Christmas Wrapping Round-Up
Christmas wrapping paper styles to coordinate with your tree and decor
It’s finally December and I’m ready for the holidays full swing!! Since I spend so much time making our Christmas trees look perfect I CANNOT have ugly presents underneath my tree. It will drive me insane. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite wrapping looks with links for where to get the items. A few tips before you get started shopping:
Places to look for good deals first:
Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls always have an amazing assortment of wrapping papers
Target’s “sugar paper” line is a big favorite of mine
Dollar tree has large rolls of brown kraft paper for $1. I keep this stocked ALL the time. It canbe used for any presents
Michaels always has plain white wrapping paper stocked even when its not the holidays
Always get a few solids
I like to mix in white with pretty much every style. It always goes and gives a break from the “christmas explosion” under the tree
Get solids that go with your color scheme for the year
Mix prints!
I like to get a few rolls of a big/bold print and a few rolls with a smaller, more detailed print so they aren’t all loud and competing
Ribbon! Ribbon! Ribbon!
I like to get a lot of wide ribbon (like 2 inches at least) that has a texture or print to use as a base
Get thinner ribbon in a coordinating color scheme in either a print or texture. Then you can layer ribbons on top of each to make a more finished look.
If you use a solid ribbon as a base, use a printed one on top
I like for my wrapping and ribbon to coordinate with my tree and holiday decor for the year. It ties it everything together and makes a cohesive look. Since my trees are “coastal/prep” look this year, I’m planning the same look for the presents. I like to do a couple solid papers, a couple printed (usually one smallprint and one large print) with different types of ribbon.
Where to get the look:
A natural looking gift wrap works for pretty much any holiday/gift giving time since it doesnt scream “Christmas time”
Where to get the look:
Greenery: any extra picks or stigs from your tree look great tucked in to ribbon with this look
Kraft paper (dollar tree) I use this ALLL the time.
Traditional is probably the easiest type of wrapping paper and ribbon to come by! I still like to use a couple solids and a couple prints, with adding textured ribbons (velvet is my favborite) to give it a luxe feel.
Where to get the look:
Always check Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods first for this type of wrapping paper. They have a ton of tradition colors always and the prices can’t be beat for quality, thick wrapping paper.
Glam christmas wrapping reminds of New Years Eve and “The Great Gatsby”. Very art deco and fancy. Think golds and blacks with rich textures (velvet again lol!)
