Being a relatively new father (my little boy is only 15 months old) I was wondering whether you wrap presents or have them opened and ready to play with ?

As a child I had mine opened and ready to play. Although the Mrs said she always had hers wrapped stating its more fun watching them open their presents and spending time with them building up the toys.
We compromised and went half way, they are wrapped but built up, (batteries fitted where need be and the wire things that you get in boxes have been removed)

For the sanity of PH and the rest of the UK that's probably a good thing Charlie.

Always wrap.

Taking the wire things off and putting batteries in is however going above and beyond.

In my experience babies are often as interested in the box or paper as they are in the present. SO wrap.

Go and buy him a copy of Razzle at the petrol station. That'll get him to go to bed.
