I love all the sugestions- it makes my own wrapping look very boring.
What I suggested for my daughters was to wrap presnts for their freinds in squares of pretty fabric - twist and tie with gold cord.
It looked very expensive and was easy to do .

I don't know if you've bought all these bits yet, but Boots have got 3 for 2 on their natural collection stuff - lots of lip glosses, body sprays, nail files etc

You're probably dead organised & have done all your shopping already, unlike me, who only made a start on Sunday! (did quite a lot though - went for the "short sharp shock" rather than dragging it out)

You could make some DIY xmas crackers to put pressies inside - get inside of loo roll, pop the little pressie inside there, then wrap the loo roll inner with a square of paper/fabric/ tissue paper and tie the ends with a bit of string/ribbon.

Good way to use up any fabric or paper remnants.

These might actually make nice tree decorations as well.

Thought someone was offering to wrap my presents. ;D

However, there are some great tips on how to wrap them. Perfect!

If your daughters after lots of littles pressies, I found some great ones today in Instore (think its really Poundstretcher). Lip glosses, gel pens and other stationery bits, ooh and some lovely battery operated fairy lights and nothing over £3!

160 - I did a 'pass the parcel' for my son when he was about 10 as he had a lot of little presents. Wrapped up smallest then added a present and wrapped that etc. Was a huge parcel in the end and he was thrilled when he realised it wasn't just one present. He got a surpise every layer and of course it meant no fiddly wrapping.
