Hola! How are you all? Things have been a bit manic lately so apologies for this blog post been published a day later than usual. It’s such a busy time of year isn’t it and everything always seems to happen at once! So how’s your Christmas shopping coming along? I’m half way there and even managed to get some wrapped which is one of my favorite parts. I love lighting the fire, Christmas tunes playing and taking my time to make everyone’s gifts look super stylish, after all a major part of the holiday season is gift giving. Its always fun giving and receiving gifts and when they are beautifully presented you can tell that someone has gone that step further and it makes it even more meaningful. You don’t have to be a skilled wrapper you just need to have a bit of time and patience. Here are some simple, stylish Christmas wrapping ideas to get you started.
My favourite ever wrapping paper that is perfect for any occasion including Christmas is the pages from my Stendig calendar. So not only does is look great on the wall all year round you can they re-cycle it. I’ve had one now for the past 3 years so I was fancying a change for 2018 but I’m still tempted to buy one just to use as wrapping paper! Don’t worry though, if you don’t have one there are still plenty more ideas below including plain brown paper which is so cheap but makes such a lovely base for wrapping. You can then decorate with stamps, ribbon, string and lots of festive bits and pieces.
