| This is the fist year I've done an actual stocking, Thomas is understanding a lot this year so I think it will be nice for him. I've only got smallish stockings so got loads of little bits and bobs to go in.
Just wondering - do I wrap each little bit individually and stick it in so they've got more opening to do OR is the stocking the actual wrapping and just pop all the little bits in to dig out? We never had stockings as kids so not sure what the etiquette is - what do you do?

| I'll wrap some and leave some unwrapped ... like Grace says things like the little nets of coins wont get wrapped and neither would a piece of fruit .. but somehting like the wooden russian dolls I have taken out of the shop packaging and stacked inside each other and that will be wrapped Izzy LOVES yanking paper off parcels .. as you can imagine she isn't very good at playing pass the parcel ![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

| I dont wrap ANYTHING!!! Santa doesnt have time to wrap presents All Caitlins big/medium presents are left piled/displayed lol on sofa and stocking draped on arm of it filled with small things. Last year I even took a few things out of the boxes so she could play with them straight away and I didnt have all those fiddly ties to deal with on xmas morning! My mum never wrapped my Santa presents & I never questioned it growing up. Its only now I realise its more common to wrap. But honestly why bother? All that hassle, expense, waste of paper. I/Caitlin still got excited seeing all the toys laid out. You can display things to cover up things & you get so distracted looking at one thing you dont notice another toy for a min or 2.... She gets to unwrap loads of gifts from friends and family throughout the day so doesnt totally miss out on unwrapping things. I wouldnt have it any other way! |
