for some reason it is SUPER important to my dad that all gifts be wrapped to the nines (does that reference even work here?) but yet some how i always am the one who ends up doing it. i get putting extra love and attention into a wrap job, i really do - but i feel that it is a wasted effort on a group of small children who could care less if their present were wrapped in dirty underwear.
but i do it anyway and this year i did it with stuff i already had around the home! no last minute trips to target in search of a deal. i had already picked up one giant roll of paper from costco like i always do, it is double sided, sturdy, and gets the whole job done. before i got started i wandered around the house grabbing yarn, clothespins (which i haven't used yet), doilies, and more. then, thanks to pinterest i got the idea to enlist the help of my trader joe's holiday paper bags in my wrap job - they were exactly the last touch i needed!
i still need to wrap our gifts to the girls - same paper, but i want to do something different for the "little somethin' extra," i love the ideas i saw over at armommy on facebook and might have to try a few.
are you all done wrapping yet? did you do anything fun and different this year to really wow the recipients?
