I absolutely love pretty gift wrap. There is something about giving or receiving a gift that is packaged beautifully that just makes me giddy. Each year I try to coordinate my wrapping paper and ribbons with my homes Holiday decor. So this year of course was aqua and green and I mixed in metallics of gold & silver. Here is a look at the wrapped packages I gifted this year.
How about you, does the wrapping process bring you joy? Any great sources for gift wrap, embellishments, and ribbon that you'd like to share? I can never get enough!
What lovely wrappings! I am starting to gather supplies for next year.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking gold and white. I am also looking for white birds or to make a white felt bird ornament.
peace and Happy 2012~

I have started wrapping all gifts in craft paper, no matter the occasion, and spending more time and $$ on embellishments. Brightly colored yarn loops were big this christmas. I also love making small tissue paper pompoms in appropriate colors (blush for a baby gift, ie) for the top. I also love to work small gifts into the wrap: If it's a bridal shower and my wrapped gift is kitchen themed, perhaps I'll secure a unique cookie cutter to the top.
ReplyDeleteYou ended up getting the Missoni poufs! I am so happy for you.
ReplyDeletePS. Love the wrapping!
