Do u wrap ur kids Christmas gifts?

Stuff in Stockings, yes.

The gifts from me, yes, regardless of the size of the gift.

The big gift from Santa, no. Santa sets it up and it's open and ready to play.

Christmas Gifts For 1 Year Old

I wrap everything. I make sure Santa has 'different' paper than what we have.

Santa brings one present in our house, and the stocking. My son gets a musical instrument. (last year was a drum, this year is a glockenspiel), my daughter gets a musical snowglobe (this will be her 5th since she was born in November...) The items in the stockings sometimes are wrapped, often aren't. Always there is an orange and nuts, traditional items in my family (out in the west in the US, oranges were one of the few fruits you could get in the winter, and were hard to get. Getting some at Christmas was often one of the only times of the year you got an orange, and it became very important to get an orange every year. There are many stories of oranges being the ONLY thing in the stocking, and how grateful the children were.) My husband brings the tradition of a toothbrush in the stocking (I have NO clue... it's the only traditional stocking thing he got.) Most of what I try to put in there are things like home-made or old-fashioned candy sticks, harmonicas, penny-whistles, slide-whistles, those musical candy whistles, some chocolate, maybe maple sugar candy if they're lucky, some rice-candy, etc.

Everything else is from us, or from my family or someone.

The result is that my daughter this year asked Santa for... a bell. Really. o_O Last year she asked for candy. :P She figures it has to fit in the stocking, the big present will always be a lovely snowglobe (and she LOVES those, at least so far.) When Santa asked what her brother wanted she said "A Christmas Tree" which is a bit more problematic. I'm thinking Santa will give them chocolate Christmas trees, or maybe a toy one with a note saying her brother doesn't need a full-sized one. I know what she wants too, the replantable living trees that she saw at Lowes, but we have no place we can plant one where it would survive.

Toddlers that age love colors, and tearing things up! I would definitely use some wrapping paper. It will be cute watching them open them too.

I have been putting from mom and dad, on the tags. But that is because my oldest is a little less than 2 1/2 years old. So he doesn't really care or know either way - it's more for me right now until he is a little older.

I have a 3 month old, and it will be his first Christmas, but I am still wrapping his gifts. If not, I think my two year old would go crazy with them lol :)

Good luck, happy holidays!

We wrap our gifts, the gifts we buy the kids. Santa on the other hand leaves unwrapped gifts in and next to their stockings. Santa brings the best gifts. Always the big main gift comes from Santa and is unwrapped!

It would be impossible to get the same wrapping paper in Texas that Santa has at the North Pole!

I wrap stocking gifts. We only give one big gift from Santa, so any other gift they get is from us or their grandparents or siblings. If the gift is a big one, like a bike, it doesn't get wrapped, but gets a bow and a tag.

We started doing this new thing to limit the gifts because things were getting excessive (thereby, expensive). So this year we are doing "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read" from us and then they'll get one little gift from Santa in their stockings (watches this year) and one other gift from Santa (this year it's season passes to some local theme parks--a bundle of passes that we bought at a good deal). They also unwrap an ornament on Christmas Eve (usually one from us, one from my parents and one from my husband's parents). Funny thing that both of us had the same Christmas tradition--unwrapping an ornament on Christmas Eve and that both our parents extended it to the grandkids, so now we each have SO MANY ornaments we're going to have to start alternating whose ornaments go up on the tree soon!

That is how we do it. Keeps it a little simpler with less explanation.

I always wrap. Mostly because i like wrapping presents. But also because every kid i've known loves tearing into the wrapped present.

As for Santa vs parent tagging... I get 2 "Santa gifts": 1 toy and then a new ornament for my son's collection (to take when he eventually moves out). Both of those have a "From Santa" tag. The rest are from mom and dad.

Yes I wrap everything. I think part of the fun of presents is the unwrapping. If you see right away what you get, some of the excitement dies off, I think. I cant imagine giving unwrapped presents.

I dont put who they are from, they seem to think that santa brings them all, even with my many attempts to try to gently set things straight. Ive done everything but to flat out say theres no santa, I buy these but they seem not want to hear any of it... Lol

When I was a kid (and I still do) I love ripping the wrapping apart in wonder and excitement of what it's going to be, actually I would say 65% of the excitement of Christmas presents would be because of the wrapping, because it keeps them saying to themselves "Have I got it, have I got it, Have I got it Have I got it, actually that could be it there, oh I hope it is", also you put from Santa, and kids that age won't care about why Mum or Dad didn't give them stuff.

BUT DEFIANTLY WRAP THE PRESENTS

Of course I wrap all the gifts, unwrapping all the gifts is the fun part. My kids are 10, so Santa is slowing fading. Usually they get a couple gifts from me and a couple from santa, and that's indicated on the gift tag.

Kids love unwrapping presents, especially the little ones. Mostly the younger ones just play with the wrapping paper! My hubbie and I wrap them together. And we don't put any "from ____" because some of our kids believe while others do not. And they've never actually questioned it.
