Days are getting busy over here! I had a nice birthday, though I woke up with the start of an intense migraine so did not have quite the day I had planned (friends taking me out for lunch) but instead they came to me and made it feel special. I got in so many beautiful flowers and lovely gifts I felt despite the headache like a birthday princess:) Last night my family took me out, and with my headache completely gone….it was the perfect way to end my special day.<\/p>\n
So we are in full blown gift wrapping season. I cannot lie I am WAY behind, only have 3 gifts wrapped. But this little elf will get the job done! Some of my gifts cannot be wrapped and because we are not going to be here this year for Christmas, many are being sent. I get a lot of emails about my gift wrapping (thank you). It is incredibly flattering to know you like it. I try to get creative and do something different, each time. Even if its a small touch….it is often those little extra somethings that elevate the gift giving experience.<\/p>\n
With the gift season to end all gift seasons slowly descending upon us…this post felt timely. I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my tried and true tips and also seek your advice\/gift wrapping tips as well….afterall it is the exchange of information that makes what I do so rewarding and fun!<\/p>\n
So here are some of my “tips” that are tried and true-<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I either? buy it wholesale but also sometimes buy it at? Marshalls and TJ Maxx. ! I must say in recent years their selection has been just amazing and so often when people ask about my giftwrap and where I bought it expecting to hear a fancy little paper shop…it is 90% of the time one of those two.<\/p>\n I buy their rolls by the 6’s and 12’s (around Christmas especially). They are so well priced and with the right ribbons and adornments make make a gift look incredibly beautiful. I do have not a fancy little giftwrap room though I sure would love one but I do give my giftwrap a very special container to house them in- (my chinoiserieie umbrella stand from my shop)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Very important! A great big luxurious bow on a gift can make it so special.I bought a large shipment of blue and white gingham for my business (somewhat my signature ribbon) however I have bought beautiful satin, taffeta and velvet ribbon online at places like Amazon and Ebay.<\/p>\n This year I am staying with an ivory, blue and mossy green theme, hence my ribbons stacked up and ready to go!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are what puts the crowning touch on a gift. I collect things starting in Nov. Everything from sprigs of evergreen to tiny ornaments, wood initials, pretty gift tags, berries, candy canes,? you name it……just about anything works.? I always have a stash of these adornments to add to gifts. My favorites though have to be pinecones and sprigs of fresh greens, simply elegant!<\/p>\n Gift tags- Love my gifttags from LB Originals….they are the perfect finishing touch and dictated my ribbon choices this year.

I have learned the hard way and come a long way from when my entire kitchen island is taken over by wrapping paper gone wild, acres of ribbon, adornments, tape, scissors, you name it. It was not a pretty sight.<\/p>\n I have learned a few tricks along the way. Until I have a designated wrapping room which honestly given how much I love to wrap, I technically should have one. But until then I like to put all my wrapping paper in my chinoiserie umbrella stand which keeps it nice and tidy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ribbons go in my new storage containers from Decor Market (also great for my many fabric\/trim samples) and so affordable<\/em><\/a>, love the wonderful little wicker basket-<\/p>\n Here are some other really great ideas that everyone can do-<\/p>\n This is such a neat idea if you if you cannot have a full on wrapping room like 99.9% of the population:)<\/p>\n ?Here are a few favorites ideas from simple storage solutions for even the smallest spaces to grandiose wrapping rooms (I would LOVE one)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some gift wrapping ideas and inspiration-<\/p>\n So…..the question is does this post have you excited to start wrapping those gifts? I must admit it, it certainly inspires me as I am trying hard to get in the holiday spirit and I do feel it happening, slowly but surely.? How about you? Any tried and true gift wrapping tips you care to share? We could all use the info…so do tell!<\/p>\n Thank you for stopping in, wishing you a fabulous day!
