Now that we are officially in the Christmas season, (I mean I may or may not have been listening to Christmas music since Halloween), I wanted to talk about some gift wrapping techniques and inspiration. I love wrapping presents! Buying an incredible present and wrapping it for under the tree is so exciting to me! Especially when I can come up with a gift I know my friends or family is going to freak out for.
For my gift wrapping needs this year I’ve chosen to go with a kraft paper, red, and green color scheme. Sometimes I just reach for whatever my mom has bought that year, but I really do enjoy when all presents under the tree match and look cohesive. A technique that I use when wrapping gifts is to always fold the cut edges under so everything looks straight and clean. This year I am also planning on using my own hand made gift tags that I offer in my shop! I have many different options and am able to customize them for my needs or for others. I prefer gift tags rather than the little stickies since they make the gift look a bit more festive.
What are some of your favorite ways to wrap gifts?

Hope you got some inspiration! Thanks for reading Allison!
Love the ideas! Just in time for Christmas too. I love wrapping gifts so much, I often joke I’ll spend more on wrapping than I do on the actual gifts!
Oh that is so funny! I think having beautiful wrapping makes things more special!
Great tips, love the handmade tag idea!
