A Simple Wrap
Written: While watching Broadchurch S2E1
This has been one of the hardest Christmas Shopping experiences I’ve ever had. If not, ever!
It took me weeks to nail down exactly what to get everyone in my family. Not to mention on a budget too. I had to go back to two stores to make returns because I way over bought for my brother and sisters. It was really heard, by the way. It’s completely natural for me to overspend on people because I love giving gifts. However, focusing on myself is something I’ve been trying to work on. Particularly with my finances. I’m trying to “live within my financial truth”. Which is a mantra that I will be taking with me into the New Year.
As for wrapping, this has been the same!
I decided to buy a big industrial postal wrapping paper, instead of using standard Christmas paper. The first reason is because I love how brown paper looks as gifts. It reminds me of a rustic cabin that’s in the woods surrounded by snow. It was a dollar more than Christmas wrap and it has more paper and it’s thicker. Which, in short, means it’s reusable!
The pom poms were easy to make and, I think, are a sweet little touch to one package per recipient. I used a single bow tie on the others. Including hand made tags from the wrapping paper.
Are you ready for the holidays??
