Happy Holidays friends! We're got the Christmas Tree up, the stockings hung, and all plans cancelled for heading home this season. We're both from the mid west and this will be our first Christmas we spend together after 6 years! We've always gone back to our home towns for a week over the break and celebrate with each other before we leave. It'll be nice but definitely heart breaking to think we won't see family this year. All for the best though to keep everyone safe!
Our presents started to arrive for each other and for family members this week, and I've begun wrapping mine in cute left over wrapping paper from last year. However, my fiance thinks it's OK to put Amazon boxes right under the tree and call it a day? Anyone else having this issue with their significant other? I guess I'll be wrapping MY OWN presents this year and then unwrapping them again Christmas day.
I have to say though, with all of the extra time, and hitting the end of the wrapping roll, I am starting to look for extra special ways to wrap the remaining gifts. As usual, the more creative minds on the internet have given me inspiration but have left me with decision paralysis. I can't decide which cute option to go with! Check out these unique gift wrapping ideas:
