Help with gift wrapping presents
Hi everyone...I was wondering if anyone wraps gifts here at some local mall or as a funraiser during the holiday season. I have a ton of children's gifts that I need help with. Thanks for the advice on where to go.
Happy Holidays everyone.....Remember HE is the reason for the season and for goodness sakes...GOOD GOLLY BE JOLLY....  |

Swoozies in the Hill Center will wrap outside gifts complimentary if you buy the supplies in their store. Sm. Box $1.95, Med. Box $2.95, Lg. Box $3.95 plus the cost of the roll of paper you buy.

Hire some neighborhood kids. Im serious. When I was younger I used to love to wrap presents. Still do. Just not in mass quantities.  |

There are always gift bags. They come in many sizes and it's easy for the gift to be put back in the bag and transported home.

That's what I do.
Funny, one year I have something large to give to my mother. I didn't have a gift bag big enough to hold whatever it was (I've forgotten), so I put it in a green garbage bag (green=Christmas!) and tied it with a red ribbon. A friend of mine is still teasing me about giving a gift to my mom in a Glad bag. |

alleycat - green garbage bag - good idea. Some things are so large that they can't be wrapped. I'm sure that she loved the gift.
I used to spend hours and hours bent over the dinning room table wrapping and decorating gifts. My back hurt and my mood was not the best. Now, I use gift bags and my back is fine and my mood is that of the season.

Probably not. I think it was the year I gave her one of those bread making machines. My mother makes homemade sourdough bread; giving her a bread making machine was a little like giving a bottle of Gallo red to a wine snob.

Plus if you have a cat in the house, wrapping presents is nearly impossible. ;-) |
