Taking back Christmas presents
We’re going back to England for Christmas and I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping. I was going to get everything wrapped up this week, but I’m now wonder if I should take them in the suitcase wrapped up or wait and do it when we get back?

I would take them unwrapped, to avoid the risk of TSA wanting to open them.

I buy gift wrap/bags over there...obviously I wrap them there too.

Re: Taking back Christmas presents
Obviously could go either way but I started wrapping mine before travel a few years ago because I hate doing it all when I get there. I've had one TSA inspection since (that I know of) and they didn't open anything. Depends what it looks like on an X-ray maybe.

Thanks - most are clothes as easier to pack in a case

Re: Taking back Christmas presents
If you ask for any kind of official advice, it is to leave the wrapping until you arrive. There is always the danger that they will cut into anything they want and you'll have to re-wrap anyway.
