It seems everything about Christmas has changed. So do you wrap presents? Use gift bags? Buy gift boxes *already wrapped*? Or do you just put them in a envelope especially if its a gift card?
Box ? Bag? Wrapped? Envelope?

Bag? Yes... have given and have received gifts in these...
Wrapped? Of course! It was good then and still good now... hmmm, gotta find that wrapping paper to get a few things wrapped!
Envelope/box... ha! Got one from my sister right now - a box arrived just today and I know exactly what it is (it's become a tradition after a few years of her sending it) and I am excited to open the box but am attempting restraint! LOL!

Not really big on gift bags, although I am using one this year as I have a large misshaped item I could not wrap in the usual way.
I still wrap traditionally, but deceptively.
This Christmas for example, I have a gift labelled "Fragile - Glass!!!". It is neither. Just stops the person getting it from picking it up, poking it and shaking while trying to guess what it is.
Then there is the nested boxes. Gift wrapped box in a box in a box...etc.
In the past I have included things like a small baby rattle or 1/4 full bottle of water in the wrapping paper. The noise of that always throws off guesses.
Yes, I am quite evil...

I love gift bags. If it will fit in the bag, that is how it will be wrapped 
Best part is how reusable they are. Heck some times I don't even need to change the tag on the bag.

One year I wrapped a can of tuna and gave it to my nephew. Also gave him apricots at the same time.Not really big on gift bags, although I am using one this year as I have a large misshaped item I could not wrap in the usual way.

You learn the definition of pissed when you give an 8 year old a can of tuna and apricots on Christmas morning!!! Very funny though.
