MAKING WRAPPING THOSE CHRISTMAS GIFTS EASY

One of the dilemmas of the season is where to hide the gifts once purchased. Wrapping them a few at a time seems to be the solution for me. With little grandchildren that visit often and now know to snoop, it solves the problem of where to hide the items. Once wrapped and labelled, put in larger Christmas bags for each family group, the secret is safe until Christmas morning! Which brings us to wrapping! There are so many choices now- pay a charity at the Mall that does wrapping, with your  online shopping gifts can be delivered to the recipient gift wrapped, tissue and bagged or wrapping that special gift with the pretty paper, special ribbon and little ornament. A fun thing for children of course is the proverbial candy cane on top instead of the ornament! An easy way is the gift box. I like them for the children's clothes. Put 2 or 3 items in the box with some tissue and a little tape-voila! Too many bags are hard to place under the tree so a few boxes are good for stacking. So how is your shopping and wrapping going?
