We are approaching that time of year: from Thanksgiving hostess gifts to Hanukkah and Christmas gifts, the gift giving season is almost upon us. On top of it being the holiday season, there will also be birthdays and anniversaries and weddings and new babies. Gift giving opportunities will be everywhere. Once you have spent the time to thoughtfully pick out (or create!) the perfect gift, consider creating DIY gift wrap instead of the go-to gift bag option.
Wrap It Up
I’m guilty I admit it . . . in the past, I have been a gift bagger. I have taken a well-thought-out gift, put it in a solid color bag and then concealed it by adding a heaping helping of tissue paper on top. Efficient, yes. Inspiring, not so much. It doesn’t exactly scream “open me first!” and inevitably your gift disappears into a sea of similarly wrapped presents. The next time you have a gift to wrap, try creating your own gift bag or create your own origami gift box! Think outside the box with 1 (or 2) of these 10 DIY gift wrapping ideas.

Top It Off
Now that you have created your DIY gift wrap, are you going to add a bow left over from a bag of bows you purchased last Christmas or are you going to top off your gift with a fun and fabulous DIY gift topper? If you still want to add a bow, consider making a recycled magazine bow or a fun paper bow. If you want to take the presentation of your gift to the next level, try one of these 10 DIY package toppers.
