When prepping for this roundup, Iimagined I’d find hundreds if not thousands of gift wrap and gift tag ideas. I was right. Picking just a sample of all that I found proved to be overwhelming. But, I turned on my internal editor and got to work. My criteria for including the ones I have? Something about the images had to make me pause as I clicked through. A clever use of materials, something I hadn’t seen before or just the sheer loveliness of object.
First, the wrapping:
Country Living’s newsprint package is not only clever but gorgeous:
Martha’s winter scene is simple yet elegant:
My Home Idea’s Christmas Vacation package, using a vintage suitcase is crazy cool:
This Paper Snow Star package from Christmas Magazine, appeals to the origami fan in me:
The button bow on this package from parents.com sealed the deal:
And from the Curbly vaults, we have these ideas….
My folded felt gift box for tiny treasures,
and my covered Take-Away container,
and from our sister-site (or should that be ‘brother-site’?), ManMade’s Typographical Gift Wrap,
Now for the gift tags:
Oh so very Curbly are Martha’s paint swatch tags:
Martha’s Typewritten tags make so much sense, they had to be included in the list:
Domestifluff’s downloadable Wintry Holiday tags are charming:
These tags, from Ink & Post, were made out of pre-printed paper shopping bags from Trader Joe’s:
Tracy Porter’s printable gift tags pack a colorful punch:
Miniature Rhino’s gift tag tutorial will get your sew on:
Okay, those are the ones that jumped out at me, now I invite you to go forth and check out all the ones that didn’t make the roundup. (This list will keep you busy through NEXT Christmas.)
