I am a self proclaimed wrapping expert...now my mother in law believes in just switching bags with other gifts and putting a bow on the bag...it's cheaper, less time consuming, and gives us all a good laugh

I wait until just a few days before Christmas, by then my wife has gotten tired of waiting on me and wrapped them herself! All I have to do is wrap hers. Anything that's not a box gets a bag.

Never heard of the gift bags until now. Maybe a couple from the hardware store will work.

Wrapping gifts in my opinion is like changing a diaper. It should be done at least once per child. And I thank God for sisters, moms, wives and daughters.
