Okay, I know that's a little bit dramatic but I seriously LOVE wrapping gifts. I find it so much fun and it so satisfies my OCD. But really it's just one of the ways that I can put an extra special spin on things each Christmas season.
I love going out and matching different wrapping papers together with things like ribbons and tags to put together a theme. So like I do every year I thought I would share with you what I came up with!
This year I was really looking for something that matched my girls' personalities and I think I nailed it...Santa riding a unicorn. Yeah, nailed it! I mean, seriously how cute is this paper? I love how it captures the traditional colors of Christmas like red and green but then it throws in pink as well. It's such a fun and unexpected combination!
I always like to pick out at least two different papers to add variety. Right now I am really into using plain brown paper. I think it adds a really nice contrast. This year I added decorations using stickers. It was a lot of fun to play around with these and I love how it turned out!
Now on to my favorite part: ribbon! I wanted to match the playful element of the Santa wrapping paper and this pom-pom ribbon works perfectly! And of course the red and white striped ribbon worked really great as well. I think these combinations turned out to be super whimsical.
So I have to admit, I scoured the internet and could not find this unicorn paper! So what I did was pull together some things that were really similar. Just click on the italicized words for links!
1. Paper: I love all these options from Meri Meri!
2. Tags: These Santa and Reindeer tags are really similar to the stickers that I used. I also couldn't help but share these cute Nutcracker tags as well!
3. Ribbon: The sweetest pom-pom ribbon here. Striped ribbon here! This would be a really fun option too from Target!
4. Greenery: For a finishing touch I just added some greenery that I cut from the trees outside my house!
Well I hope you guys enjoyed this years gift wrapping guide! I suggest adding a peppermint mocha from Starbucks and lots Christmas music to help get you even more in the spirit!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas season!
