Wrapping Ideas
Scotch Removable Double Sided Tape - $5.61 » While we love the look of brightly colored strips of washi tape holding a package together, there's also something to be said for going professional — a la Martha — and opting for carefully concealed double-sided stickies instead.
Tailor's Shears - $18.00 » TOOLS OF THE TRADE A good pair of scissors can be the difference between a perfectly wrapped gift and something that looks like the dog chewed it over. Make sure yours is the former with these brassy shears
Cavallini Vintage-Style Christmas Stickers - $14.95 » These stickers have a classic, vintage Christmas feel to them. Use a few to decorate your presents for a wink of playful nostalgia.
Vintage Glass Ball Set - $28.00 » The crackled finish gives this set of ornaments the appearance of heirlooms used on trees for years and years
Garland Gift Tags - $7.50 » The sweet designs from Rifle Paper Co. have a timeless quality to them, and these tags with their mistletoe illustration are no exception.
'Happy Holidays' Custom Calligraphy Gift Tag Rubber Stamp - $45.00 » If your handwriting leaves something to be desired, this gift tag stamp could be a sound investment. Fancy lettering is hard, but ink this bad boy up, press it on the tag of your choice, and you'll look like a pro in no time. Now, to find someone to write in the names ...
Plush Velvet Ribbon Trim in Classic Red - $0.98 » A soft velvet ribbon as pretty as this is almost a gift in and of itself. Use two different colors to tie in with whatever holiday theme you've got going.
Wool Felted Acorn Ornaments by Angel Dog Designs - $14.00 » A felted acorn or two would make a charming addition to your bow.
Conifer Stamp Set - $13.00 » I like that this little pine cone stamp set isn't holiday specific. Use it any time in the colder months for embellishing kraft wrap or creating cards.
Multi Dots Suitcases - $8.00 » If there's anything better than a present, it would have to be a present inside another present. These cardboard suitcases come in enough sizes to hold a range of items, and the spotted interior makes for a sweet surprise as well.
Lama Li Handmade Paper, Gold Polka Dots - $7.25 » When it comes to Christmas decor, there's typically a camp for playful and exuberant (think big lights in every color of the rainbow and handmade ornaments) and a camp for classic and elegant (white lights, gold and green ornaments, etc). Happily, this spotted wrapping paper will work for both styles.
Felt Bundles from Wollfilz - $23.00 » This bundle of felt in holiday-themed colors would be perfect for your handmade garland. Or use the different shades to create bows and other toppers for every gift on your list.
No time to cut out a paper snowflake for every present on your list? Use a doily instead! Place one directly under your knotted string or bow, or wrap it around the side of the gift to give it an artful look.
You can use any swath of fabric you have around the house to make your own.
Horizontal Roll Paper Cutter - $41.00 » Even with sharp scissors, I can never seem to get a straight cut off a wrapping paper roll. This is a tad indulgent, but what a helpful piece of equipment to have on hand during the holidays.
