One of the joys of the holiday season is seeing the boxes, bags and colorfully wrapped packages accumulate under the tree or on the table and shelves reserved for presents. You’ve already done the hard part of shopping for the gifts and you’ve managed to beat the crowds to get Dad the DJI FPV Combo Drone he’s been asking for since July. Wrapping carefully such selected gifts can be as much fun as watching the recipient unwrap them. Sometimes you can work the wrapping itself into the theme of the present itself, an example of which is using star-studded gift wrap on Telescopes or Star Maps Gifts. It’s deciding what kinds of papers, decorations and tags to choose that can be a bit stressful. If you find the part about choosing the gift itself stressful as well then don’t worry. There are plenty of ideas out there for the perfect gift. You could even look for unique personalized gifts. Deciding whether you want to go traditional, classy, modern or humorous (these face stickers certainly add comical value to your wrapping) can be tricky, but with plenty of innovation around us there’s no need to use up all your creativity on finding the perfect wrapping. Here for your gift-wrapping inspiration are 15 of our favorites this year. Enjoy!

Red and white is a popular gift-wrap color combination year after year. With limitless options it never seems to get old.

We love the iconic red, green and white tartan plaid. Here, it’s paired with yellow, red and white ribbon and silver paper and bells.

(The House That Lars Built)
Green is seen everywhere in fashion and home décor this year. Isn’t it pretty with black, white and gold? We’re loving the new patterned papers available right now.
(Penny Paper Co.)
It’s so much fun to choose two or three coordinating wrapping papers and then mix and match with all sorts of small touches like this black and white herringbone ribbon and twigs of greenery.

Always a vintage favorite, music themed paper is pretty with crisp black and white stripped ribbon and tiny silvery glass tree ornaments.
Malachite is a beautiful trend this year and now here it is in wrapping paper. It looks so chic with black ribbon.
(Elegant Classics)
Lovely Burberry boxes show just how beautiful understated neutral shades are when paired with matching ribbon for an elegant tone on tone look.

From understated elegance we turn to totally rustic vintage in this little wreath that would be perfect on a natural brown paper package.

Another idea for decorating brown paper wrapped gifts is this gorgeous tree bark ribbon. It’s a magical combination.
We know that many of the great gifts of wrought iron we offer at TimelessWroughtIron.com won’t fit into a colorfully wrapped package under the Christmas tree, so may we suggest one more gift wrap idea–a very large bow with wide streamers as the perfect decoration for these oversize gifts?
