It’s one of the big debates of Christmas preparation in houses up and down the land - do Christmas stocking presents need to be wrapped?
Posters on parenting forum Mumsnet have weighed in on the argument and opinions are firmly divided, although one simple suggestion has seen some readers declaring they will make a change this year.
While some posters say life is too short to individually wrap small gifts, others have been pointing out that you want to encourage the recipient to get a few minutes’ anticipation out of it rather than emptying everything out in one go - especially as some posters have admitted to spending up to £150 on the contents of a stocking .
