Now that your gifts are wrapped, it’s time to add the finishing touches: bows, ribbons, tags and more. This is where you can really let your creativity shine with gift wrapping ideas that make presents more beautiful. (Gifting food? Check out these homemade food gift packaging ideas.)

1. Bows and Ribbons: Adding ribbons and bows to your gift is a quick and easy way to dress it up. Keep it simple or go all out with a bouquet of curled ribbons and plenty of bows.
2. Sweet Treats: Add a few red and white striped candy canes to your packaging. They make for a sweet surprise that looks good and tastes good too! Simply tape a candy cane onto the box or incorporate it with a ribbon.
3. A Touch of Nature: Incorporate small sprigs of holly, cuttings from a pine tree or even mini pine cones for a rustic, farm-house chic look. If you don’t have access to the real deal, pick up some beautiful artificial options that work just as well.
4. Personalize It: Break out the Cricut machine. Use it to personalize an oversized hang tag with the initial of your gift recipient.
5. Small Ornaments: Lightweight ornaments, like these festive wood slice holiday ornaments, are another great option. It’s like giving a gift with your gift. The ornament will move from the gift to the tree for years of future enjoyment.
6. Gift Tags: You can’t give a gift without a gift tag! Etsy has hundreds designs to choose or you can make a tag yourself. Take these charming mistletoe-themed tags, or these Christmas tree-themed tags you can personalize and print right at home. There are even gift tag options from Santa!
