How to Wrap Gifts without Wrapping Paper



Hey, everyone! Have you missed me? Don't worry: I'm feeling a lot better than I was at Thanksgiving. How is it almost Christmas already? Time flies, right?

If you're anything like me, you've put off all your Christmas shopping until the last week, and you're stuck wrapping gifts the last few days before the holiday, AND you forgot to pick up Christmas wrapping paper. Oops! Never fear! Here are some tips for getting those gifts under-the-tree ready without another trip to the store.

1. Ribbon and tape—If you don't have wrapping paper, just tape a bunch of ribbon together to make a paper-like sheet for wrapping. Bonus, it only takes twelve-times longer than using paper!

2. Copy paper and markers—Use plain paper and draw your own designs on there! Who cares that you're not five years old anymore?

3. Crap-ton of bows—If you can put enough adhesive gift bows on the present to cover up what it is, that's just as good as dumb old wrapping paper!

4. Piles of laundry—Conceal surprises around the house with dirty clothes: who would think to peek under laundry to find a present?

There you have it! Happy gifting, and send me your favorite wrapping hacks.
