Gift Wrap: Cotton + Leather

September 17, 2019

Filed Under : Gift Wrap + Packaging


Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors + tape
Handmade wrapping paper (shown in a currently unavailable color)
Olive moss velvet ribbon
Genuine leather tag (shown in mini)
• Cotton floral stem


I am a huge fan of this wrapping paper. It has so much texture and I wish the camera could pick up all the details as the eye does. The one I used is currently unavailable, but there are other neutral colors currently available in the Shop that would work beautifully with all your fall themes.

The leather tag is a spin off from my last gift wrap post with acrylic, but hey, it’s leather! These can be customized with a first name or just an initial.

Gift Wrap: Acrylic Tags

Filed Under : Gift Wrap + Packaging

The fall + winter seasons are fast approaching and I’m already brainstorming all the new things that I want to add to the Shop, which includes these acrylic tags. More styles coming soon, but let’s start with these. Of course, it also means a new gift wrap post featuring other items from my Shop as well.


Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors + tape
Ikat wrapping paper (shown in hunter green)
Metallic gold + natural stripe ribbon
Acrylic tag (shown in clear)


This particular wrapping paper is 100% recycled cotton. Score! It comes in four different colors, all available in the Shop: hunter green, red, black, and cream. The acrylic tags are available in glossy clear, frosted clear, and glossy opaque white. Just slightly obsessing over their understand elegance.

Gift Wrap: Beeswax + Seeds

I do love the idea of using items that can be repurposed when gift wrapping. In this case, we’ve got seeded wrapping paper that can be planted, hand-dipped beeswax candles that can grace a future birthday cake, and the softest crinkle chiffon ribbon for this year’s fall wreath. It’s like winning again and again!


Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors + tape
• Seeded wrapping paper (may be custom ordered in my Shop)
French vanilla crinkle chiffon ribbon
Hand-dipped beeswax candles


Seeded paper can be very stiff and difficult to work with when using it as gift wrap, but it’s so worth it knowing that the life it hosts can be enjoyed well after the party. The particular sheet I used is handmade in Nepal and available as a custom order in my Shop. The chiffon ribbon is new to my Shop (like last week new), so I suppose this is its formal introduction.

Now let’s talk about the candles. Those are just about the cutest little guys I’ve seen and I didn’t have the heart to actually use them once they arrived, so naturally, they joined my styling kit and later inspired this post.

Gift Wrap: Meyer Lemon

December 18, 2018

Filed Under : Gift Wrap + Packaging

During the holiday season, not every present is a Christmas present (we have three December birthdays in the family!) and it’s probably my most favorite “theme” of gift wrapping.

Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors, double sided tape
• Gift box
• Gold polka dot paper (this one is Sugar Paper X Target from last year)
• Dried meyer lemon slices
Black french stripe cotton blend ribbon

FYI: those caramels are from The Caramel Jar and are to die for! I’m hooked.

Gift Wrap: Fallen Leaves

My mama went hunting in my backyard to find these leaves for me and I was amazed at the colors she brought back. Sure, these photos are edited, but the colors on those leaves is not fake. So incredible.

Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors, double sided tape
• Gift box
• A neutral leafy style wrapping paper
• Fallen leaves, preferably with some stem
Center line cotton ribbon

Wrap, tie, and slide those pretty leaves underneath. Nothing to it. Those bold hues will do all the work for you.
