What is your gift wrapping etiquette?

What is your wrapping etiquette? When wrapping do you always use a bow? I remember growing up my mom would wrap the gifts but hardly used any bows, close to the time I got too old to get “Santa Gifts” a few bows appeared on the bigger presents and I think it cam off my repeated asking. Guess since I grew up poor bows was seen as an unneeded expense on the present. When you use a bow do you feel the need to have a ribbon too? I see gifts all the time with bows but hardly any ribbons. If I can I always like to use ribbons with the bows, it makes the present more home-styled and finished. Do you use bows similar to the predominate color of your wrap or go for contrast; for instance a wrap with predominately red cooler gets a red bow, or a wrap with mainly green and white you’d use a blue bow? Do you match the wrap to the sophistication of the gift? If it was a set of cutlery would you wrap it in a bright wrap with cartoon like stockings, sleighs and candy canes, or wrap it in wrap with a more quiet snow flake pattern but more pastel in color? Does the status or importance dictate the sophistication of the wrap and or ribbon and bow? How much waste by % do you figure you lose wrapping or are you pretty good in getting the maximum amount of gifts wrapped out of a roll? Thanks for watching Merry Christmas Fluthers.
