I love to give beautifully wrapped gifts because the packaging itself feels like a gift. I’m certainly no Martha Stewart, but these packaging ideas are easy enough for anyone to attempt!

1) Kraft paper + baker’s twine

My favorite way to wrap gifts is with simple brown kraft paper and baker’s twine. It’s such a simple but beautiful way to wrap any gift. If you don’t have kraft paper, just use a regular paper grocery bag!

2) Washi Tape

My second favorite way to wrap gifts is using washi tape, a Japanese masking tape that comes in every color and pattern under the rainbow.
