Should I wrap the outside or the inside?

Struggling to know what to get my parents this year for Christmas, I decided to get them several items that are relevant to their lifestyles, so they have an ornament of 2 girls -big and little sis cos they had 2 girls, a dvd of a tv programme that I know they'll enjoy, wallet (for dad), car wash kit (dad always washes their cars himself), travel guide for place they are going on hol next year, bags for putting items in when they go away eg electrical items/laundry bg
Anyway yesterday I bought a small laundry hamper with a lid to put these items in, so they can sort of lucky dip into it.
I can't decide whether to wrap all the individual items up and leave the wicker basket unwrapped, or wrap the wicker basket and leave all the goodies unwrapped, or both or neither.
The whicker basket has fake leather handles for carrying and since the contents will be heavy and breakable so I will need to keep the handles exposed.

I think wrapping the small presents is more fun, and just get a huge bow for the hamper!

And then do it.0
