Are your gifts still not wrapped? If you need some inspiration, I decided to mix things up a bit this year and use brown grocery bags and some paper I had on hand.
I cut my paper into little triangles and sewed them together to make tiny flag buntings. I made sure they boy presents had no pink or purple flags.
For the labels, I just cut circles out of the extra bags and tied them on. Simple.
I found some super cute and cheap ribbon and debated on the traditional red or green, but decided on bright colors that I can use for another day. This present was rather wrinkly...I considered ironing the paper, but was a bit hesitant that might not be fire-safe. (Sorry your present is wrinkly, Haven!)
I think they look pretty cute all together. Yay for cheap and recycled wrapping paper! I'm glad I saved all of those Trader Joes bags! (Since I always forget to bring my own!)
Happy wrapping!

Ha! I did the same thing. I used the handles from the bags for bows and added some extra ribbon curls.
