Do you wrap stocking stuffers?

On one hand, I would like to extend the unwrapping, because the kids tear through it so fast. But I don't know if unwrapping small stuff would frustrate them too much.

I am clearly overthinking this.

  • Yes.
    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
  • Haha, I overthink it too.  We don't plan on wrapping any of the big presents from Santa, because a few of them require assembly and batteries, so we'd prefer not to deal with packaging that morning.  And it's nice to come down to just this big toy with a big bow on it.   So I thought I'd wrap the smaller stuff, like books, pajamas and nicer stocking stuffers.  I probably won't wrap the super small stuff like pencils and airplanes.
  • If I'm feeling ambitious yes I do lol  but most of the time I'm not that ambitious!

  • Anything that's present-like I do. So, candy, no. But things like book, movie, little toys, jewelry, hair clips, etc. I would.

    I remember liking having all that stuff to open as a kid.

  • I was thinking about the exact same thing just last night as I started my wrapping. I decided that i'm going to wrap the bigger things - small coloring books, craft paper, crayons/markers, but I probably won't wrap the really small stuff like stickers, plastic junk jewelry, etc.

  • I wrap them in colored tissue paper. It's easier to wrap & unwrap but keeps the fun of opening going.
  • No. I don't wrap anything in the stockings. Other gifts from Santa usually get wrapped. This year each girl has a pretty big gift, so I may or may not buy one of those Christmas bags to try to cover it. We'll see.

  • I wrap everything.  Well, I don't wrap the big items.  We  have those put together so on Christmas morning its fully assembled.  But stocking gifts, yes.
