My dad used to wrap presents in newspaper or the paper bags you get at the grocery store. If you sew and have fabric you could wrap them in fabric.

My parents put gifts in trash bags one year.

I was sick a few years back. I piled everything into a mountain in the kitchen and threw a blanket on top. The kids loved it and even mention every now and again

I like Smithy’s idea on Gavin and Stacey where he wraps it using kitchen foil - just need to scrunch it and it’s sealed up.

are you in any local Facebook groups? like but nothing or mom groups? someone may have something to give away! otherwise do you have any old paper bags? those can be used for wrapping

I would use foil 😂 I know my kid would love it

I would just scatter the unwrapped toys with the wrapped ones. Maybe organize presents by child so they know whose is who's.

Use a book , magazine , newspaper, junk mail , any box you can find even in the kitchen like popcorn corn box Mac and cheese box random boxes lol they would think it’s funny lol

I bought 1 dollar wrapping paper from the dollar store, family dollar has is for 1.25

Wrapped in middle of livingroom unwrapped around it.... like a circle. With tags/names. We all sit around the circle and read the name infront of us and hand them around.♡ .hope you find something that works for you x

@Roksan same! Walmart has for 98 cents. You just have to be gentle 😂

Maybe a scavenger hunt to find the other presents. Santa left them around the house lol

Paper bags and draw on it

@Jem this is what I was thinking too!

Newspaper, fabric

I just started getting fancy with wrapping once I had kids. When I was growing up the toys were never wrapped. We all had our own side of the tree and a couch. Toys under the tree and clothes and shoes or accessories where laid out put on the couch.

I’ve seen people use dish towels to wrap!

I’ve seen people wrap in a scarf and then tie the scarf up in a knot, or a thin blanket.

Regular paper or clothes😂

Pillowcases

News paper

I keep the big things unwrapped
