5 Ways to Wrap your Gifts with Holiday Love

For many of us, wrapping gifts is almost as exciting as picking out the perfect gifts. There are TONS of ways you can get creative and add your own festive flair to your gift wrapping. You can use any one of these ideas for every gift, mix and match for a fun combination of any two or choose all five tips to really make your gifts dazzle! Whatever you choose, Simply Stamps is here to help you add a little extra love to all of your gifts in affordable and simple ways.

Tip #1: Add a little Foliage

Choose pine cones, fall leaves or the trimmings from your Christmas tree! Whatever you pick, it’ll add a sweet flare to your gift that everyone will enjoy! The best part – most of us can find these items in our yards or in the living room. All you’ll need is a simple ribbon to tie around the gift. Find the best way to securely tie the piece of foliage down then wrap your ribbon around the gift, using it to hold the piece in place (for larger pieces you may want to use a small dot of clear glue).

Tip #2: Tag your Gifts with a Craft Stamp

For this little trick, all you’ll need is ribbon, card stock and a festive, craft stamp! Simply Stamps has all kinds of craft stamps perfect for the holidays. Once you’ve picked out your favorite stamp, just cut out the card stock in whichever shape you’d like (it doesn’t have to be perfect!), cut a small hole in each and finally, stamp each tag. Use ribbon to tie each tag onto your gifts. Bonus tip: this idea goes perfectly with tip #1!

Tip #3: Add an Ornament

In the same way you can add a piece of foliage to your gifts, you can also add an ornament! But ornaments are even easier since they’re designed with the perfect circular piece to be attached to presents. You can use a hand-me-down ornament from the years before or purchase an ornament from Simply Stamps' holiday page (fully customize them with names and/or photos)!

Tip #4: Glitter Tape!

This tip is super easy, inexpensive and perfect to add a fun touch to any gift. First, you’ll need clear, double-stick tape and your favorite glitter! After wrapping your gift, press one side of the tape into the glitter and continue rolling out the tape until you have a long enough piece. Wrap the tape around the gift, pressing firmly to make sure it sticks and you’re finished. Easy and beautiful!

Tip #5: Stamped Gift Wrap

Design any envelope or wrapping paper to your liking with a craft stamp! There are plenty of festive stamps to choose from that will add an elegant but “home-made” touch to your holiday gifts. Cover the paper in a fun design or stamp it once for simplicity – either way it’s a unique way to decorate your gifts. Bonus tip: this idea goes perfectly with tip #4!

We hope these holiday gift wrapping hacks inspired you to add a little love to each gift this year. Happy wrapping! And Happy Holidays to you and yours, from Simply Stamps!
