Some people prefer wrapping all at once, but I have found this year that wrapping as we buy has made it a little easier. Besides, the kids get a real kick out of seeing presents under the tree (and shaking them to try and figure out what they are!).

Start wrapping a few presents each day so you aren't doing it all on Christmas Eve. After all, you deserve a little time out too!
I have a pretty decent stash of Christmas wrapping paper, gift tags, ribbons and gift bags (whenever I am gifted a nice ribbon or gift bag that can be salvaged, I reuse them.. Yep, it may seem stingy but those things can be expensive). I keep all of them together in this Christmas wrapping paper organiser, and it doubles as a portable wrapping station. You know what? Even if you don’t have a stash and you desperately want to stay away from the shops, you can utilise what you do have.

Tissue papers. Generic gift wrap that doesn’t specify Christmas or Birthday. Butchers paper and twine is all the rage right now (my Nan would be so proud! Although, I don’t think people are also layering tissue paper, newspaper and plastic bags to protect packages in the post like Nan does – no! I am not kidding!!)
There is nothing grandparents would love more than their own personally decorated gift wrap. Go to Kmart and buy a ginormous roll of butchers paper and let the kids go mental. It is a nice gesture, and it means NO ONE else will have the same wrapping paper as you!
Obviously any presents that need to be hidden, do so, but the ones that you have wrapped can be displayed proudly under the Christmas tree which seriously adds to the Christmas spirit and keeps your cupboards clear of presents just waiting to be discovered by prying eyes. It also means you don’t need a tree skirt! Now, that’s what I call two for one.
Do you prefer to wrap all of your presents at once or do you wrap as you buy?
