I really enjoy having some fun creating unique and creative gift wrap ideas for my kids. There will certainly be a number of presents under the tree simply wrapped in red Santa Christmas paper… maybe even looking a little patchwork from places that the paper didn’t stretch. However, it’s also fun to wrap a special few presents in a really fun way. What’s great is that so many of these ideas are really simple and don’t take any longer than wrapping a gift the traditional way.
