Hi everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying blogmas so far. At this point in December, I am just starting to wrap everyone's gifts! Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who knows how to wrap because I end up doing all my families wrapping (apart from my own of coarse) so today I thought I would share with you my top tips for wrapping and how to afford all the decorations too! Enjoy!
Top 3 Tips:
Patients - If you rush wrapping gifts they will look just look messy, so take your time and concentrate.
Stick to a routine -Everyone wraps differently, but stick to your routine otherwise you will mess up.
Give yourself enough time - If you try and wrap so many gifts in so little minutes it won't work. Start wrapping your gifts when you have a spare hour or two, and that way you have enough time to make each gift perfect.
How to Wrap on a Budget:
The best shops for...
Wrapping paper - Costco for two designs in one and lots of it. Or Primark for super cute designs, both are super affordable.
Gift Bags - Poundland are the best, they do three small bags for £1 and other great offers. They also have cute designs and are super sturdy for super cheap.
Gift tags and ribbon - Home Bargains have the most variety and they are well priced. You can also buy lots in bulk to last you longer.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know if you are good at wrapping as I would be very interested! Have a great day!

Haha I think I'm the same as you, everyone gets me doing theirs! Literally, I was off school today and ended up doing all my papas wrapping, not that I mind though as it makes me feel so Christmassy haha X
ReplyDeleteI am exactly the same but I have to buy the gifts too, even if they aren't off me.

What a great post idea! I found Wilko had some lovely wrapping paper and accessories, a lot of it is 3 for 2 as well! This year I went for brown paper with candy cane striped twine and bog-standard white tags- I love how it looks!
