Once again Scrivener's Friday 5 site comes up with a timely topic.
1. How seriously do you take gift-wrapping when you give gifts?
Not very. Fact is if I buy a gift and take it on a plane to the Big Island of Hawaii for my family, federal airport security laws require that gifts not be wrapped!
Overall it is faster to just put gifts in a gift bags or give a gift certificate or money.
2. Do you save gift-wrapping to re-use later?
YES! Gift bags and bows are definitely saved and recycled for the next year. Cheaper than having to buy new ones. Ribbons and wrap are saved depending on the condition at time after opening.
3. How picky are you when it comes to selecting wrapping paper?
Not very. I wait for the AFTER Christmas blowout sales when all of that crap can be found for 50 to 70% off at some stores. Why spend big bucks on something most people just tear up on Christmas day? The main purpose of gift wrap is to keep the gift hidden until the big day. No one should be spending exuberant amounts of money on gift wrap.
4. How much attention do you pay to the way gifts you receive are wrapped?
Not much - the gifts just have to look good while sitting under the tree until the big day.
5. Among people you know, who is the most talented at wrapping gifts?
My mom, my sister and some women in general.
