Do you put bows on all your wrapped present?
I always add tags and bows to my gifts.
Do you?

I put those sticky tags on, but never bows. I don't know why. They just seem a waste to me. They get ripped off and thrown away, so why bother?

Before we had children I would do the whole bow and ribbon thing. Now since gifts are not put under the tree until Christmas Eve I skip the ribbon. I do add bows as I am putting them under the tree. I save the bows from year to year, so I rarely have to buy new ones. I tag the gifts as I wrap them.

We put a bow on every present. I grab them up as each present is opened, save them and reuse them the next year. We are going on year # 6 with our current bows.

Just tags here...at least for my family's. I couldn't believe the price of bows, so I skipped them and have year after year. We used to save them when I was growing up, and I usually save other people's on their gifts to us.

No bows on ours, the cats just love bows
We do put bows on presents for other people though, I just have to wait til the last minute so the cats don't get into them.

No bows here. I am doing good to get the name tags, paper and tape on the presents.
I HATE TO WRAP PRESENTS! I really should not wait until the last minute to do it either.Hello from Sunny Central Florida

Gotta have bows. I save them if they still look good.
