If you’re like my mother, you’re up at 3am the night before Christmas wrapping gifts. But just because you wrap at the last minute – hey, we women do a lot! – it doesn’t mean your gifts can’t look their best. Here are a few inspirational gift wrap ideas so your gifts look like winners on the outside as well as the inside!
1. Craft paper. String. Paint pen. Fresh foliage. You can probably dig these things out of a craft box somewhere. Plus it’s eco-friendly if you recycle! Source: Project Wedding
2. Print up your favorite photos onto copy paper for a personalized look. Source: Photojojo
3. Stash your gift inside a brown paper bag – a book or handmade journal perhaps? – and tie with skinny ribbon and handmade paper candies. Source: Sugar and Charm
