This year, I’ve had a little too much fun wrapping gifts. Oh sure, Husband mocks my supply of back-up pom-poms, but during the holidays they come in super handy! As does my ridiculous collection of stamps, papers, & string. I like having an assortment of wrappings that are all personalized. I feel like any gift feels extra special when you take time to make the package unique. Don’t you think? So today, I’m sharing the love. Here are a few of the ideas I’m using this year.
1. Everyone loves pom-poms!
Everyone! I used a giant pom-pom on my package for our book club book exchange, and it was a huge hit.
2. Don’t buy gift tags. Use stamps to make your own!
I adore my Christmas stamp set. Here’s a similar one if you need your own: Reindeer to Your Heart Stationery Set from ModCloth
3. Two words: toy dinosaur
I really love finding cute ways to use little miniature animals. You’ll see a couple other ways in the coming weeks, but here’s one that I spray painted pink and glued to a clothespin to hold on a gift tag. Bonus: you can put him on the tree when he’s done holding the tag!
4. Chalkboard Tags
I used leftover chalkboard paint to make a few gift tags for the men in my life. (Then, they felt too manly and I put hearts all around the names.)
5. Washi Tape
Use washi tape to label your packages or add a little funky detail to the package.
6. *SPARKLE!*
Always sparkle! I used leftover tinsel, gold wash tape, and a glittered wand to wrap this one, and it may be my very favorite!
How do you wrap gifts? Does everything coordinate or are things a little more personalized?
