    Mine are all done - I wrapped as I went! Only have OH's free Becks glass to wrap and whatever else I buy him (officially rugby shirt and £75 cash in a nice money wallet ;)) but UNOFFICIALLY depending on what I find in the sales on Xmas Eve it may also include a watch and a new mobile phone!!!!!!!!

    Lol ooh aye a wee bitta last minute bargain grabbing? :P
  • Wrapping's great fun, especially when using wrap bought in the January sales for 10p a roll.:j(6 metres)
  • I'm starting mine today! Hoping to do one set today and still have a big pile left for Christmas eve! Nothing better than wine and wrapping on Christmas Eve with a Christmas movie on!
    Will definitely take me ages though, I wrap every tiny, ridiculous thing individually!
    And don't worry OP, guys presents always look like that, think I'd be a bit worried if I had a boyfriend that wrapped better than me....or jealous anyway!!

    Am I the only one who cant leave present under the tree because the dog will eat them? I used to love seeing a huge pile of presents sitting under the tree looking pretty but unfortunately as soon as I get the xmas wrap out my dog starts nosing about to see what I'm doing and as soon as they're done he tries to steal them from the table. If I left them out whilst I wasnt there :eek:
    I'm pretty much done btw, I just have DH's brother in law/wife (his sisters ex & his wife) and my brother in law (my sisters DH) to buy for. Everything else is wrapped, including my present to myself. Is it sad I buy (and wrap) myself a present too? :rotfl:

  • I wrapped my movie hampers for family last night, took ages! It didn't help that I couldn't find a couple of things I'd bought for them, buried in the back of a cupboard. Was only 4 small hampers but just took a while wrestling with the cellophane!!

    Am going to start wrapping the main stuff tonight and do a wee bit every night once the kids have gone to bed. I don't put any presents out til after midnight on Xmas eve. Usually I wrap everything for the kids and DH once the kids have gone to bed on Xmas eve which ends up in me being a grumpy so and so throughout Xmas day as I've had hardly any sleep. As I have a temp Xmas job this year there's no way I'm staying up all night to wrap so I'll do it over this week. I might enjoy Xmas better if I get some kip for a change!

    happy wrapping everyone!
  • I have wrapped all the family presents so far, still got my nannas hamper to do (once i get some her some carrot cake that doesnt expire before christmas day lol)
    i still have the kids to do, but I like to leave some for christmas week, makes me feel festive lol
