22 Christmas Gift Wrap Ideas People Actually Keep
Share
Wrapping paper is the one part of Christmas nobody plans. You buy whatever is left at the supermarket on December 22nd, and every present under the tree ends up looking like every other present.
It's a cheap thing to fix. A matte roll picked to match the person costs $16.99, and it turns the wrapping itself into part of the gift.
Before you choose
- Matte photographs better than gloss. If the tree is going on Instagram, this is the whole difference.
- Pick one paper per person, not per family. Everyone finds their own presents instantly, and it looks deliberate under the tree.
- Cream backgrounds sit better against a green tree than white, which tends to look grey in photos.
