Do you wrap gifts on christmas eve or before - Canadian Freebie Forum ~Canada's top free sample, coupons, & contests forum

sherbear · 11-25-2007, 03:01 PM

I have started wrapping early I found leaving it till christmas eve was to risky. My kids seem to hear every sound on christmas eve and will come down stairs. It kinda feels like you are getting caught by your parents making out. I cant stand that feeling.

I wrap about a week or two before, and sometimes as soon as I buy things... I have snoops in the house lol

kclou · 11-25-2007, 03:32 PM

Well,... it depends how busy or preoccupied I am! But this year I am waiting for a few more goodies to come by mail. this way I can wrap one big gift! Seriously, I do want to have it all done by the 24th b/c we go to church and open gifts and the in-laws later that night. It's a french tradition. Other gifts we open on the 25th.

i wrap as soon as i buy it and get it home...that way no one can accidentally find it in a bag sitting in the back of my closet

liljj07 · 11-25-2007, 06:15 PM

on unless they wrap it for you

cheetah · 11-25-2007, 10:03 PM

I find that if I wrap too early I tend to forget what I have already bought for everyone. I like to see what I have and make sure everyone is getting enough. Usually wrap thing up a couple of days before X-mas and then do the Kids on Christmas Eve and the stockings too.

liljj07 · 11-25-2007, 10:07 PM

^ cheetah Didn't you say you only had one kid?

jk know what ya mean

cheetah · 11-26-2007, 12:47 AM

I actually have two, but you are the only one that still snoops for her gifts. LOL-Happy hunting-NOT.

Destiny · 11-26-2007, 02:38 AM

I have always wraped on Christmas eve... that way I can make sure I know what everything is in my half awake state @ 5am the next morning, and of course you have to make sure they get the same number of presents and the aprox. same value spent on each kid...lol

twutterfly · 11-27-2007, 12:26 PM

I usually wrap the gifts once I am done each person. That way I know what I got for them. That way when I look and see a name on the tag, I know that I have finished my shopping for that person. And if I forget what I got them, I have a surprise as well when they open them!!

sandib · 11-27-2007, 04:09 PM

i have been wrapping everyday for the last 4 days and am almost done until i shop again

Veronica · 11-27-2007, 04:22 PM

I avoid wrapping all together, and just let the mall do it. They got free gift wrapping for a reason. :P

awaite · 11-27-2007, 07:13 PM

I do wrapping all of December because if I do it too early i forget what's in the box and sometimes certain presents have to be opened first! My kids presents have been in their reach for weeks and they haven't gone anywhere near them lol I can't believe it ! They're not too snoopy yet

arayasunshine20 · 11-30-2007, 12:48 AM

I wrap them as soon as i get them (or at least as soon as I remember to get wrapping paper)
