Gift Wrapping Advice


If, during a bout of mastitis accompanied by a 102 fever, you decide to wrap some Christmas gifts in between pumping sessions, do NOT say to yourself, "I'm too tired to go upstairs and get the gift tags...I'll just put them on the wrapped gifts tomorrow."

Very, very bad idea. Maybe we should play white elephant this Christmas.

Mastitis is never fun especially at Christmas. I could see myself making the same decision and wondering why my husband didn't understand that, of course, I would be able to tell the gifts apart in the morning.

At least you can blame the mastitis. I delay the tagging almost every year out of sheer procrastination, with the expected result (why did I think a box 1cm larger than another would be so easily distinguishable a week later?) and never learn my lesson. Maybe, just maybe, this year will be better.

LOL! I barely ever even have tags, so I write everyone's names on the bottom of the package. How tacky. :)!! Hey, 'tis the season for wrapping! :)

Ugh, I am probably the world's worst wrapper, ET is much better at this than I am!

TM, you may have some issues on Christmas morning if Jack-Jack opens Dash's gift and then doesn't want to give it up, or vice versa :) Nothing like a little lesson in sharing to liven up anyone's Christmas morning celebration...Let us know how it goes ;)

shake, guess, and if necessary re-wrap ;-(

I always do this. This year, for the first time, I used a Sharpie and just wrote in big letters who the gift was for.
