The days of wrapping gifts in paper and (gasp) newspaper comics are over!  With the holiday season coming around, be sure give gifts that stand out!  The people you give gifts to should know how much they mean to you.  A beautifully wrapped gift shows friends and family that you care and that they deserve beautiful things.  Wrapping gifts in unique and special ways does NOT have to cost you an arm and a leg.  Read on to discover...

The Glam Girl's Guide to Gift Wrapping

1.  Wrapping gifts in brown craft paper gives a simplistic, stylish feel to a gift.  The best part is, the paper provides a canvas that you can work with.  Here are some ideas for you to try:

                  -Stamp it with gold designs, pictures, or monograms

                  -Tie it with a wide colorful ribbon that stands out against the plain brown

                  -Accent the gift with a gorgeous gift tag with a meaningful message

2.  Wrapping the gift in clear plastic cellophane is another great option!  Place your gift on a bed of colored tissue paper, place the gift in the center of a large piece of cellophane, pull the sides up around the present and tie with a pretty ribbon so that the top of the wrapped present is fluffy and festive. 

3.  Gift bags don't have to be boring.  Go to a party store or a craft store and get a solid colored bag.  Stuff it with contrasting tissue paper (some color combos to consider: pink and green, silver and blue, gold and white).  Place the gift inside the bag and tie the handles with a skinny ribbon and a gift tag. 

These are simple and cheap ways to wrap a gift that will delight the person you are giving the gift to.  Beautiful gifts make anyone happy, and they are sure to shoe off the treat inside!
