At Willinglee, we always wrap our gifts in hand-painted Kraft paper and tie them up with a twine bow. So when it comes to gift-giving in my personal life, sometimes I don’t feel I have the energy to wrap something so beautifully. But whenever I receive a gift that’s delightfully wrapped, I am more easily able to appreciate the time and care that went into preparing it.

What’s more fun, for example, than a paper-tablecloth-covered card table piled high with brightly-colored birthday presents, each one dawning one of those shiny bows that come pre-built? What’s sweeter than a gift wrapped effortfully by your kid, hand-drawn card included? And what’s a more nostalgic holiday sight than wrapped gifts under the tree or next to the menorah?

To help you bring back those warm and cozy feelings (while keeping things earth-friendly!), we’re here to give you 6 gift wrap ideas that will have your recipients second-guessing if they even want to tear into them at all.
