25 Days Till Christmas: All Wrapped Up

Usually each year I come up with a wrapping concept. Last year I had dark blues, silver and brown parcel paper. This year the Cath Kidston booklet came through the door and instantly I fell in love with their wraps.

See isn't it beautiful?

I even considered buying the Cath Kidston wrapping paper when I couldn't find any spotted paper anywhere else, and at £9 for three rolls and each roll only 3 meters! I can't believe I was mad enough to consider it!!

There I sat knowing I could not afford the wrap- repeating in my head 'Wrapping paper is not important  Wrapping paper is not important'. I need a new solution. Which was soon given to me by Asda.

When in Asda buying nappies I spied a roll of pretty paper for £1 for 10 meters. Yes that right that 10 times cheaper that my dream wrapping paper. So I brought 3 rolls to cover all the pressies. I also threw in some silver bows at 25 for £1 - hay live a little it is Christmas - or soon will be.


My wrap for this year:

Luckily I also have some luggage tags left over in a nice parcel brown which I brought half price at WH Smith during the year - as I use for Christmas but also for birthdays and stuff. I might even stamp and emboss a snow flake in the corner, if I can be bothered, to make them extra festive.

In conclusion not much of a wrapping concept this year and more a wrapping compromise but I'm happy with how it will look under the tree and try to remind myself it will all end up in the bin come boxing day.
