Wow, this is going to be so helpful to me. I'm marking my calendar. I'm going to print out all the near gift wrapping ideas as well and start me a binder to keep in my gift closet. I love pretty wrapped gifts but lately I wait until the last minute so it's just been generic store bought ribbons, tags and bows. By doing it at our leisure we should be able to come up with some spectacular and appealing gifts.
Yee Haaa this is for me I have my shopping pretty much done.
Think I will use the wrapping parties to innovatory, at the next party plain wrap, then add the trimmings at a later party. then make the tags.

I'm in. 29th it is, I don't have anything to wrap, but may take it as an opportunity to look at stocking stuffers and colleague gifts. Thx Annie x
I always wrap part of our stocking stuffers, so I have that and will put them in the tote with the stockings so easy to find later. Then will add to my master list in my purse, the items I need to supply my wrapping center. Probably will also inventory my Christmas Cards. I think I bought some on sale last year, but can't remember for sure.
I don't wrap.throughout the year b/c my storage options are limited and I use a lot of gift bags and such also.
Drats, I have to work. Will try to do some wrapping even if it is only 1 or 2 things. I have my granddaughters gifts I could wrap. Two is better than none.
I don't have anything yet, but def. hope to start my stocking stuffers throughout the course of this month meaning I can get some wrapping done so. Hope everyone else gets to enjoy 
Woot! Woot! Our first wrapping party is here! Crazy to believe!
Congrats to those that have stuff to wrap.
If you don't have anything, this is also a good day to inventory supplies or even pick out a color scheme of wrapping.
Our goal- To not wrap that week of Christmas.
An even bigger goal- No wrapping on Christmas Eve night!

P.S.- Mark your calendars for the next wrapping party- Saturday, October 6th.

OK I rounded up all my wrapping stuff and organized it,
and I have a complete innovatory of all my gifts,
I just have one more panel on DGD#2's afghan to finish, then I can wrap it.
I should have that done tomorrow at the latest.
I ordered a pogo for DGS. on Amazon.
Will get 2 more next month and the month after.
Will start DGD#1"S Afghan this week.
I already have the yarn, and the boxes to wrap them in.
And I started making Tags yesterday.
And I have a design for my Christmas cards

I picked up another gift so I have something to wrap for our next wrapping party. And now my wrapping paper is stored in the front of the storage area so it's easy to get to this next time. I think I need to see if there are any sales or coupons for scotch tape soon,
Wow, I just realized about the wrapping party. I'll be ready in October. I saw some cute gift card holders @ Dollar Tree today and am going back for more after I register my girls for school. Thanks for coming up with ways to keep us on track.
Kudos to all of you.
I hope to have something to wrap in October. I am really dragging this year. I've got to get moving. October will be here before you know it.

Yup Aggy, I'm the same.
I have some savings, but haven't bought anything. Really want to get all stocking stuffers bought by the end of October as many of my pressies are dvds, cds and computer games, things that some people may buy for themselves.

I haven't started wrapping anything yet, although I do have several ornaments I made packaged up in tissue paper in their gift boxes just waiting to be wrapped.
Put those way up in the back of the top shelf of the gift closet to await their time!
I've been working on making gift tags using up my stash of paper, glitter, etc. Here is a link to what I have made so far:

FYI - I have been seeing a coupon on coupons.com for Scotch Packing Tape - which with a sale might be a better deal than the generic brand. For those of us who ship gifts it is good to make sure we don't run out at the last minute.
Will be watching for Scotch Tape to go on sale as well. I like the kind with purple label - forget the type - but it seems to show up against the wrapping paper much less.
Looking forward to pulling it all together!!!
