Christmas is going to be all wrapped up

Some people effortlessly make all the presents that they wrap look like they've come directly from Selfridges. Others (like me) swaddle the things in half a tree's worth of wrapping paper, cover all of the awkward ends in tape and then whack a massive glittery bow on it to try and make it look festive. Said bow inevitably gets crushed in transit to whatever tree the present is to lie underneath so the whole thing ends up looking like quite a sad affair. But no more! This year I'm determined to wrap properly and this lace tape looks perfect for the job...

Tired of the usual penguin and tree prints? How about some Queen's Speech Bingo or Searching for Santa paper? Both available at the Unreal Shop at £2 a sheet.



I'm also in love with Smockpaper's absolutely gorgeous recycled wrapping paper:
