I love the idea of not writing tags and just using different papers. I can never find enough gift tags, and when I can they never match the paper, and it's such a pain writing them and sticking them on. The problem I would have with your system is that there are lots of different people and only a few gifts (in most cases one) each, so I'd need to have lots of different papers.

Best wishes,
Jo

Miki,
I am having troubles with your blog! Sometimes I can see it, sometimes I can't. Some posts I can comment, some I can't. I don't know why. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I am still reading when I can. I like the paper idea, but same as the previous poster, we only have one gift each! :)

As for Christmas lists, we abandoned them this year. My daughter kept asking me to write down everything she saw. At the store, from her videos, on the computer. It would be this toy and that game and this video, etc. I think it was enticing greed to enter her pretty little head. So we decided that they could each ask for ONE thing. They have to decide which one thing they want over everything else. I will get them 2 gifts each, and one "together" gift, but they can only ask for one (and will only be expecting one!) That's the joy, they will get what they ask for within reason, and something a little extra :-)
