Wrapping it up! Gift baskets and wrapping.
Gift Baskets
Gift baskets are a great way to wrap a number smaller gifts together especially if they follow a theme. Pick any theme that suits the recipient- movies, games, crafts, food, favorite animal, sport, or even a particular color.
Containers: It doesn’t have to be a basket. A box covered with Christmas paper or fabric works well. A container related to the items you are giving - Giving tools, use a tool box as a container.
Helpful hints: Gift baskets don’t have to be big. Consider buying multi packs of items and splitting between baskets. Shrink wrap from dollar tree works with a hair dryer. Look for fillers at thrift shops. Items such as kitchen towels, cloth napkins can be used as fillers too. Items can be wrapped and placed in baskets to add some mystery.

Wrapping parties!
Wrapping party days are a great way to stay on top of your wrapping. Katrina will be posting the 2022 dates in September with her Rudolph Day post. Even if you can’t wrap on the posted days it still serves as a reminder it is time to start wrapping.
Organizing your space: Do you have plenty of paper, boxes, gift bags, fillers and tape depending on your wrapping style?
Thinking outside the “box”: Shop yard sales thrift shops for unusual containers, they can be part of the gift! Pillow cases make great gift bags. Things like tablecloths, scarves, and towels can be used as a wrapping for gifts.
Thinking ahead: Will you be wrapping unusual size gifts such as large bottles, odd shaped items, etc. Start looking for boxes now for those odd shaped items.
