Need some easy and frugal gift wrapping inspiration this Christmas<\/a>?<\/em><\/p>\n Whether you’re team gift wrap or team gift bag, sometimes it’s fun to wrap something special and put a little thought into it. I must admit I fall somewhere in between. And while I often just grab cute gift bags from Dollar Tree<\/a>, there are other times when I’m in the mood to get a little more creative when wrapping a present.<\/p>\n Here are a few festive and easy ideas to use as gift-wrapping inspiration this Christmas! I like that they’re inexpensive and simple to accomplish, too. I think pretty wrapping paper can make any gift, big or small, seem AMAZING!<\/p>\n Have a stash of decorative washi tape<\/a>? Here’s a great opportunity to incorporate it into your Christmas gift wrapping!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Have a fresh Christmas tree or wreath? Clip some extra greenery from a wreath or fresh tree for a frugal and easy present topper that looks elegant!<\/p>\n To get this look:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Have pretty greeting cards from years past? The front of paper cards can be re-purposed into really cute tags or present toppers, especially the fun 3-dimensional cards with paper embellishments!<\/p>\n To get this look:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Have any leftover fabric or a pretty dish towel? This is a beautiful and sustainable way to wrap a gift! Here’s a bottle of wine wrapped in a festive dishtowel<\/a>, featured above. This would make a great hostess gift!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Have some doodling skills? Don’t laugh at mine, featured above! HA. 😆 I love this cute bottle brush tree<\/a> embellishment idea! So fun.<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is a great idea if you have a soft item like a scarf, socks, or other clothing to gift! Stapling two pieces of wrapping paper to make a shape is a fun and clever way to conceal the present inside!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Get this super cute-looking Rudolph wrap by using a red craft pom<\/a> and common household items you’re likely to have on hand already! I re-purposed my kids’ roll of drawing paper<\/a> as gift wrap, but if you have a roll of kraft paper<\/a> on hand that could work also.<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jumbo storage jars<\/a> make excellent gift “wrapping” because you can fill them with whatever you’d like, just like a gift basket. They look so pretty when presented as a gift, and they can be used over and over by the recipient after Christmas too!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If you love giving Starbucks gift cards<\/a>, this is such a cute way to do it! I hid a gift card inside a Frappuccino cup filled with Hershey’s Almond Chocolate Kisses<\/a> because they were sort of a coffee color, but you could definitely use any candy you think your recipient would like!<\/p>\n To get the cups, I told my barista what I was planning to do and she was happy to give me one free empty Frappuccino cup for every gift card I purchased. This may vary by location, so you might want to call ahead to your local Starbucks to see if they’ll be willing to send you home with a few empty cups!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Know someone with a sweet tooth? Top a gift with their favorite candy for a sweet and easy gift topper that also makes a yummy bonus gift! If you struggle with tying ribbons as I do, try using curling ribbons<\/a> and run your scissors along the ends to curl them. It looks festive, it’s super easy, and it hides the fact that you didn’t tie the perfect bow!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Your local hardware store has a unique gift wrapping option to consider—empty paint cans<\/a>! I got mine for around $3 each at Lowe’s<\/a> and filled it with a couple of cute mugs and hot cocoa supplies for a friend. You can download the Merry & Bright printable image that I used here<\/a> for free!<\/p>\n I just love how this gift idea turned out – so cute, easy, and festive!<\/p>\n To get this look: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Need a funny\/silly gift wrapping idea for that person who always has their gifts unwrapped in record time? Try wrapping their gift and then tying it up with some plastic zip ties<\/a>! That ought to slow them down, and it’s one sure way to draw out the suspense of what’s inside! Ha! 😁<\/p>\n What are you<\/em> wrapping this year?
