Wrap It Up!

75 daysWrapping gifts to set under the tree is, for many people, a part of the Christmas tradition. A wrapped gift is a mystery. Children go to sleep dreaming of what they might find inside.

Countdown to ChristmasToday’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to inventory your holiday gift wrap and supplies. Maybe you stocked up after last Christmas. Maybe your current stock is depleted after last year.  Consider buying gift wrap that can be reused such as paper or fabric gift bags the next time you shop for supplies.

Visit the 100 Days to Christmas Facebook page and tell us about your favorite gift wrapping techniques!

    Love this site!  This made me think about how my mom for many years for my bro and I (even now that we are married and families of our own) has had the same few bags that our gifts go into every Christmas.  She still wraps some of our other gifts but those trusty bags always make it under the tree:-)

    What a nice tradition!  For the past 2 years, I’ve tried to wrap my presents in only reusable bags (fabric or paper).  Maybe some day, my children will recognize some of our well-loved bags.  Thanks, Heidi!
