The Gift of a Gift

Dec 19 2011 · 0 comments · Holiday, Inspiration ·0

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to wrap gifts. It gives me great pleasure to embrace my presents with papers and ribbons that tease the recipient with anticipation of what might be inside. To me, the gift wrapping is a further expression of my creativity and as much a part of the present as the gift inside.

As always, my gifts are wrapped in colors that compliment my room designs. This year the color scheme is orange and poppy. I’ve chosen double satin ribbons and adorned them with a myriad of sparkly embellishments. They look so beautiful under the Christmas tree just waiting to make someone happy~

This is an overview of the gift wrap materials I use. Ribbons sourced from Jacobson Floral.

Papers and embellishments from Michaels and The Container Store, aren’t they fun?

Ahhh, now to use everything creatively.

Don’t forget the jingle bells for the children. Come to think of it, aren’t we all young at heart at Christmas time? Bells for everyone~

Ornaments make perfect present toppers, especially if they’re ½ price!

Of course, the more design elements that reflect light the better. Nothing beats that festive holiday sparkle!

I love GLITTER wrapping paper! If I don’t have a bit of glitter on me from December 1^st to the 25^th, I just don’t think I’m fully enjoying the season~

A few ideas for gift tags…

You can hand paint (or make) your gift tags and copy them~ have fun and personalize your gifts.

You can also use photos as gift tags, similar to the place card idea I shared a couple of weeks ago.

Voila here are the gifts under my tree~ isn’t it a beautiful sight? I’m so happy I can enjoy this for a few days before these gifts are given away to make even more people happy!
