So my 12 yo girls are getting new comforters and sheets from Santa. Should HE (I) set their beds up and surprize them that way or should I let them unwrap them? They go to their other parents house untill tomorrow so I have time but not sure which would be the GREATEST surprize....
I would put the beds together ONLY IF you can get those GIANT bows to put on thier doors and the bed itself with a big "FROM SANTA" lable.
I like the bow idea, and I think making the beds is the better way, because unwrapping a present of sheets is not the most exciting thing,no matter how much you want new bedding.
Do you have thick, bright ribbon? I would...
Set up the beds all pretty, then "wrap" the whole bed with a bow (kind of how people wrap cars as gifts).
Maybe you could print a couple of "this way --->" signs leading them from their stockings to their beds.
I'm sure they'll love them no matter how you decide to present them.

Do your girls really still believe in Santa at age 12 or do they just pretend they do to humor you? I'd say make up their beds before they get home and REALLY surprise them--whether the surprise comes from you or Santa really doesn't matter.
we dont wrap santa presents. they are all of the awkward presents that are impossible to wrap.
M. B - I would say wrap them up & then spend time with them while they are setting up their new beds!!! Double fun for all of you. Have a great time! B.
l would say wrap them..the fun about xmas is unwrapping presents..and then u girls can have fun putting them on the beds together...my son has more fun unwrapping gifts so l let him unwrap mine too..l think l enjoy watching him do that..so u might be bummed after the fact, if you don't have them wrapped up.
