December Magic: Top 10 Gift Wrapping Ideas

While Christmas Day is only a few hours away, some of you may be struggling with wrapping the gifts you bought for your dear ones. There are so many fun and creative ways to do this: the traditional gift wrapping paper and bow way or some more unconventional ways including sticks, plants and cutout paper. Here is my top 10 list of best gift wrapping ideas (in no particular order):

1. Plain wrapping paper - handwritten and decorated

2. Colorful bows and thread over plain paper

3. Colorful paper and cutout name labels

 4. Using cutout letters as labels

5. Wrapped in newspaper and bound with plain thread and bow

6. Buttons and card labels

6. Traditional Christmas colors: gold with a hint of sweet with a candy cane wrapped into the bow

7. Lace details

8. Using sticks and leaves

 9. Cutout Christmas tree ornaments

 10. Cardboard box with a twist

How do you usually do the wrapping by yourself or at the shop? Which one of these styles do you prefer?
