a seasonal post.

I love wrapping paper. It's true. There's nothing like wrapping that perfect gift in a beautifully designed wrapping paper. When choosing my wrapping paper, I don't just pick up any old roll. I go to great lengths, scouring the options, picking the most appealing designs. This year, while Christmas shopping at my local Target with my husband, we came across the wrapping paper section, remembering that we were running low, and that we should pick up a couple of rolls. So, in my typical fashion, I went on the hunt for the perfect papers in which to wrap our gifts. My sweet hubby told me I could pick three rolls. Of course, they had to be different. I couldn't get three rolls that were primarily red. So I literally spent fifteen minutes determining the best designs and those that would look great together. So, I came up with a funky light blue pattern with a red stocking pattern, a vintage ornament pattern on a white background, and a classic white snowflake pattern on a red background. They look great under our tree and it always makes me proud to give a beautifully-wrapped gift at Christmas. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and enjoy the aesthetics of the season!

Here are some other cool wrapping papers I found at Whimsy and Erin Ruth's Etsy shop (whose papers are eco-friendly).
