Kingdom of Knuffel

I would if I could especially if they're nicely shaped objects and not soft toys or something odd 8U I usually just box/bag those.

I just love going through different coloured wrapping paper, wrapping tissue, ribbons, twine, present tags etc. It makes me very happy to decorate using shiny, metallic, glittery paper and accessories.

Aha that's a good idea.
Still, I have bought a painting, or actually a drawing, and I have no idea how to wrap this.

I have a framed thing that's wrapped at the foot of my bed
Nowhere to put it
Cost mom something like 5 Euro and the framing and glass is closer to $200 LOL

So if it's framed, it may be easier
But then again I didn't wrap it so idk

I think this is something that depends on perspective. Just because there is a day that has been corporately and culturally designated for gift-giving doesn't mean that it's necessarily forced or fake. That would be the same as feeling obliged to give a friend a gift because it's their birthday (which I don't necessarily prescribe to.)

For me (and for this year especially), I think of Christmas as an opportunity to thank, acknowledge, and show care to those around me. I think it's sometimes easy to forget about others and just how much they mean to us; we can get used to their company, and our "thank yous" may become something of an automatic habit.

Therefore having to take time out of my life, to think carefully of my friends and individuals with individual tastes, and think of the good things they've done for me is very important to me. The act of gift giving is itself worth it to me, and I'm thankful that I was able to have enough money to set aside to do it, and have the opportunity to show my friends that they have someone who cares for them this season.

It doesn't even have to be bought gifts; I'm just as happy making small gifts for others as well. This year it seems like I'm doing half and half, aha.

I havn’t finished yet, but I got my fiance a nice new pair of timberlains and got my mom a sweater. I need to find something for my brother still.

Aha you're right, I should find a frame and frame it, it would make things easier.
Except I don't know how those two decorate their home so it could be kinda hard to find something that fits their place.

So don't go overly fancy, something neutral and versatile would be good

That's what I would do. If I didn't have to take a plane with it and either put it in my suitcase and hope it won't break or bring it with me and hope I find space.
I think I'll just bring it that way and buy a frame overe there.

That would be better, considering the airplane
