Wrap all at once or as you go?

[Sumacaroni]

I am notoriously late on wrapping gifts and have been known to wrap all at once on Christmas Eve morning. Bah!!

Do you wrap as you go? Or are you like the Infamous Sumac who has no tape or can't get it together and just get going!? LOL

I am committed to doing it differently this year so here I go! I have wrap and need to pick up some tape. Many gifts are already socked away so.... I guess it's time to start wrapping!!

I do it all at once mostly because it is messy. I try to have it all done before the kids are done with school for winter break. If wrapping as you go works for you though I'd go for it.

I wrap all at the same time, that way I only have to drag the stuff out once.

I usually do it all at once but I am thinking next year I will wrap it as I go. I hated not having a use able trunk all year because I had them hiding out in there.

Up until last year I did it all in one shot. Last year I ordered most everything offline and when they came in I wrapped. It was much easier that way. (at least for me)

I get a huge roll of wrapping paper, scotch tape and labels and keep them in my closet. I don't have to drag alot out that way.

This simplifies wrapping to me.

i usually buy gifts so close to christmas that I end up wrapping them all at once. I hope to wrap as I go this year but have yet to buy any gifts.

I am very, very particular about wrapping gifts and I spend a lot of time on each one. Plus, I typically have around 50 gifts to wrap. If I were to sit and do them all at once it would take me several hours. I normally do two or three at a time over a three or four week period.

I hate to wrap presents, therefore I do it as they are bought.

Wrap as you go...all the gift are done here(I buy stuff on sale throught the year)and under the tree. In november I started wrapping and did 4 a week.

I love wrapping presents so I do them as they come because I get so excited. I also like having presents under the tree so I don't like to wait!

I open a bottle of wine, put on some music, plunk down in front of the tree and do them all at once.

I wrap as I go. That way they can go under the tree and are out of my way!!!!

For years I have taken all mine to my mom's house, we crank up the Christmas music and wrap all of ours together. I bring down boxes, bubble wrap, wrapping paper, ribbons, tape, the name cards, we have a really good time of it. Mom makes hot chocolate and usually has snacks as well. We have a big "wrapping party" just the two of us.

I smuggle them back to the house, hiding them until Christmas morning. Christmas morning they are all under the tree.

I will miss that when I move away but I'm sure I'll at least call her and say "hey, doing your wrapping this weekend?" We are both Verizon so we could talk the entire time if we wanted to, while wrapping. She'd probably get a kick out of that.

I open a bottle of wine, put on some music,

I do the 'wine part' too...........then put them all in bags.....then
finish the wine and call it good!!

I HATE WRAPPING! That is what pretty bags and tissue were made for.......ME!!

I guess I have procrastinated in the past because I wasn't sure I was done shopping or that I might change my mind and want to return or exchange??? And another reason I like to wait to wrap until I am done shopping is because I am so sure I would forget what was in each of them and then worry I hadn't enough and buy more out of guilt?!? I am keeping a good list this year, though, and I feel like I can wrap and keep it somewhat guilt-free because I am sticking to my budget!!
