Okay, I know we go a little crazy with all things holiday this time of year, but Jenn and I are both former craft bloggers with a penchant for gifting, stationery, and all things sparkly, so we go all out. I even plan my own craft parties each year to celebrate all of the above.
Preparing the perfect package for gifts is actually a therapeutic activity for me. I spend a lot of time picking out the perfect gifts (read: overthinking), so I want the outside to be just as exciting. I also love when a gift just sticks out from the bunch. Beautiful wrapping paper, cute embellishments, fancy ribbon, and handmade gift tags are just a few ways I love to take them up a notch. Wouldn’t the ornaments below make lovely gifts-slash-gift-wrap, for example?

Luckily, there are so many options to make gifting beautiful these days. Pretty much all of our favorite stationery brands have their own selection of gift wrap designs, and even some of the illustrators we follow on Instagram do too, like Chloe Hall out of the UK (so good!).
Are you team wrapping paper or gift bags? There are some pretty fabulous gift bags out there, but I couldn’t possibly part with my paper.
