’Tis the season of giving and gifting! Are you ready? Don’t worry if you’re not, help is on the way! Often, the stress of the holidays can overshadow the joy of gifting, but we want to encourage you to take a little extra time on those nearest and dearest to make their holiday extra bright. After all, it’s the most wonderful time of the year to go (a little) over the top. So here, we’re sharing our favorite tips to elevate your gift-giving game.
Let’s be honest, sometimes more is better. Including a little something extra that compliments the main gift is a fun way to create lots of excitement for little cost. Giving a candle? Add a wick trimmer, matches or a USB rechargeable lighter. Thinking about a charcuterie board? Pair it with your favorite cheese or a box of honeycomb from your local grocer. Bringing a bottle of wine to a party? Wrap it up in a tea towel or tie a bundle of mulling spices around the neck with a recipe for mulled wine. Just remember, a small addition can make a big impact.
From wrapping and ribbon to bags and bows, packaging your present can sometimes cost almost as much as what’s inside! The good news is you don’t need to spend much to make your gift look beautiful. Our go-to gift wrap is natural kraft wrapping paper with bakers twine, which you can find at your local craft store. Add a simple embellishment like a sprig of seasonal greenery or fresh herbs—we like pepperberry or rosemary—and in the flashiest of flashes your gift will be #gramworthy.
