Who has their stocking presents wrapped? This seems very odd to me but seems to be the norm among people at work.

I thought the whole point of them was that you had little 'odds & sods' you could quickly get to, rather than unwrap.

So did I, my wife's youngest sister has decided this year to give her children pillowcases rather than the traditional stockings in our family. Very bad form.

I've done one for Mrs autoholic and have wrapped some but left most unwrapped.

Not giving the misses a stocking this year, All her gifts are wrapped up in a great big box, little things in tissue paper and big things in proper wrapping paper, Box is under the tree and doing her nut in as we speak.

She said she is making sure stockings are sorted for me at Christmas, Not wanting to get my hopes up but hopefully its more interesting that a Clementine this year.

I've wrapped his, but only to stop him peeking at them!

He's had his main one already, so they are just little jokey pressies and it would spoil them if they were unwrapped.

I wrap the kids stocking pressies up but only because they enjoy the unwrapping almost more than the gifts (age 2 and 3)

Yep - all the little pressies in Mrs V8's 'stocking' are wrapped. Makes opening them more fun and more of a surprise.


Well, they will be by the time she gets them.

I've wrapped all my presents up this year.
I said to the GF i was happy to buy gift bags otherwise she'd get them wrapped in bags & selllotaped up, but she said that as she was wrapping all my presents that i had to wrap hers.
So i did - even her stocking presents!
I wouldnt usually do it but she's had a few st xmas's so i'm kaing this one special smile
