Holiday Inspiration {Gift Wrapping}

December 4, 2012 · 4 Comments

Now that the tree has been put up, and the apartment has been trimmed {how to post soon to come} and most of my Christmas gifts already bought, it’s time to get inspired with some gift wrapping ideas. I’ve put some extra thought into the gifts I got my loved ones this year, and it’s only fitting that I put some tender loving care into wrapping them. It’s always so much more special when you put the effort in making something look beautiful, even if it is meant to be ripped open. It’s all about presentation! I find myself drawn to rustic nature touches, one that remind you of Christmas’ long long ago, when it wasn’t such a commercialized holiday. I love the idea of using items right outside your doorway to create this pine cone topper or leaf wreath. Create handmade rustic wreaths or natural toppers from old decorations you may have lying around the house. PicMonkey Collage

I also can’t help but love a vintage snowflake or elegant and white wrapping as pretty as fresh fallen snow. This versatile kraft paper is perfect for creating a silver and gold look. PicMonkey Collage

Of course not all our loved ones prefer an elegant or rustic holiday look, which makes these lovely bows, gold dots and chevron pattern, and pop of fuchsia festive for all ages.

These bags will be the perfect carrier for all the baked goods I plan to share this holiday.

PicMonkey CollageThe final touch on your beautifully wrapped gifts are labels. Say it with cheer, fun rustic colors, or go traditional with these wood type labels.

Happy Wrapping!

      It must be something I inherited from my grandfather, but I enjoy wrapping gifts. Which is why I’m given them all to do.

    […] I’m currently watching The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, one of my dad’s all time favorites, and I’m wondering where my motivation and inspiration to write has been. The reality is, I’ve checked out…not in a bad way. More like a 5 year old little girl lost in a Christmas dream of fa la la la-ing, watching The Polar Express as many times as possible, twinkling lights, and pretty wrappings. […]

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
