Gift bags are easier for the 'wrapping challenged'. I am not one of those but I think it's a nice change.

When I was a kid, long long ago ..... I would wrap gifts with my Mom who used to wrap gifts for Marshall Fields so I learned a lot of great stuff.

Most of them are in gift bags but some under the Christmas tree are wrapped so some curious eyes cannot peek.

Very few... but I have no clue.... gifts are still all sitting under the tree and haven't had a chance to think about it. As for the gifts I give, I only use bags for things that can't fit into a box. I wrap and decorate with great bows.

The ladies in my family prefer wrapping. The young ones are taught to wrap even if the corners aren’t perfect – like when I wrap.

We use gift bags, boxes that are already decorated, and little boxes for gift cards that already have nice decorations on them. Very little gift wrap.

I gave only two gifts in bags.  I receieved only 3 in bags.  I gave about 50 that were wrapped.  My grandson got such joy of unwrapping this year (he's 20 months old) and I enjoyed watching him.

Hi Will- I like to use gift bags when possible because it's a lot easier and you can reuse the bags!  Some gifts, however, just won't work for a gift bag!
