Style
Here is my present giving style:
Individual wrapping. Three types of Scottish tartan for my grandpa, giraffe print for my sister in law, atomic science for my mom, ocean beach for my grandma (since she likes the ocean), old time newspaper for my sister, spaghetti for my brother, wood for my dad, and pine tree for my brother.
Please do not think this is impressive. It takes the same amount of work to wrap individual wrapping paper as all the same. The presents inside are quite generic. Earrings for the girls, and chocolate for the boys.

They are gold earrings

I am glad you say you would like them, because I couldn’t tell if my female relatives liked them or not. They acted like they did, but you never can tell with girls.

i don’t ever wear gold earrings. i think it is for old ladies haha.

Oh? You just go for platinum and diamonds then? I did get one that had a pearl with diamonds around it, and I thought it looked old, but it was for my grandma. And she liked it (and the diamonds were fake).
haha not platinum or diamonds, they are for old people! i love quirky and weird designs. i’ll take photos of my favorite earrinsg one of these days.

Yes, you should do that
I love your gift-wrapping. It looks so warm and pleasant!
Make sure to restore your wallet!
what’s the point of such elaborate wrappings? they’ll just be ripped apart in two seconds.

true, true; but they sure were enjoyed while they lasted
nice…Happy New Year!
I was AWOL for a few weeks in Dec…when you posted this. What a GREAT idea! I love the wrapping paper you chose to “match” each person! I will steal your idea next Christmas!
HUGS!

It is worse than that…..I will tell you the worst thing. I gave my grandma earrings, then after she opened them, she let me know that her ears haven’t even been pierced…………..
