I like to make an effort when wrapping presents. Tying gifts up with string and decorating them with fancy tags is just something I really enjoy. I find it’s a wonderful festive activity and it’s something I look forward to every year. I like to sit in front of my twinkling tree whilst Christmas songs play and get my wrap on.
This year inspired by our first REAL tree I decided to go for a natural look, kind of inspired by The White Company catalogue.
Brown and White with hints of foliage and the odd sparkle. I cut a few sprigs off of the back of my tree to use as greenery and I love the finished result.
Rosalie helped me to stamp on the names of our family and friend’s so it was a lovely Christmas craft activity that we could do together. Even if she did keep messing up the order of my alphabet stamps! The stamping kit was less than £10 on eBay and I know we will get lots of use out of it in the future.
I bought the wrapping paper and ribbon from various places but nothing cost more than a few pound and most were bought in the 3 for 2 offer. I have linked all that I could find online down below so if you like what you see you can buy it too.

12th December 2016 at 11:36 PMHow beautiful do those gifts look? It’s almost a shame to open them as they look so pretty. I like to make a bit of an effort with wrapping gifts at Christmas too, my husband thinks it’s a waste of time but I do think it’s all about the presentation.
