I’m in love with all the ones wrapped in brown paper bags, just dressed up a little! Love the rustic feel of them.

Cute! I love the plain paper with crayons. Feeling slightly guilty that every single present I’m giving is in a re-used gift bag…although I guess it’s good for the environment!

Really adorable ideas! Better than my plain old Target wrapping paper ; )

I love to wrap presents! I use plain old wrapping paper and ribbons. Next year I’ll have to try something new!

I have a Pintrest board like this, too! Sadly, for the first time ever, I think my Christmas wrapping will be 100% gift bags, as I can’t imagine having time to actually wrap.

So fun!! I love the car on top and the mini muffins in the egg carton — genius!

I would LOVE to receive a gift that is wrapped up like any of these! It would almost be too pretty to open!

Wow to the WOW!! Thanks for all these gorgeous ideas you assembled all in one place.
Super nice.
And the herbs…and the polka dots…and…..
I love so many of them but my absolute ‘must do’s are the racetrack and the crayons!

These are lovely. I wish I were giving more gifts to non-kids who would actually appreciate the wrapping

These are so creative and beautiful! I am so old fashioned and love regular wrapping paper and curling ribbon.
I do try to find new, fun ribbons when they’re on sale, though.
The one with the dots and the Starbucks cup are my favorites.

love these! any ideas on where to get kraft paper?
I just bought the brown wrapping paper from target to personalize and love it but I’m sure kraft paper would be cheaper. I love the more old fashioned styles!
Bakers twine and washi tape have become gift wrapping staples in this house as well.

you can usually get kraft paper at dollar stores… michaels has huge rolls of it as well, and ikea sells a nice lightly striped kraft paper!

Love these! I wrap Christmas presents in dressed up kraft paper every year (I have a thing for “brown paper packages tied up in string”). I’m going to have to file away the doily one for next year.
@mrs. pen, brown postal paper is cheap and readily available wherever they sell envelopes usually (target, walmart, etc). I’ve even gotten some at Big Lots. Since I use it every year, I bought 1000′ roll of kraft paper from Amazon (not a typo. I really meant a thousand feet) for $30.

I always love looking at all of these wrapping techniques. I have never seen anyone I know do it IRL though! I have already wrapped our gifts for this year so maybe I will start next year!

Ugh, I’m a stick it in a gift bag girl. I have no wrapping talent and it’s worse than ever this years since I’m 37.5 weeks now.

Because of your post, I actually did the car one based on the pic. I added a stop sign. It was a hit with the 3 year old birthday boy. Thanks!!

@808love: awesome! i totally want to do that the next time I give a boy a gift!

These are great! I had to giggle at the one with the presents under the tree that had all the letters/initials. All of my children’s names begin with an A… and so does my granddaughter’s and her father. LOL… I would think it was funny and maybe my younger children would as well. I’d have to have secret codes. I know! Each person could have their own color.
