Wrapping gifts can be just as fun as picking them out, and we’ve gathered the best options to make it a breeze. After all, the effort you put into selecting a gift deserves an equally thoughtful presentation. A beautifully wrapped gift can elevate the entire holiday setting, whether you prefer festive, colorful papers or natural, organic styles.

Find a Palette That Speaks to You
With so many holiday wrapping options, starting with a color palette can simplify your choices. It’s often guided by the mood of your holiday decor. Some years we gravitate towards natural, organic, or moody tones, while others years we love a vibrant, festive feel. A classic green palette with a modern twist is another great option—there’s no wrong choice here.

Create Variety
While wrapping paper is a delight on its own, adding variety keeps things fresh. Mixing patterns can add depth, similar to mixing textiles in home decor. We love the refined, vintage feel of textile-inspired papers paired with silk or velvet ribbons for a classic holiday vibe.

Add a Topper
Just as accessories complete an outfit, toppers and ribbons can add the perfect finishing touch to your gifts. From dried greens to brass gift tags, there are endless ways to add a personal flourish. Pro tip: Use flocked wire to secure dried elements to ensure they stay put during holiday festivities.

Tools of the Trade
Gift wrapping doesn’t require expert skills, but a few reliable tools can elevate the process. A sharp pair of scissors or a handy paper cutter, plenty of tape, and boxes for those tricky shapes will set you up for success. For the full festive experience, light a holiday candle and play your favorite holiday tunes. Happy wrapping!
