Aw the tags are so cute though. This year we got old fashion string ones. Should be fun.

I talk with my wife (I gotta get her to post here) she reminded me that she only use SILK ribbons (with wires in them) those cost more and thick wrapping paper... She does not use those cheap wrapping thin paper that almost tear (dollar store and stuff)
Trust me, those ribbon cost. Also we seem to keep buying scissors each year (good one like material scissors)
She also wraps stocking stuffers.... yea... she does that.

You know, I kinda like that too. When I was a kid and saw movies where other kids had presents placed in prefect little brown boxes with a simple red ribbon around it, I thought it was so charming.

I totally am pissed if stocking stuff isn't wrapped.......I wrap everything and in pretty decorated usually cartoon like paper...I enjoy peanuts paper or sometimes even spongebob ! Yep I'm a big baby and I'm proud of it lol !~
I once wrapped the Monty Python Flying Circus complete collection pack in tinfoil, with a paper napkin inside and next to a little carton of chocolate milk. Nobody expected that, even though I'm probably the only one to find this funny.
Otherwise, as I usually get everybody dvds, I usually use envelopes to wrap the presents. My sister finds it pretty weird that the presents form my letter to santa (and the 3 wise men) always come wrapped in this weird way, but she actually likes that hers usually have nice stickers on and inside them.

In my defense I have used the same roll of wrapping paper for over 8 years and it will most likely last another 10 before I finish it and the smaller rolls I buy only one of those a year. ( need the mix in the colors under the tree.
It is true that I do use the more expensive ribbon for the presents which is about 5$ a roll but I do not use the full roll each year and use it for other items as well.
The scissors... I can only say they are good at running away. Whenever I need a pair of fabric scissors there is none to be found which causes me to have to buy a new pair.
Presents should be wrapped it gives the person the fun of opening the surprise. I do tend to go overboard but I did spend a few years wrapping things proffesionally so sub standard wrapping will not do for me. ;P

In my family presents from our parents and relatives came wrapped, and went under the Christmas tree. (Except for our Christmas Eve present of pajamas, which usually weren't wapped.) Presents from Santa Claus were never wrapped, but we did have totally awesome stockings that my mom made for us out of felt. Each had our name on them, and then two different classic toys and a wrapped present. I'm going to make the same for my kids (if I ever have any) and I hope I can do as good a job as my mom.
