Are you wrapping gifts?

If you don't have other children other than this LO, are you actually wrapping gifts for him/her just to unwrap it yourself? Thought this was a cute topic, my sister says I should. I'm thinking there isn't much of a point as she still isn't quite grabby for everything yet, only her one toy that she loves and blankets if she's trying to eat them.

Re: Are you wrapping gifts?

  • I have a step daughter so I will be wrapping but even if I didn't I probably still would because I think its cute. This is coming from the girl that wraps her dogs presents though haha!

    Yes!!

    ETA: We're only getting him one thing. If it was a bunch of stuff, we might not. Seems silly to waste a lot of wrapping paper. But since it's just one thing, we want the pictures. :)

  • Absolutely!! They aren't real Christmas presents if they aren't wrapped under the tree!! ;-) plus my husband and I will be the ones unwrapping them, so that's exciting for us!! Haha!
  • I did because I wanted to take pictures under the tree and of us helping him unwrap them.

  • Picture purpose is a good idea to wrap, but I figure there's gonna be sooo many gifts from everyone for pictures that our 2 gifts won't make a huge difference. I will definitely be taking photos of her under the tree with all the other gifts though, she won't know the difference :)
  • I think we are just going to fill his stocking.

  • Yes I am wrapping them for the sake of pictures for my scrapbook. Oh and the dogs gifts are wrapped too :) I just hope they don't smell the treats and tear into them early!

  • No, but we aren't buying her presents this year. For picture sake she we can use one of our presents or wait until we get together with family when she will get tons there.

  • We got one gift and wrapped it- more for sentimental reasons and pictures, really. We weren't planning on getting him anything but I just couldn't help it.

  • I think I will wrap a few not all. Just going to wrap them for pictures or else I wouldn't waste my time or paper as I just don't see the point otherwise. Wrapping all would be too much work!!
  • I wasn't going to..but maybe I will for pictures! I only bought her like 3 things.
  • We put all her gifts in one large box and wrapped it.
  • Oh that's a good idea just wrapping one big box, and would look cute for pictures too :)
  • I already have about 10 gifts under the tree totally pretty and wrapped!! I'm even wrapping ones from family that have come in the mail,
  • I wrapped everything just so it could look pretty under the tree. But my husband never wraps gifts he gets for me. He just hides them and brigs them out Christmas morning.

  • Not wrapping, but didn't buy either. I buy things for him constantly when he needs them, so he'll just be getting family gifts this year.
  • Um, I did not buy my three month old any gifts. Should I feel bad about that? I mean, there is certainly nothing in this world that she needs but does not have.

  • Definitely wrapping her gifts
  • Yes we are....I don't see the purpose of giving Christmas gifts if they are not wrapped!
    <Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker>
  • Yes and I didn't tell my husband what I got her so he will be opening them and she can get excited about his reactions even though she could care less about the presents :)

    Like @staebells and @thedash we didn't get her anything. I have an Amazon wish list set up for her because people were asking, but we didn't get her anything.

    Edit: Wait, I did order her a personalized book with her name, but that's it. We will get her whatever she needs if other people don't get it. It's stuff like a nose frida and a Sophie Giraffe.

    We would have wrapped presents if we got any. Book hasn't been delivered yet.

  • All of the gifts for each other and the older kids are wrapped.

    We only wrapped two of Alexis' gifts and put some bows on the others. She won't remember and obviously won't be unwrapping anything.
