Do you use different wrapping paper for Santa's gifts and ones from yourselves to the children?

I ask as a mum friend of mine, wraps all gifts in 1 paper as she cannot be 'bothered' to buy multiple colours/designs. Her children never question the gifts and who they are from.

My children, ask who each gift is from so that they can write thankyou's. They would also wonder what I had bought them so I wrap a small gift up in another paper.

I always use different paper for father Xmas prezzes & prezzes from me:)

Me too. Sometimes I end up buying several different sheets of wrapping paper as godparents who live abroad send money and ask me to buy the presents. All are wrapped with different paper.

Slightly off topic, so apologies for that, but is it too early to write Christmas cards? We're expecting in January, and I was made redundant just after we found out, so I have some time at the minute, but worry about writing too early in a superstitious kind of way.

Never too early to write them.

Sending them now is a bit early though

The rolls are 70cm tall and have 1.5m of paper on each one - not exactly a bargain at £4 for 6m of moderate quality paper, a few bows and some ribbon!

At that length makes me wonder why they call it a roll and not a sheet of wrapping paper! lol

All our presents are from Santa..... that man gets all the credit in our house

We just buy a mixture of kid wrapping paper and wrap the lot in different types.

I did buy the "adult" wrapping paper from Debenhams last year (sale buy) it was ok quality but I would never have paid full price for it.

Our children's presents from Santa are in a different paper to the ones from us.
And it's def not too early to write your cards, especially if you're expecting, Mazzarati2000. Our little girl was due early Dec so I knew I wouldn't have time that year so all cards were written and presents wrapped by end of nov that year

i always wrapped santas gifts in different paper, usually featuring santa or rudolph on the paper so it was easier to remember that was the 'special paper' i to have an inquisitive daughter, however it's no longer a concern at her age so now i have plenty of santa themed paper to finish using, hope the adults don't mind too much :rotfl:

In our house santa uses different paper to us too, he also uses a different paper for each child, as with 4 piles to lay out it makes Christmas eve much simpler:). I always buy Costco wrap, not sure on the price per meter but its always fantastic quality and the rolls seem to last forever.
