My Top Picks for Holiday Gift Wrapping

It’s not just gift-giving season, it’s wrapping paper season too!

I made my gift list and checked it twice. I finished all my shopping and the package deliveries to my front porch are starting to slow to a crawl. So that only means one thing: time to start wrapping. I adore beautifully wrapped presents. Maybe it is because my mom is the queen of holiday gift wrap. As a young girl, I would watch her wrap presents. She would magically turn a plain gift box into a piece of art with shiny paper, ribbon, and beautiful present toppers. This passion for pretty packages tied up with string (thank you Sound of Music) has passed on to me. I love the look of beautifully wrapped presents under my Christmas tree. In this post, I share my top picks for holiday gift wrapping (matching ribbons and gift tags included) guaranteed to make your present look as special and heartfelt on the outside as it is on the inside.


A Sweet Nutcracker Suite

This combination of classic colored ribbon, wooden soldier present toppers (that can double as gift tags) and colorful Nutcracker-themed paper offer an ode to this festive Christmas ballet.


Pretty in Plaid

Winter is officially plaid season so this collection of plaid patterns make it perfect for holiday packages. The rustic burlap ribbon and craft paper gift tags give it a cozy feel. Plaid is not officially “holiday” so you can wrap presents in this paper all year long.


A Merry Navy Christmas
