Mix it up this year with fun prints and recycled paper. Ribbons and bows are great, but how about adding ornaments, pine cones, cookie cutters or dolls. I also love adding the color "pink" to the traditional holiday colors. They are all different, but they match at the same time. We used the same color theme, even though the design is different.
Bring in nature from your own yard if you're lucky to have pine cones and leaves. Add fun ornaments or cookie cutters, which can be saved and used after opening presents.
Some stores have decorative kits, such as #Anthropologie or #Target. 3 weeks before Christmas, Anthropologie had 30% off sale off of all holiday gift wrapping and kits. Target's prices are always competitive. You can get 5% off of your whole purchase using your red card credit card.
