If you have yet to wrap your holiday gifts (or like me, even finish selecting them) then you might appreciate some of these lovely and creative gift wrapping options as much as I did. They make a pair of socks, a necktie or a bottle of wine (what else do you get your dad?!) a bit more bedazzled!

How about going for out-of-the-box boxes?



A recipe box painted with chalkboard paint makes a great reusable container for giving baked goodies. A regular cardboard box covered with adhesive cork shelf liner makes the perfect tackable surface for a sticky note gift tag, while lined paper makes great gift wrap and the perfect backdrop for the recipient’s name spelled out in alphabet stamps!  

Then there’s there’s my first love, simply elegant customized wrapping paper and gift tags.

Or you can make your own DIY wine cozies.

And any present will be on top of the heap when it’s in a pretty package tied up with glittery strings.

Thanks to card maker Lion in the Sun, Mae Mae Paperie and Grey Likes Weddings for the inspiration. Now go put on your best Christmas mix and enjoy some happy wrapping!
