Holiday Gift Wrapping Ideas to Try this Year
Gift wrapping is one of those things that you either love or hate. For me, it's therapeutic, like doing a puzzle or reading a book. Weird? Maybe.
I love putting time into curating a gift wrapping theme each year and for those of you who are on the opposite end of the spectrum — who just want to get it over with — I think I have the perfect solution to the guesswork out of wrapping.
I put together 7 gift wrapping ideas and themes you can follow, plus also giving you a sneak peek of everything I personally bought this year for my own gifts. Hope this helps!
Looking for more holiday decor? Right this way.
Elegant meets traditional meets vintage floral
Honestly not quite sure how to even categorize my wrapping theme this year, but here it is! I wanted a mix of rich, traditional colors paired with French florals that all tied together really elegantly, and this is what I landed on. Here's how it came to life.
If you're looking for unique wrapping paper, highly recommend checking out Etsy's wrapping selection. Not only are you shopping small, but there are so many cool, different prints if you use the right keywords.
A few of my favorite Etsy shops for gift wrapping ideas:
A Thing Created, Carta Fortuna, Ruby Stripe, House of Parlington
As a rule of thumb, always remember to check the length of the roll you're ordering. You'll always pay a little more from an independent seller versus a Hallmark find, but make sure you know exactly how much you're getting out of your gift wrap!
7 gift wrapping ideas & themes
If you like neutral holiday gift wrapping with a flair, muted florals are a great theme. To add a subtle pop of color, pick a ribbon shade that brings out the patterns in the wrapping!
Pink and green wrapping has a fun, dreamy holiday feel to it. The bow gift tags are a great touch that will really bring this theme to life!
I love holiday wrapping with rustic, earthy tones. This is where where minimalistic and neutral meet festive and chic.
If you just can't choose a theme, traditional wrapping is the way to go! Try subtle greens mixed with brown tones and a pop of color like this deep red velvet ribbon.
Traditional with a retro twist, vintage Santa gift wrapping will bring holiday cheer to your loved ones before their gifts are opened!
Mixing neutrals and gold accents with this cozy theme make the holiday gift wrapping almost too pretty to open!
This theme will help transform your gifts into Parisian elegance! Chic florals, touches of blush pink, and accents of gold create a sophisticated and festive look.
