Holiday Help: Gift Wrapping

I've made a decision regarding gift wrapping: no more bags with tissue. I know it is the easy way to go, and I'm not positive that I'll never do it again - it is just so nice to receive a gift that is nicely wrapped! That extra touch goes a long way and this holiday season, I'm going to work on my wrapping skills. I searched Pinterest for some inspiration (check out my Christmas and Winter Wear boards) and wanted to share a few of my favorite finds.

I love the combination of textures, colors and a natural touch on this one. Get the details here.

The combination of kraft paper and different patterns (all in the same color!) with a touch of sparkle keeps things interesting and fun under the tree. Details here.

This one is probably the most complicated. But grab several different kinds of ribbon and you could do each package differently by person. Here's how.

I love this for small gifts. You can make the snowflakes with folded copy paper, just like we did when we were little (good for kids to help with too!). Source here.
