I am not a big fan of wrapping Christmas presents and I always seem to do a pretty rubbish job so I decided to ask a group of bloggers for their advice. I am sure everyone out there does a better job than me and got some great tips so thought I would share them with anyone else like me who just hates wrapping!

“Pretty patterned tape or washi tape can make all the difference, it’s not as much of a faff as ribbons but it gives the gifts a little something extra,” says Niki

“Pay my mum in drink to do it 🙂
Alternatively, Then I use patterned circle sticky tabs so I don’t need to faff finding the end of the roll (as that is a pain!) I also try to find a pretty box for awkward shapes.” says Jaymee

“Brown paper and some pretty string. Looks fancy but it’s sturdy and ideal for those stupidly shaped presents,” says Cat

“Do it yourself because otherwise, you won’t be happy with the outcome! Also print off Sticky labels saying With love from and your family then just stick them on and write on the first name, that saved us hours of writing last year,” says Cheryl

“Make sure you don’t wrap them too well if they are for children as they can struggle to get in them,” says Charlotte.

“Don’t leave it late! Do it in stages or earlier in December or it’ll just be something else for you to worry about and fret over close to Christmas,” says Jemma

“Use fabric swatches and ribbon so it can be used year after year and is ever so forgiving when it comes to enveloping oddly shaped presents,” says Hollie

“Careful of glitter wrapping paper. Your floor ends up looking like Santas grotto!” says Sara

“My top tip is to pay someone else to do it. Teens are fab for this and have far more patience than I do!” says Samantha
