Let's talk about the very real struggle around this time -- not only do I occasionally forget about Christmas presents entirely, I often come across absolutely perfect presents around May, buy them, forget about them, then descend into a pre-Christmas panic about purchasing another present. Such is the life of a non-Virgo.
While I would love to be one of those people who wraps incredible presents, complete with custom hangtags, spray painted pinecones and wire ribbon -- I'm just not. I love the look of kraft paper with simple adornments (black ribbon obvs), but I'm presented with another progblem. I lack the ability to wrap anything that's not a rectangular prism of sorts, so I've come up with a few ways to accommodate those gifts that find equally as appealing as brown paper and ribbon.
Click on the video above to watch on YouTube -- I've found a delicious replacement for tissue paper, an alternative to wrapping paper, and a subtle upgrade to my usual kraft and ribbon song and dance.
Eeee another excellent video!!! Loved this one so much, not less because I SUCK SO BAD AT WRAPPING! Actually I finally got good enough this year not to feel like a total failure, but still, I can only manage the MOST BASIC wrapping ever! There is no style to be spoken of whatsoever :p
ReplyDeleteOmg im super impressed with people who can adorn their gifts with little holiday paraphernalia!
DeleteGreat video! Thanks for the chocolate idea. I definitely just put the present in the bag and pile in a bunch of tissue paper. Haha.
