OK so I am really guilty of using a good ol’ gift bag with matching tissue and calling it good. However, I do love wrapping paper. The patterns and colors totally pull me in. I also love ribbon and bows. So much fun I can hardly stand it. However, my cat would eat said pretty ribbons. Bags also travel well and we do travel with a lot of gifts at Christmastime. Whatever your style — gather the below supplies and get to work! 
- Tape
- Scissors
- Assorted paper {be green when possible! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — there are various sites that sell Eco friendly wrapping paper.}
- Gift bags
- Tissue Paper
- Garment Boxes
- Gift Tags {I am making my own this year using a simple square and circle punch and scraps of paper from various projects I have done}.
Another tip? Stock up on these items at the end of the season. Then you will have them for next year but will have paid half the price. I always do this.
Now for my dream ideas of a gift wrapping station {seriously — I wish!}
Pottery Barn
And there you have it — dream vs. reality! What is your gift wrapping style?
Add some ribbon on the list!
Of course a must
And I forgot to add that .. Thanks Lynn!
