There is nothing I love more than giving on Christmas time. Whether it is homemade goodies, a beautiful hand written card or gifts....I like to make each and extra item special. Gift wrapping gives you the outlet to be as creative as you want. It's all in the details, you don't have to go out and spend a lot of money on paper. Look around your house and use your noggin. Butcher Paper tied with twine and a fresh cut branch of balsam make quite a chic presentation. Think outside the traditional gift wrapping box. Here are just a few ideas to try that I pulled together last minute. Oh....& Don't forget to blast your Bing Crosby and Harry Connick Jr while doing so. Get in the mood and do it with love.
1. His and her gift card wrapping idea. Big bow for the woman and a more structured dark knot for the man. (The candle glowing is Moss and Mint by NEST - keeping your surroundings festive helps with the holiday spirit)
2. Fill potpourri in a clear bag and add your gift cards... Use festive scents to spice up your gift. Nothing like opening the bag and catching the magical scent of Christmas....
Add ornaments to help make your presents shine and pop. I personally love silver paper with a blush ribbon and sparkly snowflakes or icicles hanging for the extra pop factor.
Whatever you do, do it with love and pass that feeling on. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
