I hate wrapping.....ugghhhh.....BUT I am going to *try* really hard this year to make all packages as gorgeous as possible!!! Wish me some serious luck!
I'm the worst at wrapping! I just want it to be over! However, I wish I had the patience to make my packages looks beautiful! I've been obsessed with that second image and those yarn balls are adorable!
Confession time, my hubby does the wrapping. I wish I could wrap like Martha but I can't. Hubby is very precise in his measuring of paper (Hello math geek) and has nice crisp edges. If I could wrap maybe I'd be more inspired to make the packages pretty. Also we are mostly wrapping for four kids, lets be real, all they care about is the gift. Maybe when I'm older I'll wrap pretty gifts. I love the pics, especially the musical paper with bells. So fun! If anyone wants to wrap me a pretty gift, I'd love it! ;)
I love a beautiful package, but despise spending money on the wrapping. This year I bought craft paper on the cheap and i'm just going with that. Some day! xoxo
I especially like the sheet music paper with the big silky bow. If I had the time and the patience, I'd try all these wrapping ideas! I'm lucky if I manage to get the paper on half-straight and a bow on top ;-)
Uggh wrapping :), I haven't even started shopping yet...I know, I am running out of time. I am planning on going natural this year. I love wrapping with natural brown paper and adding a pretty ribbon and sprig of greenery.
I have never heard of A slip shop, will be checking out pronto. I was thinking I would have to get rid of a few dresses casue there a smidge to short, one of their slips could save them.
I'd like to get more creative with my Christmas wrapping, but my hands start hurting after the fifth attempt at a pretty bow. I'm uncreative in the wrapping department. Unwrapping though, now that's where my skills are.
I can't cut a straight line to save my life, which means striped paper (to use as a guide) or solids are my best options. I love the look of brown paper with big bows for a uniform scheme under the tree. However, we are currently showcasing the hodgepodge style of gift wrapping at casa de Cardigan Junkie :)
I love beautifully wrapped packages. I saw a video a while back that suggested using aluminum foil for wrapping a present. That might be an interesting idea...
Last year I was all about rustic wrapping, like the one in the 3rd image. This year I love the idea of simple and elegant. I found a luxurious black paper with a velvety black print and I will use white ribbon for this. I will also go for all-white and white with grey. :) Ada
I love gift wrapping the only part it can be very time consuming. As much as I like the holiday paper from the stores I love the regular old brown paper.
I am just smitten with pretty much all things design. This blog is where I post all the gorgeous inspiration pictures I find and the pictures of my own misguided efforts on my teensy budget! (c: Thanks for dropping by!

Gorgeous. I love all of these but I think I'd get all mad when it came time to open the presents because I wouldn't want people to "ruin the pretty"
Beautiful ideas for wrapping! I am terrible at wrapping presents! I usually revert to the good old bag and tissue paper!

The fanciest I get is adding a bit of ribbon or an ornament. All of these are lovely though!

LOVE the musical ones . . . and the poms. I am sort of addicted to wrapping.
Such cute ideas! I really need to quit my day job and just spend my days crafting, wrapping and baking! Sounds good right?!

Ummm I need to step up my wrapping game. Sad to admit I sometimes shop at places I know provide wrapping....sad!

I'm actually digging the brown paper bag and the newspaper ideas! With festive ribbons.
So glad you covered this. Wrapping is one of those great pleasure of Xmas and almost any holiday! Love the first pic . . .

Oh! My gifts are never that beautifully wrapped. I need to step my game up!
Love, love the aqua!
Few things excite me more than goregous wrapping! No joke. Pathetic I know but I can't help it! :) xoxo
I leave it to my husband because I'm lazy!
Isn't it amazing how any special, even the simplest embellishment makes such a difference!!

I have never heard of A slip shop, will be checking out pronto. I was thinking I would have to get rid of a few dresses casue there a smidge to short, one of their slips could save them.
Now I just feel sad about all the gifts ghetto wrapped under my tree. There's always next year, right??
i need to get my wrapping going... yikes!
I cant stand wrapping gifts. These looks so pretty but I dont have it in me!
I WISH I could wrap like that!
I'd like to get more creative with my Christmas wrapping, but my hands start hurting after the fifth attempt at a pretty bow. I'm uncreative in the wrapping department. Unwrapping though, now that's where my skills are.
This wrapping is so inspirational and fun - so many great ideas - thank you!
What neat ideas! But I am generally too much in a hurry to make my gifts look super pretty!
Love all of these! We actually did a post on bows today! I love love love wrapping :)
Love all these great ideas! Im trying to diy my own tags. So thank you for the inspiration!

I saw the confetti idea on Pinterest, but my only thought is that it would come off and gooo EVERYWHERE! That and glitter always works too!

I'm really loving that wrapping with the gold tassel!
