It's a Wrap

I'm sure you thought I abandoned you for greener pastures readers, but that is the farthest from the truth.  Since I left, I have gotten a new job, moved to a new city, and am going through some huge life changes at the moment.  So, I appreciate your patience.

In case you have not heard, Christmas is only a few days away.  I hope that you are farther ahead with your Christmas shopping/prep than I am (I think maybe i'm in denial).  I'm sure you have completely finished all of you shopping and now all that's needed is a little wrappage and you're all set! 

Everyone has their own gift wrap strategy, but for me, I like a theme for all of my gifts.  I'm still trying to decide my schematic for this year, so I've been perusing pinterest for some gift wrap inspiration.  Maybe you are need some inspiration as well, so here were some of my favorite ideas...

 I love this color scheme, although I might switch the yellow for red to make it a little more festive.  I also am in love with the different yet coordinated ribbons and such.

I did the craft paper theme last year, and these little poms might be just the update for this year!

First of all, I am IN LOVE with that grey/blue with the white!  And I love those little poms with the washi tape...I'm definitely thinking washi tape with be in my gift wrapping future.

I love the burlap newspaper combo, but I am 100% certain I will not be taking the time to spray paint pinecones.  Maybe I'll just buy some?  I know that's not very environmental of me, but time is precious at this point!

Always the crazy one for polka dots, I heart that fabric!  And that is a cute gift tag idea (and probably really inexpensive).

Again with the polka dots! All though I'm not crazy about that puff-string sitch.  And another cute gift tag idea...especially if you had a stamp (which I just happen to have, ha ha!)

I like the red and white with the craft paper, and that candy cane just pulls it all together! It's like a little insurance...if for some reason their gift doesn't work out, at least they have the candy cane!

That ribbon with those leaves is adorabs!  I am a little concerned that in the traveling those leaves might just turn into crumbles and it might look like it was just dropped on the ground!

I like this dolie-ish look with the cutout paper.  Sadly, I cannot see myself really enjoying that cutout process, maybe I could do a more simple cutout...I can already feel my perfectionism rising up just thinking about having to cut those curves.

While I usually do not care for traditional store bought gift wrap, if I were to go that rought, this is definitely what I would do! I just can't resist those polkas!

 

Hopefully this was just enough inspiration to get you movin' in the gift wrap direction, so go out there get to wrapping...those gifts won't wrap themselves!
