Re: Who else loves to wrap gifts?

Love to wrap! And... I am OCD about it. The tag has to match or coordinate w/the paper. If the gift is for a male, the paper has to be masculine. If it is for a child, it has to be Santa or snowmen or something I think a child would like. Of course, the recipient probably doesn't care - especially the kids - so I guess I'm doing it for myself - lol.

Re: Who else loves to wrap gifts?

I like to wrap but I am not very good at it. lol.

I remember my Nanna wrapping in the 60s and 70s. She used to line up the print on the wrapping paper to match exactly and would not overlap the designs. Not me..lol.

Re: Who else loves to wrap gifts?

I used to love it but my back can hardly take it anymore. I've tried different places to see if one is more comfortable than the other but no such luck.

I hear you. I used to be able to sit on the floor, but no more. I have a long dining room table that works well and if I stand it's even better.

I used to be able to sit in the floor, too, but no more for me either. I'm like you. I sit or stand at my dining room table to wrap now. I always think my wrapping looks good until I see the gifts my sister wraps. Hers are gorgeous.

Nope, I am not a wrapper. I am not creative, and don't have the patience to make it look pretty. I made note of everyone who said above that they like to wrap, and will be dropping my gifts and paper and bows off to you, lol.

Re: Who else loves to wrap gifts?

Yes, I love to wrap presents. Maybe just as much as I love to open them lol. I like having everything look just right and seeing wrapped presents under the tree.
