CHRISTMAS | HOLIDAY GIFT WRAPPING

Start with crisp, quality paper and sharp folds, then add a coordinating ribbon and a gift tag. Keep the color story simple, two or three papers and one or two ribbons, so a stack of gifts looks cohesive. A finishing touch like greenery, a bow, or a small ornament makes it feel special.

A standard roll covers roughly five to eight medium gifts, so plan on a couple of rolls for an average family Christmas and more if you wrap for extended family. Buying coordinating papers in a couple of patterns gives you flexibility while keeping everything looking intentional.

The essentials are wrapping paper, tape, scissors, ribbon, and gift tags. From there, trimmings like twine, greenery, and small ornaments take a gift from finished to beautiful. A flat, clear surface and a few coordinating papers make wrapping faster and more fun.
