Don’t you hate that pit in your stomach when you’re leaving the house for a hosted gathering and realize you don’t have any wrapping paper, or a bag for a wine bottle, or a gift card?
We’re here to help you prepare for success this holiday season with our FabList of items to have on hand so you’re always ready with wrapping supplies. This is the icing on the cake – wrapping paper, tissue, bags, ribbons, bows, and tags so you and your gift are ready to go!
Wrapping Paper:
We love a pretty paper, like this Deck the Halls one or this holiday plaid or a simple red and white stripe?
How about some fun paper, like this one with holiday dogs or this butter wrapper-designed paper?
Reusable Wrap:
Drawstring Holiday Gift Bags: Reuse, reuse, reuse these cloth bags of various sizes. They come in gold, red, or assorted colors.
These flannel bags are classic.
For a blue/white scheme, try these that can be used for any time of year.
Wrappr: Honoring Furoshiki, the 1,200-year-old Japanese tradition of fabric wrapping, each Wrappr is a gift in itself, designed to be re-purposed or re-used and perfect for any season or celebration.
Bags & Tissue:
Gift bags are a great, sustainable, reusable option and ideal for awkward-sized items.
These holiday bags are super cute!
If your present wants to be seen, simply put it in a cellophane bag with a ribbon tie and a tag.
And don’t forget to line the bag with a fun piece of tissue paper.
These wine bags are a great way to deliver a bottle of holiday cheer. Layer the inside with a fun-colored tissue, and you’re good to go! Pair the wine with one of these wine savers/stoppers to make it a bit different than just a bottle of wine.
A reusable wine bag is greatly appreciated – pass it forward!
Ribbons & Bows:
Having a stash of ribbons and bows is the icing on the cake!
This one says it all!
This striped one, this gold star one, and this fun sparkly ribbon will polish off any package.
And don’t forget the bow on top! Keep these on hand to add to any package.
Gift Tags:
If you really want to save time, get custom gift tags printed ahead of time! You can even think ahead and have them made for family and friends – they make thoughtful gifts!
