It's been a while, but I'm joining in with other bloggers over at Rocks in My Dryer for Works for Me Wednesday to share some ideas that work for me!I am not a big fan of rummaging around under the Christmas tree, reading through nametags and handing out gifts. Maybe I just feel lazy on Christmas mornings, but it seems to create chaos! Since our then 3-year old daughter couldn't read yet last year, I needed a way to easily identify everyone's presents. So here's what works for me:
Last year I bought a 1 roll of wrapping paper for each person, and wrapped all of their gifts in the same paper. This way my 3-year old (and mama and daddy) could easily identify her gifts. It was wonderful!
This year I have an abundance of half-used wrapping paper rolls. Instead of buying more wrapping paper, I'm printing out sheets with 9 square black and white photos of each member of our family on each page. Each photo will be cut out and attached to each gift, with an initial written on the bottom of the package just in case one falls off.
Let me know if this works for you too!
Merry Christmas, y'all!

Great idea! I'm sure the girls will think it's neat too. :) Did you get my email?
Very nice site with a lot of useful information
Thanks for the great idea! I still haven't wrapped a single thing, but I don't have much to wrap. So I should have enough paper to use your idea.
Thats a great idea! I still have alot to wrap! Julie @ Coupon Saving Family
I like that photo idea. I let my kids to the crawling around under the tree and trying to decipher my handwriting and handing out the gifts. Saves my aching knees!
