Christmas hamper for children - question about wrapping

*Louise*

Yes - wrap each individual item in the hamper

For children, I would wrap

For adults, I wouldn't

I'd say wrap them individually for their ages. At 4, they won't get the theme until it's pointed out to them anyways. For little ones, the 'present' is more exciting than the product inside it. A box full of wrapped presents will be so exciting for them!

Yea, that's what I was gonna say.

Kids won't really notice that there's a theme going on anyway - it'd be pretty lost on them, where as an adult would be able to appreciate the thought of getting everything matching, but they would be able to appreciate getting to rip loads of paper off their pressies.

As a compromise, could you wrap maybe the 'bigger' items in tissue paper that will match the theme? And then wrap the whole thing in tissue paper under the cellophane?

I would wrap them all individually as at their age they're more likely to want to unwrap stuff than just look at it.

Yes, I'm still checking. That's a great idea, but we wrapped them last night.

As I won the poll - my mum conceeded and we wrapped each gift individually, and then in cellophane with a big bow.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
