PACKAGING 101: PICKING THE PERFECT PAPER

I love wrapping packages. It is one of my favorite things about the gift giving process. Since we're in the midst of moving, I did my shopping and packaging early this year, and decided to share the process with you! First up, picking the perfect paper.

Personally, I like to have 2-3 coordinated papers, allowing me to make my packages look like they all belong together. Each year I pick a theme. A few years ago, everything was black and silver. The following year was red and white. Last year I went with brown paper packages and string (so classic!). This year, I spent some time browsing through Target with a Holiday Spice Flat White (try one! I'm obssessed!) in hand. Here are a few of my favorite combos:

Which one did I go with? This year, I'm black and white, with a touch of gold! Target did an amazing collaboration with Sugar Paper, and I couldn't pass the gold and white striped paper by, especially when paired with the gold, black, and white-with-polka-dot tissue paper!

Stay tuned over the next week for my how-to wrap vlogs! Hint hint: The first one is up tomorrow!
