As promised many times last week....gift wrap ideas are finally here today! I think that the way a gift is all wrapped up is just as important (well almost) as what is inside. I think it should be thoughtful and inspiring.
This year I started with bits like these that are both vintage and vintage inspired:
I used kraft paper, white boxes, or jars to wrap up most of my gifts. I love kraft paper because it is has such a raw and natural feel to it, you can find it recycled, it's cheap and it provides a great contrast to add sparkly ribbons and additions to. If you don't have kraft paper laying around you can always cut up a paper grocery sack and flip it inside out.
And, I ended up with these:
 |
| [a topiary for my friend Ivy] |
 |
| [cut into a shoe box, wrapped it in kraft paper, tied layers of ribbon over a doily] |
 |

 |
| [layered yarn with a white glittered snowflake, topped with a teeny snowman] |
 |
| [these little boxes of cookies and fleur de sel caramels went to each of the families I work with] |
 |
| [kraft paper wrapped with red layered yarn with glittered thread and topped with vintage angels] |
 |
| [are they just the cutest things?!?! A gift themselves!] |
 |
| [a glittered bag with a kraft paper tag] |
 |
| [jarred chocolate covered bing cherries] |
How about you? What do your gifts look like this year? Have you wrapped them up yet or do you still have lots to go? Do you usually have a theme to your wrapping or do you just wrap away?

I love the jar! The decor is very pretty and you can then reuse the jar for something else
