5 Tips to Wrap Gifts Like a Pro

The thought is what truly counts, but a crisply wrapped package shows your loved ones just how much time and effort you put into their gifts this holiday season. For a gift that looks like it was wrapped by Santa himself, consider these tips:

  1. Keep supplies together: Each year when you're done wrapping, store your scissors, tape, ribbons, bows and tags together. That way, when it comes time to wrap this season's gifts, you're not searching for each item individually.
  2. Pick the perfect paper: Shop for a few wrapping paper options that complement one another. This aids the appearance of your assortment of presents under the tree, so they provide an array of colors and styles without clashing.
  3. Work in shorter sessions: Rather than trying to wrap all your gifts at once and burning yourself out, make it a fun experience by wrapping 2-3 presents at a time. Add joy to the task by playing your favorite holiday music or turning on a classic movie so it feels more like an exciting tradition than a chore.
  4. Use household items as helpful tools: The neater you can keep your wrapping paper, the sharper it'll look as a finished product. Cut an empty cardboard toilet paper roll down the side then use it as a cuff to wrap around your wrapping paper roll to avoid wrinkling. While you're wrapping, an item as simple as a paper clip can make things easier - use it to mark the end of the tape on the roll or clip it on to the edge of your wrapping paper roll to keep things neat and tidy.
  5. Tag gifts as soon as they're wrapped: Corners that don't seem as crisp as you hoped might be annoying but wrapping a group of gifts only to forget which is which can be downright frustrating. Once the kiddo's newest toy is safely wrapped, make sure to immediately put a gift tag on the package before it's mixed up with grandma's sweater.
