One of the reasons I like Christmas is that I actually
like to wrap presents.*
*I like wrapping the first 10 presents and then pull out the gift bags.
I love a smartly wrapped box.
Crisp corners.
Coordinating ribbon.
Unique gift tag.
I also like how all the boxes look under the tree if they are all wrapped with coordinating paper and ribbons.
Ahhhh…Christmas.
For several years I have been purchasing gift tags from Sam’s Club. They come in an assortment of 60. They are handmade gift tags that are surprisingly adorable.
Adorable and
affordable.
I paid $8.98 at my local Sam’s Club.
I am telling you this now, November 19, because this is one of those items that if you don’t pick them up the first time you see it, it will be gone.
I missed out last year.
All my packages had handmade gift tags, but they were handmade by me. And they more closely resembled strips of paper than gift tags.
No glitter.
No feathers.
No fold-out tissue paper feature.
Learn from my mistake.
Oh no, my Sam’s card just ran out. But I will check at Costco and see if they have cute ones. I love that Costco has cute bags in a box. Have used those for several years.
I LOVE wrapping presents. Every year I pick one color for all the paper and another color for all the ribbon. It’s an obsession.
I love gift wrapping! Ever go to a “Draw-a number” gift exchange? All the presents in boxes with cool ribbons and tags get drawn first.
We buy these tags too. My problem– I buy too much wrapping stuff! I forget I have stuff from last year…
Ahhh! This talk of gifts and wrapping is giving me stress! I’m not even ready for Thanksgiving, so to all of you who are so prepared, know I am jealous. 😉
For those who don’t make it to Sam’s Club on time, Home Depot has an amazing assortment of gift supplies as well.
Adorable! Great tip! Thanks!
Oh my word those are awesome! I hate the crappy ones that you have to stick onto the package. Your hand made ones sound very similar to my hand made ones!
I freaking LOVE wrapping presents!!! Until last year when I was exhausted and pregnant and finally realized that my 21 month old twins did not give a ca-rap about whether or not the presents were wrapped.
And people, including my husband, think I’m nuts for buying coordinating wrapping paper.
Great reminder! Since I usually send all of my presents out of town I usually just do those boring stick on tags. Packing and shipping usually messes up the nice ones! But maybe I will check our BJs and see if they have something similar this year! Thanks!
My gift tags last year were plain white mailing labels with the names written on in Sharpie. But it was RED sharpie, so that’s festive, right? Hey, it got the job done.
