How to Wrap Beautiful Christmas Presents

I have always loved beautifully wrapped presents. I am the lead present wrapper in my family. 

As many of us are finishing up our holiday shopping and present wrapping, I wanted to share some of my tips with you on how to make your presents look great! 

1. Select a Theme

This might sound weird, but I like to select a theme for how I am going to wrap. This year I went with a Kraft, plaid, red and white color scheme. I like picking a color scheme because then your gifts look amazing together under the tree.

2. Pick a Neutral Paper

I do not like busy wrapping paper. I like to pick a solid color or a simple single pattern paper like plaid or my Kraft with Merry Christmas pictured. Picking a neutral paper gives you more options for fun ribbons and bows. I love to purchase paper from TJ. Maxx or Homegoods. They have department store quality paper for Target prices. 

3. Pick a Fun Ribbon

Ribbon is one of the reasons I love wrapping presents. You can do so much with ribbon. I think adding a big bow to a present makes it look a million times better and more expensive! I love glitter and burlap ribbon. 

4. Accessorize Your Present

Once you have selected your ribbon, theme and paper you can add fun accessories like an ornament. I  like to tie small ornaments onto the ribbon to give the gift some extra flair. I have also seen others tuck berries or greens into the ribbon, I have yet to try this. 

5. Put Everything in a Box

My last tip is when you are wrapping to put everything in a box. I think boxes look a million times better wrapped up than for say a football in no box. Odd shaped items are difficult to wrap and in my option look worse wrapped than a box. 

I hope my tips are helpful! Merry Christmas!

I should of posted this earlier in the month... but I have been so busy with finals these past two weeks! Anyways, as a college girl these are gifts that I love giving and would love to receive as well. You are probably wondering, a toothbrush really? Yes! as a dental student I think giving and receiving a high quality toothbrush such as the Sonicare Diamond Clean, it make a fabulous gift. My mouth feels amazing after I brush with it everyday! This is what my family members are getting for Christmas this year!

Enjoy!
