Looking for fun, inspired ways to achieve your gift wrapping this year? We're here to help! Read on for some of our favorite tips - and how to enjoy some flavorful fuel as you wrap, too. Take a look.
Set up a convenient wrapping station
One of the trickiest parts of wrapping gifts, for many of us, is gathering together all the supplies! Where's the tape, scissors or tissue paper when you need it? Before embarking upon your wrapping session, set up a convenient station at a counter or coffee table (comfy chair is a must); then, keep your wrapping essentials handy in a small basket or caddy until all your gifts are accounted for.
Take the unconventional route
Of course, no one said you have to stick to traditional wrapping paper and gift bags! Unconventional alternatives we love include newspaper, fun fabric (which can even be reused next year) and more. In a pinch, an empty toilet paper roll can even be flattened and turned into an effortless box for small trinkets and jewelry.
Hack your wrap
We've all seen those viral, super-fast wrapping videos. For many of the pros, the secret to wrapping traditional rectangular-shaped items like books and boxes is to align the gift diagonally (not parallel) with the wrapping paper for a more even wrap with less wasted paper.
Make it a delicious occasion
All that wrapping can certainly work up an appetite! Make this annual activity a little more fun by bringing home some Peach Valley favorites from your go-to Gainesville cafe, and enjoy in the backyard or patio as you soak in some gorgeous Sunshine State weather.
Go virtual
Though distance may separate many of us this year, we're grateful for the chance to connect virtually! Scheduling a video chat date with a friend or family member who also has to wrap up their wrapping can be a great way to make this tedious task, well, a little more special.
For holiday gift wrapping and special occasions all year long, Peach Valley Cafe has you covered! We wish you and your family a very happy holiday season.
