A Gift Wrapping Guide for Beautifully Wrapped Gifts

07 November

Every year for Christmas, I have all these grand plans to make my wrapped packages just as special as the gift that’s inside them. I love it when I see beautifully wrapped packages that someone has put thought and love into.

I have great intentions but then I fall short of my goal and it’s for two reasons:

I am Polly Procrastinator and I wait until the last minute to wrap my gifts. Since I have waited so long and I am now #wrappingallthepresents at once, I am over it after about 2 packages!
I am so focused on the gifts themselves that I forget to stock up on some pretty papers and gift wrapping supplies which takes me back to #1… and now I don’t have time to get those supplies! Plus I’m already over it remember?! 😖

This year is going to be different! I am planning my gift wrapping BEFORE I have even purchased any gifts!

If you need help in this area too then you’ll love this post.

I have created a gift guide but it’s different than your average gift guide, this one is centered around the gift packaging… it’s a guide for wrapping your gifts! I rounded up some great ideas from some of the wonderfully creative shop owners on Etsy to help make your packages just as special as what’s inside!

Additional Supplies Needed

Blankets are a pretty common gift for Christmas but they are pretty boring to wrap up. How about a special blanket wrap label from The Paper Stash DIY? It would also work for scarves!
