The holidays are just around the corner, and if you’re not a fan of last-minute scrambling, now’s the time to start thinking about gifts and how to wrap them. Finding a creative yet easy way to package presents can be challenging, so we’ve put together some simple and modern ideas for you.
Traditional Christmas colors like red, green, and white are always a hit. If you want your gifts to have that classic festive vibe, these are your go-to colors. Mix and match them however you like for a beautiful, thematic look.
A current trend is using plain brown paper for wrapping. To add a personal touch and keep the Christmas spirit, try drawing something on the paper and using themed colors for accents. A thin ribbon can give it a classic feel. Plus, brown paper works well with just about any color combination.
Paper bags are another great option with a wide variety available. Add a handmade touch or a unique accent, like a small wooden snowflake or Christmas tree, to make it stand out. You could also personalize it with a small card featuring the recipient’s name. Adding colorful tissue paper inside the bag can give your gift a creative and modern finish.
If you’re short on time, gift boxes are an excellent choice. They’re ready-made and can be found in most Christmas shops and boutiques. They look beautiful and are perfect for those in a rush. However, if you have some extra time, you could create your own boxes, allowing you to select the materials, colors, and design.
If you have multiple gifts to place under the Christmas tree, consider using matching wrapping paper for a cohesive look. Use the same ribbon across different papers but keep to one color palette.
Wrapping and getting your gifts ready is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the holiday season. Make time to savor this activity, be creative, experiment, and immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit. Have you gotten your holiday gifts ready yet? How about wrapping them up?
