Great Gifts - Simple Wrapping Ideas | Buy Online

Gift giving should be fun and the presentation of the package should be a joy and work of art. Take your gift giving to a new level this year, consider some old fashion favorites that have now been updated. For me, I am going with the brown paper (for savings and the ability to recycle) and some ric rac and some fuchsia raffia. Yes, I said fuchsia raffia. Raffia now comes in every color under the sun including metallic. Holiday trimming does not have to be simply red and green. Yes, red and green are the classics and forever will be the classics. Try mixing it up - add a shocking pink fuchsia on the top of a glass dish of home made cookies (myself, I love the Anchor Hocking TrueSeal in the bright lime green combined with the almost neon fuchsia pink raffia). Or for a simpler touch, red and green yarn. Red and green yarn works on any package.

Ditch the barrels of bows - do something unique this year with your holiday packages and gifts. Mix it up - add new colors, add new types of wrapping materials.

Reuse | Recycle | Renew

Your gifts will look great and be memorable too! Best yet, many of these ideas are reusable. Don't throw out that yarn, ric rac, save and reuse for another year.

Pipe Cleaners and Ink Stampers Not Just for Craft Projects - Great Wrapping Tools

Mix up your wrapping materials and take the brown paper and create your very own design with a ink stamper. Or add in the fun and colorful pipe cleaners. Get your children involved or borrow your friends children to lend fun and frolic to the activity.

Another classic favorite is the red paper with the gold. The gold raffia is wonderful because it adds a splash of light but in the raffia texture, it is more reflective.  The perfect combination to be would be the shiny red wrapping paper with the gold metallic raffia. 

Remember your package doesn't have to be a cardboard box. Add a glass food container and add in your favorite homemade recipe and you have created a fun presentation without breaking the budget.

Enjoy your holiday and remember GmaGoldies's rule to always be frugal - always shop early.
