I think I love holiday wrapping paper and ribbon almost as much as I love the presents! Here are some online sources that you may not have come across.
Here’s a fun gift wrap fact: 44,000 miles of new ribbon (more than enough to wrap around the planet) that shoppers wouldn’t have to buy if we all reused just 2 feet of ribbon from previous years. (From Real Simple)
Christmas bags are by far the fastest and easiest way to gift wrap! This site has a great selection ranging in price from $4.50 – $8.00. And, we love the scalloped tissue paper! $6.00 for 24 sheets.
These bright foil envelopes come in thirteen different sizes. They have a peel and seal closure and are great for holiday party favors, small presents, and anything you need to mail during the holidays. They are sturdy and water-resistant and come in six colors. Prices range from $0.95 to $3.00.
These ‘presents’ gift tags are adorable. They come 10 in a package for $7.00. They are 3.5” x 2”.
I think this Dachshund Christmas Wrapping Paper is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! One 22’X 34” is $3.75.
This penguin paper is $7.50 for two 23” x 30” sheets that come rolled up for shipping.
Then there are the matching gift cards that are equally delightful. They can also be used as place cards. Each card is 2.5” x 3.5”. Six cards and red envelopes come in a box for $7.00.
I’m also quite taken with this Santa’s Sleigh paper from the same source. $7.50 for two 20” x 30” sheets.
These mesh drawstring bags are a quick and easy way to wrap. Add some tissue paper and you’re good to go. These bags are 8” and a set of twelve is $10.00.
These Snowman bags are great. They are 3.75” x 9” and come with 6” jute ties. Twelve bags for $8.99.
This red and white cotton twill ribbon is very festive. It is ¾” wide. 10 yards is $7.50.
This red glitter tape can easily replace ribbon, and it’s a lot easier to put on! This roll is ⅜” wide and 3 yards long. One roll is $6.05.
