The Cheapest Christmas Wrapping Paper in Ireland

Haha! People are probably fed up of me talking about them, I mention them every year

One year, I had a really simple black and gold theme. It was black wrapping paper with gold bows and ribbons of all shapes and sizes. Here's a pic.

The following year, I used plain brown parcel paper and used red twine instead of a ribbon. Instead of gift tags, I bought these cheap, old fashioned wooden Christmas tree decorations in Inspiring Ideas and tied those on.

Another year (this was my favourite!) I got silver wrapping paper, green ribbon and tied a few little jingle bells onto each gift. This is what I was inspired by. I didn't have the sheet music but the ribbons I had were the same lovely green colour and the bells were really effective, everyone loved them.

Last year I again used brown parcel paper, and then I put a strip of patterned wrapping paper around the middle of the present. I used green or red bows, and I made plain gift-tags out of card paper and tied them to the bow with thread. Pic here. This was reeeeally time consuming, I don't think I'd do it again!


I've no idea what to do this year!!! I actually think I might go back to doing something like the black and gold, a plain coloured wrapping paper and then different sorts of ribbons in another colour. It's really simple but looks lovely.
