It's officially get your a** in gear week when it comes to all things Christmas. Every year I play a little game where I tell myself I'll wrap all of my gifts early but what I really mean is that I'll wait until the night of Christmas Eve to get started. There's nothing like a little stress + pressure to really spice up the holidays, no? I'm only half kidding because I have wrapped a few gifts but inevitably will leave the rest until Christmas Eve.
There's also an order to things. The earlier the gifts are wrapped, the prettier they look. There's also usually wrapping paper and tags involved. By the ninth inning, you're looking at a gift bag and some recycled tissue. Right now we're in the early stages where things are semi-pretty. This year I've also been going for a boho-festive Christmas theme which makes me feel a little more excited to wrap. We like a fun Christmas vibe, ya know? It adds a little extra *pizzazz* to things.
While I'm still feeling inspired, I thought I'd share with you this little gift wrap vision of mine. I am by no means an expert but best believe I am on my way to becoming a pro gift wrapper! Here's what we're working with. This year my boho-festive Christmas vibe started with these gift tags I found at TJ Maxx (I love these too). I use a lot of pinks + golds with my holiday decor so these were calling my name. They're a tad whimsical with a touch of glam from the gold accents. I also felt like the colors coordinated well with my Christmas cards this year.
Sometimes I will go more sparkle + fancy Christmas but this year I've been feeling the cozy + casual vibe. I originally planned on pairing the tags with a pink glitter wrapping paper before finding this fun 'Fa La La' printed paper. I wasn't 100% sure at first but after wrapping, I love how it looks! It's also a little more relaxed, fun and youthful but it has a really pretty sheen. Now making bows is not my area of expertise but I thought some type of jute or twine as a ribbon would be perfect. I normally go for bows or actual ribbon but the paper + tags needed a little rustic touch. I ended up finding this gold + brown twine which I think works perfectly! It added that little hint of rustic I wanted but the touch of gold adds a little something to bring everything together.
Now to just work on my tying skills!
I love sharing my picks + hauls with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)
