if you wrap gifts with paper

and you have clothes for people... do you put the clothes in a box or just wrap the clothes as is?

I usually have boxes that I've kept from previous years, so they'll go in there.  If I don't, then I just wrap as is.

Yea, I have a ton of boxes from years past that I'd love to get rid off (pass on to someone else) but somehow I keep getting them back, or twice as many. 

And it would save me time than having to dig through the large box of boxes in the attic.  Although, 2 years ago we lost a gift certificate for $100 to a really good restaurant--- maybe I can find it in there.

We've been saving shipping boxes for quite awhile, so if we had one that would fit, we'd put it in a box.

I hoard boxes, bags and other gift things.  When holiday season is approaching I start saving shipping boxes too.

That said, I put them in boxes (preferably saved clothing boxes).  If I don't have a box I'll put it in a reused gift bag, if that's not available I'll just wrap it as is.  Sometimes it helps to wrap it in a sheet or two of tissue paper (I save this too).  It helps give it more shape to wrap with paper.

Clothes go in re-used gift boxes or bags.  If I ran out, I'd just wrap them sans box.
