Gift Wrap Guide 2006

I love wrapping gifts and placing them under the tree, possibly more than i love finding & giving ther perfect gift! Every year I try to be more original or creative than the year before in regards to both my gift giving and the presentation. As far as I am concerned presentation is everything. You can easily make a gift more memorable by wrapping it or presenting it in a memorable way! Last year I went for a blue and silver theme, but my paper had glitter on it. The gifts looked great, but the paper and glitter ornament tie ons I used ended up making a huge mess...both while wrapping and unwrapping. I would suggest staying away from glittery paper for that reason!!! I am always tempted by untraditional papers, colors, or simple and modern designs, so I am going to steer clear of glitter this year and go for a more design conscious look for my gifts. Here are my favorite papers of the holiday season!:
