That's a Wrap: Christmas Wrapping Ideas!

I don't know about you but I take Christmas wrapping pretty seriously (apparently, serious enough to feel the need to blog about it haha!)  I know that it might seem a little over the top but I just love it so much and its just my way of making giving a little extra special.  So I thought that I would share with you all, how I am wrapping my presents this year! 


1. paper - I usually pick out at least two different paper designs and I try to find ones that coordinate.  This year I went with a plain brown paper that I found at Hobby Lobby and a really pretty mistletoe print from Rifle Paper Co. I love the way that these two look together and I think it says "Christmas" without being "too Christmas" you know what I mean? 

2. ribbon - I went with two different types of ribbon too, a plain white and a white and gold twine.  I really like using actual ribbon as opposed to the plastic bows.  It just elevates it a little bit AND you don't have to worry about your bows getting squashed if you have to transport your gifts from one house to another.  To get different looks you can just play around with it a bit.  On some of my gifts I actually doubled up the twine and I really like how it turned out! 

3. greenery - This is a great way to add a pop of color and texture and it's super simple because you can just go outside and grab a few branches and be done if you wish.  I added some eucalyptus and cedar! 

4. gift tags - In lieu of traditional gift tags this year, I went with these stickers that I also found at Rifle Paper Co. I thought it was a great way to tie both papers together and they are super cute! 

So that's pretty much all there is to it!  I would say that I hope you don't think of me as the crazy Christmas lady now that you have read this but I think I would totally be ok with that haha!  I celebrate hard from Thanksgiving until the 25th so bear with me! 

I am wishing you all a wonderful Christmas season, thanks for reading!

  4. Brown paper with greenery sounds like match made it heaven. I much prefer the simple, rustic feel compared to all the over the top bright colors and shininess! I'm sure the people all the receiving end of the gifts will love your extra effort!
