How is your Christmas shopping coming? I’m excited to be (slightly) ahead of the game with just a couple of items left to hunt down. Thank goodness one task is almost crossed off the never-ending “To Do” List. But now that there is a stack of gifts piled on my guest room bed, it’s time for the final step – wrapping!
I really love beautifully wrapped presents sitting under a twinkling Christmas tree. There is just something about the sight that makes my living room feel so warm and cozy. Another thing I love is a quick and easy DIY way of wrapping these gifts. The holiday season never fails to be filled with parties, gatherings, bakings and buyings on top of the daily duties. Though I desire the gifts I give to have a personalized and pretty, I simply do not have the time to devote to intricate details. So I’m drawn to the simple elegance of gift-wrapping these days. For me, it is the perfect way to ‘wrap’ up my Christmas tasks!
Below are a few lovely ideas of how to dress up your packages without a lot of supplies and/or you can do on a limited time frame.
And to keep you entertained while swimming in paper, tape and tags, take a listen to this adorable song about the frustrating plastic packaging of toys these days by Sara Groves: “Toy Packaging“
