Price Points: Imaginative gift wrap

Imaginative gift wrap | H is for Home

For many years, we have used plain brown paper on our Christmas and birthday presents. However, sometimes the occasion calls for more imaginative gift wrap. Perhaps it’s a special anniversary, Valentines surprise or even a marriage proposal.

I still love using brown paper packaging; so maybe I’d jazz it up with some of this cute gold washi tape.

The gold marbled gift bags look so luxe. There’d surely be something fabulous hiding inside, nestled in a froth of coloured tissue paper.

I also love the idea of the beautifully decorative furoshiki – and it’s reusable!

Christmas wrapping paper options

This week, our online ordered presents have begun arriving with a knock at the door by the postman. I’m rubbish at hiding them until the big day so they generally get wrapped and put under the tree straight away in readiness for the big day.

We have a metallic, copper-coloured tree and we like our Christmas wrapping paper, ribbon and bows to coordinate (is that a sad thing to admit? 😐 ). We usually buy 3-metre rolls of plain brown paper; but looking online recently, we discovered that you can get a 35-metre roll for not much more!

  1. Personalised Christmas Baubles set of three wrapping paper sheets by Abigail Warner: £15.00, Selfridges
  2. WHSmith Green Woodland Animals Christmas wrapping paper 3m (Pack of 2 rolls): £4.89, WH Smith
  3. Kraft brown paper roll 750mm x 35m: £4.52, The Post Office
