With the holiday season just around the corner, there is a Christmas shopping craze buzzing, and with gifts comes wrapping. Now, of course there is the traditional wrapping of presents that is always a good standby, but if you are looking for something a little out of the box, these are a few ways to spice up the space beneath your tree.

Use paint samples as gift tags

This is a super simple and inexpensive way to add a little something extra to your gifts. As shown, it creates a simple but put together look for all your presents. It showcases your creativity without breaking your bank account.

Wrap your gifts in a blanket

This technique is a two in one by using part of the gift as the wrapping. If you have little ones that you will be gifting to, this is a great way to present the gift and save you some wrapping paper.

Use a mason jar

Mason jars have the ability to make any gift look more vintage and homemade. An easy gift to give is mason jar mixes. You add all of the dry ingredients for your favourite cookie or bread and attach the baking directions to the jar with ribbon. You can also put smaller gifts inside of mason jars as a unique way to showcase your present.
