It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I am still shopping . . . but once again, I hope to be done before Christmas Eve, and I hope to NOT be wrapping presents on Christmas Eve (or Christmas … which I hate to admit I have done . . . more than once)!

I enjoy wrapping presents while drinking wine, listening to Christmas music and admiring the light on the tree . My husband is super talented when it comes to using wrapping paper – on every shape of present. Me, not so much! But, I have a few ideas I use that make wrapping fun! Here they are!

Unique (and Easy) Ways to Wrap Gifts

Use Christmas Bows INSTEAD OF Tissue Paper!

I started doing this a few years ago. It looks so festive and beautiful! So, if you are using a gift bag – don’t use the traditional tissue paper! Instead, get a few handful of bows and put them in over the gift. Not sure what I’m talking about? I’m talking about these: Christmas bows

I did this for my cousin’s gift a few years back, and she commented, “I like how you used bows in the bag”! This is a huge deal, because she was 13 – and that age is not easy to impress!

You can also use the smaller bows when you are gifting fun jewelry in a box. Put the necklace, earrings, or bracelet in the box, and cover them up with small bows!

Wrap your gift in another gift

I’m sure you’ve seen this done with bins, but what about a blanket? Blankets are awesome gifts to give (one size fits all and it’s like a hug when you are not around)!

My 14 year old niece asked for one for her birthday . . . so I’m giving her one for Christmas . I actually gave her a sleeping bag for her birthday – and they work great too! Put the gift inside the blanket (or sleeping bag). Roll it or fold it up; then put a bow around it! It’s a present inside a present! Oh what fun!

Use a Stocking!

I know most people already have a stocking, but honestly, I would LOVE if someone did this for me!

I thought about leaving this out, but honestly and seriously, I would love this!

One reason why you might want to consider this option, is if the person you are gifting HATES clutter! A stocking – well, at least a normal size one – creates a space for small gifts.

Need some ideas?

Give a woman in your life things like a small Miraculous Medal necklace, gift cards, gift cards, gift cards, some beauty items, a nice pen, a wallet, gel pens, lottery tickets . . . I mean you could totally STACK AND STUFF a Stocking with Amazing Gifts that won’t clutter the house!

It’s fun and easy!
