Xmas Prezzies
Help
do u wrap them or just throw in a christmas bag and cover with tissue paper ? im thinking of doing the latter this year as my fibro getting worse and bending over and kneeling up will cause me lots of pain .. i detest it x any suggestions xx
What I do is buy. a Santa sack and put my gifts in there. I all so buy these gift bags. And I all so tell people that there gift is not wrapped. And that's why they are in the gift bags. Or sack. . And they happy with that. Hope this has helped you.
nicolajaynehend bless ya it awfu my mum fot rehumatoid n shes awful with it shes had to have toes amputated as they crossed another one so she couldnt wear shoes .. so they only thing they could do because she had already had pinned and her ankle replaced but it went again so they actually fused her ankle so she cant move her ankle anyway at all xx
I've all so got rheumatoid. I 've got all 3 arthritis. That is so sad to hear about your mother. My heart go's out her. I know what she going throw.
it all depends . my mums I wrap them all up as till we children came along she never had presnts . otherwise I buy the tescos cavans backs that they have at Christmas for 50p or a pound and put the presnts in them the person gets the pressie and a shopping bag . the kids in the famliy I wrap . but like yourself I surfer with fibro so I now how you feel . my sis is ott as she will re wrap over said present to match her colour
scheme .
I wrap mine and then put them in a gift bag. This is because we always go to meet family to exchange presents so it is easier for all of us to carry them but means when we get home we can divide them up. We tend to buy giftcards in our family at Christmas, so they just go in an envelope, nice and easy. I wrap presents because my mum always used to wrap them, now though because her arthritus is getting worse, she just puts them in a gift bag with some tissue paper on top and sellotapes the top up so you can't see inside.
I pack the presents before. It is good because my daughter checks everything and in case she see it is wrapped, so she will not know what is inside of the present.
I think it is nothing to do with age, just a lot of paper waste and there should be something better.
I got the Christmas wrapping papers on Jan sale and got some paper boxes too, now just need to buy presents.
I like to wrap gifts so nobody can sneak a peak! I used to do all the ribbons and bows but that's so frustrating i just wrap and put a name tag on now. Some people wrap gifts and they look like works of art. I love speed wrappers too like this one -
I wrap them and put them in gift bags. Presents end up under my parent's xmas tree in advance and their cat will unwrap them otherwise before xmas day hence the gift bags. That's where my family always ends on xmas day so once they put their tree up, I start taking presents over.
Oh wow you're so organised I've only bought 3 things for my eldest so far, I need to speed up my Xmas shopping lol. I usually wrap the childrens ones but adults just go in a bag x
My wrapping skills are not the best, much to the amusement of others It's the thought (and the gift) that counts
ACR mines looks like the dogs been playing with it for about 3 weeks lmao x but as u say its the thought n meaning of the gifts cc ... think next year everyone getting vouchers ... no wrapping just throw in the giftcards x
jojowane67 I like getting gift cards, as you are able to buy the things you really want or have a fun day out.
