bealiceembroidery.bsky.social•75 days ago

Trying to decide if wrapped is better. Or does it depend on the gift maybe?

robbmccarthy.bsky.social•75 days ago

Depends on the child. If it's a game, wrap it. If it's a bottle of whiskey, a gift bag is completely fine!

Yes Santa presents wrapped, usually in a different wrapping paper than any other non-Santa presents

bealiceembroidery.bsky.social•75 days ago

Oh yes, Santa would have his own wrapping paper for sure

You can get large hessian sacks in places like Homestore & More.
Maybe a tradition of leaving out large sacks to be filled by Santa? Just an idea...

Not wrapped in ours, he has been known to put a christmas throw from the sofa over the bigger items.

bealiceembroidery.bsky.social•75 days ago

Love that! Keep it simple

aoifederoiste.bsky.social•75 days ago

Nooooo! He didn't wrap my daughters Christmas presents either.
