Sorry Baby W, you totally got shafted. There is like nothing to buy for a baby his age! Next year will be better. Oh, and I will not spend 2 hours hunched over the floor wrapping. 2 weeks after getting whiplash at that. Now I need a drink. I need to have H make me a 7up with some alcohol on it haha.
H is actually a very good present wrapper, and since I buy all of the gifts (which he doesn't like doing) he gets to wrap them all. I love getting to shove the pile at him and not worry about it.
I make my H wrap ours too. He's amazing at it..like professional at high end dept. store amazing. If you met the man you'd never know it. He requires lots of girlie drinks while doing..so I'm assuming he feels your pain too.
We didn't get Rubes anything more than an ornament and her Christmas outfit last year. She was too little to care, everyone else got her stuff. This year was much more fun!

If I drank while wrapping, it would have been even worse. There is no way to wrap a baby toy that doesn't come in a box. And putting it in a gift bag kind of negates the fun of making a 3 month old unwrap something (with your assistance of course lol).
My H is not good at wrapping present but as "tape man" he is fabulous. He had the baby in his lap and the baby kept smiling so it was not too bad of a time.
My H is a much better wrapper than me too. Perfect corners, no funny bumps, nice ribbon, lol. I think it has something to do with how his mind is more engineering/mechanically inclined than mine.
I enjoy wrapping and usually end up watching a movie of two while I do it. It's the decorating the packages once they are wrapped that i struggle with.
My sister actually looked at the wrapping on her gift and said she could tell it was him because all of the pieces of tape were the same length =). He's known for stuff like that.
