I like to keep things simple when it comes to gift wrapping. This year I used brown paper bags and inexpensive postal wrapping paper (dollar general) for a clean look. From there I embellished with paper and fabric scarps, thrifted ribbon, magazine cuts outs, and other bits.

[Ah, the thrifty possibilities...]
How do YOU Wrap Gifts for the Holidays?
i love using plain brown paper as you have. sometimes the kids add their drawings on it, sometimes i put a pretty bow, but honestly? my favourite look is brown paper with string or raffia tied up.
ReplyDeletegreat ideas. i used to use the sunday comics (which were in colour) when i was a kid.
Ana: Yep, I do believe that is my favorite wrapping style for the Holidays, too. What more do you need?
ReplyDeletewe use brown papero too and then doodle on it! love doing that as it makes it more personal!

I like using old maps and I put a gift card into a small cigar tin. I use mostly fabric ribbon and of course recycle it. I'm going to use pages from a comic book for some small things. Thanks for a great post with some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteI am not a good wrapper. I love bags and tissue but it really is the easy way out. This year I am trying to wrap more and use some imagination. Thanks for the great suggestions.
ReplyDeleteLinda: I forgot to add that my gift wrapping efforts were abysmal last year. The gifts looked like crap!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to be back to recycled-wrappings. It's so much easier for me.
Chandlerguera: I love the gift card in a small cigar tin idea! Cigar boxes and tins in general make amazing gift boxes.
I love Kraft paper and did use some for wrapping this year, although I mostly used all sorts of gift wrapping paper and ribbons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Animal Crossing does seem fun:) I love how you are so diverse in your choice of games too;)
Go to any retail store after stocking day and you can get a TON of boxes. I do this every time I move, but I also do it so I can put my presents in boxes.
ReplyDeleteI really love the look of your packages Van... nice, clean, easy... my kind of wrapping!
ReplyDeleteBlue eyed night owl: I'll have to look into that kraft paper!
ReplyDeleteSparrow's Nest: Good idea, I need to find the stocking days for the stores nearby! I always go at random when boxes are slim pickings.
I almost never buys gift wrappers, I just look around the house to find something. This year, I'm using fabric since I've got tons of extras!
ReplyDeleteYou're gifts looks too cute! :) I may have to look into brown paper for the next gift giving.
We won't even discuss the sweet potato curry, red velvet
ReplyDeletecake, and eggnog. Huge numbers of people need to know the
answer to this question but only thousands find the answer.
Only they could test and confirm your doubts.
