I keep typing jokes about rapping vs. wrapping. Can you tell I'm tired? I'm ready for a little break from my Christmas break. But before that - I need to finish getting the gifts wrapped! You too? Here are my ideas for making your presents a little more fun.
:: Fun Tags ::
- Hot glue a vintage light bulb to the top of the package and write the name on using permanent marker
- Forget traditional ribbon and use string! Bakers string is cheap and can be bought in bulk. Plus it has loads of other uses
- Stamp the receivers initials on kraft paper and skip the tag all together
:: Tips ::
1. Buy good wrapping paper. Buy a simple color in bulk and use it year 'round
2. Buy good ribbon. Cheap ribbon makes terrible bows. Save and iron to use again the next year - or two years later.
3. Think outside of the box on colors - you don't have to use red and green. Pick a favorite color or something that matches your house and have fun!
4. Make your tags interesting and reusable. I put the year on mine and they become ornaments for the next year.
