The Prettier the Package ...

Four playfully retro gift-wrap pairings for the holidays.


If you ask me, what's going outside the box is just as important as what's going in it, which is why every year I spend as much time (if not more) selecting the right gift wrap and ribbon as I do shopping for presents. I've been this way since grade school when I started a small--and quite successful, I might add--neighborhood wrapping business in my living room. And this year, since my budget was especially tight, it was more important than ever to make every gift exciting to open. Below are the four stellar wrap sets that made the final cut.






Set 1: Multicolored Reindeer and Pom-Poms for the Kids














Set 2: Glittery Designs and Ombré Ribbon for the Office












Set 3: Double-Sided Paper and Satin Bows for My Friends












Set 4: Traditional Colors and Old-School Designs for My Family
