One year we had Christmas at our house so everyone coming here just shipped there unwrapped gifts to my wife to wrap and put under the tree for the exchange. The reason was so they wouldn't have to carry over a bunch of gifts. She wrapped like 100 gifts. THAT WAS THE Last year we had Christmas at our house. My wife takes the time to wrap our gifts to other people and she thought that was lame. The cost of the wrapping paper alone broke our budget that year and we were hosting so had the food budget also. The biggest culprit still sends our gifts to us unwrapped and expects my wife to wrap her own gift along with ours and put it under the tree. Well, since no one is here my wife decided to just stick it under the tree as sent and she is already using her present for this year, what is the fun in knowing what you got this early and putting it under the tree.
@Zephard: That's ridiculous that they expect that! I could only imagine not only the price of that, but the hours she put into wrapping! Not cool of them to expect that at all. And how tacky to send a gift not wrapped. I don't blame her for sticking it under the tree as is. No one should have to wrap their own gifts. That's one thing my mom & I are both good about. I make sure she never wraps her own & she makes sure I never wrap mine. When she can't wrap mine, DH does. His wonky wrap jobs are my fav. 4951
