  4. How I’ve wrapped Christmas presents this year
I could spend hours choosing presents for my family and friends at Christmas. There’s something extra exciting about looking for the perfect presents for people you care about. I actually started Christmas shopping in July this year! The year before I had very little time to go Christmas shopping because of University coursework, so I was determined to start early this year.
As my shopping was pretty much finished by September, I had time to find cute wrapping paper and make the presents look extra Christmassy.  For the penultimate Blogmas post, I thought I’d talk about where I got my Christmas wrapping paper from and the accessories I used to decorate the presents.

Wrapping paper

I purchased multiple rolls from Paperchase including the London lines paper, the London bus paper and some of their reindeer paper, which is now out of stock. The bauble paper is my Mum’s and was bought from iCandy.

Ribbons and bows

I decorated the presents with bows and ribbon from Card Factory. It only cost me £1 for about 15 bows and 2 rolls of ribbon.

Gift tags

The gift tags were also bought from Card Factory. I really liked the long and thin design of these; they’re very different to the usual tags that you see in shops. A pack of 18 gift tags was only £1.

I’m really glad I took the time to decorate the gifts I bought this year.
Where did you buy your Christmas wrapping paper from?
Thanks for reading my blog today.
Love
Kat
