Gift wrapping is more than just a finishing touch; it’s a way to set the tone for the joy of giving. This year, we leaned into playful, pattern-mixing and added some homemade flair to make every gift extra special. Here’s how we’re wrapping up the season in style.
When it comes to wrapping paper, we love pairing unexpected patterns for a layered and polished look. Think plaid with block prints, bold stripes with delicate florals, or a classic gingham paired with solid accents. We found a treasure trove of unique designs on Etsy this year, from hand-painted prints to eco-friendly kraft paper with whimsical holiday motifs. These designs offer a mix of modern and vintage vibes that feel one-of-a-kind.
DIY Gift Tags: Rosemary Wreaths and Dried Oranges
What’s a beautiful package without a thoughtful tag? This year, we made two types of homemade tags that are as pretty as they are easy to craft.
Rosemary Wreath Tags
These tiny wreaths are the epitome of holiday elegance. All you need are sprigs of fresh rosemary, floral wire, and a bit of ribbon or twine. Bend the rosemary into a circle, secure with wire, and attach to a plain tag for a fragrant and festive touch.
Dried Orange Tags
For a natural, rustic vibe, dried orange slices make stunning gift tags. Simply dry thin slices of orange in the oven, punch a hole at the top, and thread through twine. You can pair them with kraft paper or neutral-toned wraps for a warm, organic look. Bonus: They smell amazing!
