I am a less is more person, unless it comes to chocolate, then more is always better! As soon as our tree went up last week the kids were BEGGING for presents to wrap! They love seeing those little parcels tucked under the tree, full of possibility.
Except, those little parcels usually look a disaster. My skills do not lie in the details, and I am more of a “big picture” kinda gal, so when the kids ask to wrap presents, I let them. Happy to have this chore off my plate.
Except, that means we end up with “Franken-presents” under our tree, all beauty and art crushed beneath layers of Scotch Tape and thick black marker.
And with a house full of guests arriving for the holidays, it might be nice to have SOMETHING pretty under our tree, so I am turning for tips to the masters of wrapping, Scotch Canada. The have a quick list of tips and ideas to help you battle the “Frankenpresent” and actually have pretty parcels tucked under the boughs of your tree this year!
