What are you wrapping the presents in this year?

[candykane25]

I am going modern traditional
If that makes sense. North Pole Elf style. It is also quite bargainous. I have red and white shiny candy cane stripe paper from Primark. I have also got red and white Nutcracker soldier print paper from ikea. I got the elf mail cotton sacks from Poundland too.
I was thinking of using jingle bells as an ornament when tying the ribbon but I am worried my DD might accidentally swallow one so maybe I'll use actual candy canes instead.
I am using a mix of red, white and green ribbon.
I have leftover tartan paper from last year for when I run out!

I use Xmas print cottons and Japanese furoshiki wrapping techniques - for the adults. Pretty and reusable.

And whatever cheap wrapping paper is on offer for the kids as the still enjoy ripping it off!

DH does 90% of the wrapping and likes to get silly! tiny presents in huge boxes or pushed into a balloon etc. He feels it is his job to make the guessing harder.

I too like to take my time wrapping. I get very organised with a large space, scissors, sellotape, pen, tags, tin of ribbon all in a line. It's very calming and therapeutic.

As I have had the house to myself this weekend. I have started the great annual wrap.

I have 4 rolls of Kraft/red/white/gold, three red/kraft ribbons, red and gold rafia and two types of tags. My aim is not to use the same combination on two presents.... I am in wrapping heaven

So glad to know I am not the only one who loves to wrap!
