Pretty Gift Wraps and Bows

Holiday mittens filled with candy

Mitten Bags

If you want to send party guests home with a few goodies or you have a little gift to give a neighbor, teacher, or coworker, skip the conventional paper gift bag for something more creative, such as these fuzzy mittens. Stick in a festive candy cane tied with a plaid ribbon and garnished with a sprig of greenery.

Glued On

Hot glue is the key to creating a package garnish using small floral picks, beaded clusters, or ornaments. Wire smaller items together first, then glue the cluster down to the top of the gift box

Wrap and Reuse

This box is just the right size for homemade cookies in cellophane bags and perfect to reuse as storage for keepsakes. Personalize each box with twin ribbons, bows, and holiday cutouts (like this Christmas tree).

Garnish with Style

Sometimes all you need is a ribbon with a holiday garnish. Here, a beautiful green jar is embellished with a velvet ribbon and a sparkling holiday reindeer ornament that can immediately be hung on the Christmas tree.


Colorfully wrapped gifts

Stacked with Color

Plain papers and plain ribbons are always a versatile choice for gift wrapping. These wrappings and ribbons don't match, but look festive when stacked together. This look would also be effective for a birthday party or anniversary.
