Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String

And the present wrapping has officially commenced...



My go-to paper this holiday season is from The Dollar Store.  (Yes, you read that right.)

I was so excited to find rolls of Kraft paper at the Dollar store that I swooped in and picked up a dozen.



I love that, with the addition of a few office supplies (and maybe a sparkly embellishment or two)...

A roll of brown paper becomes something special.

And if you get really lucky (like I did when I found this velvet ribbon at Marshall's)...


You can really gussy things up.

So, I've got to ask:  what's your favorite paper this holiday season?

  2. So pretty! My favorite gift wrap came from World Market last year. It looked a lot like this but had gnomes on it. It was precious. I love simple present wrapping with ribbons and tags.

    Deleted first comment because I still such at HTML.

  4. WOW. Your presents (and pictures) look AMAZING. Is that your real handwriting or is that picmonkey :). That velvet ribbon is beautiful...save it from being thrown away as gifts are being opened. Love everything about your presentation.

  5. How did I miss craft paper at the Dollar Store??? Total score on the ribbon from Marshalls too! 10 yards? 2 colors?? Awesome! Your packages are beautiful! Last year, after Christmas, I took a piece of every Christmas ribbon I had and bought paper to match it, so I'm excited to have all of that matchiness going on this year!

  7. Brown paper is my go to year round. It's so much fun. I love your ribbon that you chose. I did not know they sold it at the dollar store. I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks for sharing, Elena. :)

  8. Beautiful! This year there will be lots of presents wrapped in a pink/lime green combo, pink/silver combo, or just straight up pink. After nearly 10 years of Thomas the Train and GI Joe wrapping paper...pink is getting used as much as possible!
