– Bring Joy to the Recipient with a Beautiful Presentation – Make the wrap & presentation a part of the gift and factor it into the cost of the present.
– Simple is Beautiful – Use plain wrap for a more dramatic look. Choose a simple color scheme of two or three hues and try wrapping a group of gifts in those coordinated colors. Think “outside of the box”. You don’t even have to use “Christmas wrap” for your holiday packages. Sometimes I look in the wedding section for plain wrap!
– Purchase Ribbon on Large Rolls – Look for wired ribbon at the big membership stores (They often have 50 yards for about $10—that will last a long time!). Again, for more drama choose the simple ribbon without patterns (no poinsettias!)
– Don’t Scrimp – Be generous with ribbon yardage. The ribbon from the gifts to your own immediate family can be stored and re-used next year. (When recycling ribbon, a little touch-up with an iron can make it look new again).
– Embellish – Use all kinds of ornaments, berries, etc., for even more pizzazz. Shop the after-Christmas sales and save your finds for next year!
– Other Tips – Use clear tape-not cloudy! Wrap as tightly as possible. Crease the paper around the edges or corners of the wrap. Use candy on children’s gifts. Don’t worry about wrapping large, bulky items-put a big, pretty bow on a bicycle for instance.
