Tonight I polished off (most of) my xmas wrapping

That's great but I was in the zone and wrapped a present I didn't want to wrap yet. I bought my nephew (godson) a miniature "claw machine" that's meant for candy. I planned to go to a candy store to buy penny candy and candy canes to fill the machine with (as well as put batteries in it) so he and the kids can play with it on xmas eve. Should I go to the store I bought it at to find out what batteries I need and wrap those separately with the candy.. or rewrap it with the candy and batteries in place?

Oh, and Bi-Baby is getting gifts from Glenn Danzig, Billy Mays, George Romero, UR BF KG, Iron Chef, and one unnamed gift giver.

3. So they get to open one gift on xmas eve?

If they can only open one gift, I say you may need to rewrap it with batteries and candy inside. However, if they open all their gifts or can open more than one, I think it is more fun to wonder why you got a box of candy and batteries and then laugh and nod when you open the clever little machine that they go in.

Kudos for getting the wrapping done too.
