Appearance is key.....

We all know were guilty of it...We never put any thought or love into the wrapping of a gift.  I usually just throw it into a bag with some tissue paper, write my name on a card and call it a day.


When really the wrapping is the first thing you see...It's like a first date...you see the appearance of the person first and how they present themselves...how can a gift get any credibility if it is not wrapped beautifully?!

Lets start with some unique and hand made name tags...look at how great these are!  These are much more elegant than the usual holiday sticky name tags, that have the picture of a snowman or a Christmas tree.  Imagine what the receiver will think before even seeing the gift! (Images via ETSY)

The name tags usually attach or are in the general area as the bow.  Bows are so tacky and ugly looking.  Sticking a big red bow on a gift just says BORING.  How about placing a nice flower, or even a little snowflake instead of a bow.  Looks so beautiful with the name tags! (Images via ETSY)

 

And look at this wrapping paper that is out there! These are hand drawn/painting paper! Move over boring old Santa, snowflakes, and Christmas tree wrapping paper!  This wrapping paper is sure to catch every eye it crosses! (Images via ETSY)

Put a little more effort into the wrapping of the gifts you give your loved ones, and do something different!  It's sure to make a long lasting impression! 

I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday! 

Enjoy!
