......he was just interested in tearing it apart to get to the present. What a green saving!!!

correction pewawnt should say present

When I were a lad....presents were in a big cardboard box, then in a medium sized box, and finally in a small box wrapped in newspaper all tied with hay bale twine.
Great savings Happy, compostable too..

We always use old magazines to wrap presents at home. It's more fun and an opportunity to be a bit creative, sometimes a clue is hidden in the wrapping paper which the kids seem to enjoy.

Curious about childhood presents, very strong images with me of a Meccano set, and brothers also building things, cranes and motor cars and of course not enough screws and nuts and bits to go round.
"it says you can get bigger ones, Dad" ,and realising now that Dad could only just afford the one we got.
