Absolutely ridiculous. Imagine all those trips up and down in the lift, to and from the car. What a waste of time and money. They much have way too much.

This is a great idea and could be lovely to do with some friends too, although I am not sure if much packing would be done when accompanied with friends, drinks, food and fun ! Personally I always wrapped the presents in peace and quiet when the kids are at school

This sounds epic, I love this idea. Bit expensive, but i totally love it

Now that is certainly something different. Each to their own.

That would have been a stress free way of getting everything wrapped and have a couple of days to yourself. Hey, if you can afford to do this then why not. Will give you the chance to relax before Xmas gets here and you have to start preparing all the food.

There are probably better ways to do this.

Unless the mum shopped on the day of booking the hotel, then how did she get all the presents into her car or whatever unseen?
Prefer to do my shopping through the year, wrap them and put them into a storage bin in my sewing den. No one goes in these in case they get caught up in the work that is in there and have to sew on a few buttons, ha ha.

Wow, I am constantly amazed at how many people still have spare cash to waste on unnecessary things

Buy my presents throughout the year, wrap them immediately when home after buying and put in a storage container in the spare room. Safe and waiting to be unwrapped on Christmas Day.

Hahaha, I love this. Why did I never think of it? And now it’s too late as my son has moved out of home and I have hardly anyone to buy for.

I just started “wrapping” presents in fabric gift bags, much easier for family as for the kids they never get that many presents.

Gosh if i could afford this, what a genius idea!

Oh wow any excuse to let herself have some fun

My kids never get that many presents to wrap! I usually just do it when they are asleep.
Even better to save on wrapping I usually just put most of them unwrapped in a sack!

I’m sure it’s great me time for her, but it does seem a bit of a waste. I’ve never had any issues with wrapping as I wait until my kids go to bed (8.30pm) and then I do it watching a Christmas movie. If you have a routine there’s no issue. My kids go to sleep when they’re asked and we usually don’t hear from them until morning.

That’s awesome.

Lovely idea, even better to do it with a group of friends.
Personally I just wrap the gifts when the kids are at school or when I’m early awake and everyone is on one ear

I would love this. A weekend away to wrap presents sounds like bliiiissss! A full nights sleep and some me time and just wrapping presents in peace! If only I had the money haha

I’m not sure. I wouldn’t spend money on a room to wrap presents. I wrap the presents when my twins are sleeping in the evening. But in saying that we don’t overdo it at Christmas. There are not many presents to wrap.

  Happy to spend money on getting away; but not to wrap presents.

I love that this Mum has taken some time for herself. Even then she is still doing something for her family. I bet she goes home with a renewed outlook and feels rested.
