Pair Kraft Paper With Fresh Herbs

The natural sprigs, minimalist tags and striped baker’s twine take this basic paper to the next level.

Use A Silk Scarf To Go Paperless

We’re obsessed with this paper-free wrapping style. All you need is a colorful scarf or furoshiki (Japanese wrapping cloth) to create this eco-friendly presentation. (Also, two presents in one!)

Glue On Embellishments

Branch out of the usual printed paper and choose a sparkly neutral instead. Then glue some mini pom-poms to a twig and you’ve got a delightfully unexpected package. 


Opt For Printed Ribbon

Mini pinecones, gingham ribbon, washi tape and greenery elevate this simple box to vintage-cool status.

Create A Darling Diorama

Relive your childhood and break out the toy cars and trucks to make an adorable wintry scene atop your gift. Chances are it will get a place of honor under the tree.

Embrace "byop"

A fun party idea: Gather your best girls for an evening of wine and gift-wrapping. The theme: Bring your own pom-poms.


Top With A Tiny Tree

This is a fun one for kids. Help them draw a car onto kraft paper and finish it off with a faux snow-dusted Christmas tree.

Personalize It

Gifting a crowd? Shake things up by finishing each package with an initial. Not only will this help you stay organized; it also proves you are the queen of thoughtfulness. (Hint: The letters could also serve as ornaments. Gifts on gifts on gifts.)

Go Glam With Silk Flowers And Feathers

Elegant and unexpected: Pair florals with feathers, a spray of gold berries and twine.
