Hello! I tend to lurk and thoroughly enjoy seeing how skilled so many of you are with your gift wrapping. As someone slowly trying new wrapping styles, I'm finding it hard to get ahold supplies for reasonable prices. Joanne's used to be a go-to and now I snag what I can from Home Goods or TJ Maxx.

Where do you get your materials for such cute wrapping or do you have any suggestions on acquiring supplies?

“I wanted this one to feel soft and cheerful, so I played with a little gold netting, dried flowers, and a big satin bow. I really like how the tiny flowers bring the whole wrap to life. 🌸✨”

I wanted to try something a little more romantic this time, so I played around with a paper heart, pearls, dried flowers and a satin bow. I think the tiny flowers ended up being my favorite part. 🌸🎀

I played with two shades of purple ribbon and added a floral touch. What do you think of this combination? 😊

I’ve been practicing making bows and trying out different colors and styles. 🎀
Still learning, but I’m really enjoying the process.
Do you like bows like these?

Kept this one soft and simple with ivory ribbon and a few floral details. Handmade with care. 🌸

Anyone else have trouble unwrapping some gifts because the wrapping job is so beautiful it seems like a gift in itself?

Hi, long time lurker and first time poster of this amazing group. I’m a big fan of furoshiki as an alternatives to wrapping paper. I think it adds the extra value for being reusable and it feels less wasteful. What do you think?

I have a pile of books i want to gift someone, but 2 of them are the same size, 1 is bigger, and 1 is smaller. I think im gonna wrap them separately and then tie them together as a pile or something, but i always wanna add something extra to my wrapping :) im also gifting some vinyl records to this person, and im gonna wrap those in brown paper and then draw something on the front with charcoal.

For another of my friends i gifted a book, wrapped in brown paper, with a charcoal drawing on the front, and i also gifted her some wool to knit wrapped in brown paper with sudokus pasted on (cus she likes sudokus) with her name written in it.

Like im not super creative nor a great artist, but i do want to do something extra for the gifts. I just dont know what 'extra' to add to this pile of books... if i look it up online i get the same looking stuff each time, with those diagonal creases/pockets or something and i think thats a bit unoriginal
Help! :)

Some people don't know this but sellotape attached to wrapping paper makes the whole thing non-recyclable — even paper that says it's recyclable.

It seems odd that we don't have the option to get both the paper AND the tape together that are fully recyclable — so the whole thing goes in the recycling bin after use. No separating anything.

Doing a quick anonymous survey to see if this is something people think is a good idea:

Takes 2 minutes if you fancy it — any responses genuinely appreciated! 🎁

Should I change the gift card for the driver? Instead of purple?

Hi guys! I love wrapping and have created a page primarily about that, check it out!

I don’t think the baby will appreciate the wrapping, but maybe the parents will…

My friend told me it looks like The White Lotus wallpaper

Over the year, I’ve collected various maps form travels (ski trails and highways) and use them as wrapping paper. Bonus when the present is from where the map is!

I love maps and have a collection of free road maps from many states that offers them. I feel like they make for fun wrapping (especially coastal/colorful compass rose etc) and a perfect way to recycle maps once you no longer need them
