Wrapped with love

There are a lot of answers to the question "What is Christmas?" but our favorite is this: Christmas is a time of giving. That doesn't just mean poring over gift ideas, of course—there's also giving of spirit, kindness, and warmth—but no one can deny that seeing all those DIY Christmas gifts under a tree beautifully trimmed with DIY Christmas decorations is a thrill we just don't get at other times of the year. And that's why Christmas is also a time to break out your best gift wrapping ideas.

Whether you're the type to wrap things weeks in advance or you're more of a last-minute shopper, you're no doubt focused on two things: finding the perfect gifts and wrapping them with care. Once you've bought those gifts for her, gifts for him, and gifts for kids, it's time to gussy them up for the season. There are a ton of gorgeous options for Christmas gift wrapping paper, but after you've gone to all the trouble of decorating your home, why not decorate your gifts, too?

These incredible gift wrapping ideas will help your presents stand out under the tree. There are lots of options for recycling things you have lying around the house, as well as simple decorations that make a thoughtful gift that much more special. After all, the true value of a gift is the thought and time you put into it.

Buttons and stars

We love the gorgeous red wrapping paper on these gifts, but the individual buttons truly take it up a notch. For a similar effect, cut stars from red paper and slightly smaller ones from patterned paper. Glue them together with a button on top, then glue that to a clothespin you can clip to your string.

You can make your own polka dot wrapping paper by using large sequins as stamps. They won't be as shiny, but the paper will be able to bend without dislodging sequins onto your floor, so that's a win.
