[...] both variety and creativity, I like to pick a “wrapping theme” each year. Inspired by an adorable post from Scoutie Girl, my chosen theme for 2009 is relativity simple yet delightfully [...]

This is a great post (and thanks for featuring my gift tags)! For a couple of years now, we’ve wrapped our presents in kraft paper and pretty ribbon, and I just love the effect. They go so nicely with the green tree, too!

i was thinking of doing the same thing! lola is just learning to color… she really just draws lines on her giant newsprint pad – but i think that would make great gift wrap! thanks for reading & sharing, karen!

oh i know about big plastic things! that’s why there’s been a no big plastic things rule in my house since i got pregnant! i made that quite clear to everyone needless to say, no one knows what to get her… but that’s fine by me – i’ll take the cash and buy her clothes/toys on etsy!

the kraft paper is great, I think it all speaks to the desire to simplify & get back to basics. I’ve also been using my boys’ easel paper – after it’s been colored & scribbled on, of course! It looks sweet & colorful… always gets a big smile.

Ooh! Pretty Pretty! I’m like Wendi…we STILL have large rolls of paper bought years ago, when both boys got a couple of LARGE presents (you’ve just entered the zone of large plastic things for presents – good luck!) and both my husband and I saw a great deal on the extra wide extra long rolls of paper and bought a lot, unbeknownst to each other! So, sigh, we’ve gotta use it til it’s gone…but then, I’m all over the brown paper!

I love this! We haven’t bought giftwrap in years. We’re still working off some old leftovers, but last year I decorated a bunch of tins and reusable boxes by gluing on bits and pages of (damaged) old children’s books to them. They turned out great and now we have “fancy” reusable packaging. Maybe this year I’ll cover a few boxes with plain brown paper – it looks so pretty!

tara- i love this! i can never justify spending so much on wrapping paper so i always doll up plain paper. year before last it was newspapers with yarn bows. last year it was blank newspaper paper (end of the rolls are free from the local newspaper printer!) with glittery initials tied to them. this kraft paper with string might be it for this year! i might have to get some happy tape to slap on there too though..
