Did my second Sunday morning wrap session! Set a timer and just did what I could - got two presents wrapped and 5 or 6 stocking stuffers done too. Better than nothing!
Wrapping Party 2018
- Thread starter sweetpumkinpye
- Start date
Finished wrapping the sstuffers yesterday... and there is space left in the stocking. will have to find 1 or 2 more items.
Yes! and I think I'll go get some hot sauce for ds or bbq rub and for dd some special mustard or something in that order - got a place not far from work
I find that mustards and sauces are a great filler. DH likes all sorts of sauces and chutneys. A great idea.
I'm in a similar situation. If I can buy some gifts before Thanksgiving, then I will. Stocking stuffers are good things for me to work on now. I like to wrap as I buy when possible.
Last year, my in-laws asked me for gift ideas and I offered to do the shopping b/c I knew I could get some great prices. They gave me a set price and I worked with in the budget. They loved that idea. It worked out so nicely for all of us. I'll offer to do that again.
Today I will go to my mums and we will wrap the stocking fillers and pack the stockings (sacks for us). Gives us plenty of time to add more if needed.
Did another Sunday morning wrapping session - worked for about an hour again and got quite a few stocking stuffers wrapped. It's not a ton of progress but it is all going to add up!
We have all the stocking wrapped. We did 14 stockings so took a while. I have a list for a few extra things needed and will get those over the next few weeks.
Glad to have that done.
AJ, glad that the Sunday sessions are working for you.

Did another Sunday morning session - DH had taken DS out for a while so I wrapped presents for the little buy without having to worry he would spot me! Got several large things wrapped and a handful of small things - then all hidden in large black trash bag and tucked away in storage area.
Next weekend I plan to put all gifts in proper boxes and Christmas bags and see what is missing
Another Sunday wrap session completed! Only wrapped 5 gifts but I'll take it! Every one done now is one less to stress over!
A reminder that there is another wrapping party scheduled for this Thursday 25th October. 2 months until Christmas !!!!!!!
I like the challenge of wrapping as many gifts in a short time while the kids are gone and then getting the wrapping, etc put away and hiding gifts before anyone gets back home. It sounds crazy but it's all part of that Christmas magic that I love.
Mary, I like a challenge.
When the kids were little I would speed wrap. I have more time now that they are out of the house for work etc.

I didn't get to wrap like I thought I would. However, I have put it on the calendar for Monday so something will get wrapped, even if it is one stocking stuffer.
