Personalize gift wrap with a Red Bow – Christmas Blog Hop
It’s Day 9 – Pretty Gift Wrapping Ideas! My favorite money saving trick when it comes to gift wrap is, whenever I see a sale, to always purchase solid colors or stripes. That way, I always have wrapping paper on hand that can work with any occasion! I found this lovely striped silver and white paper over a year ago and it has worked for me through a baby shower, two birthdays and now I’m using the last of it for this christmas!

It’s Day 9 – Pretty Gift Wrapping Ideas!
The trick with purchasing wrapping paper to work with multiple occasions is to always choose subtle and elegant. Even a design on this lovely wrap in this color would still work fine even for a man’s birthday.
Solid colors in the golds, silvers and grays can literally be dressed up for any occasion.
For the baby shower I adorned this paper with pink bows. For the birthday party I matched it to my gift bags with orange and green ribbons.
I think of wrapping paper almost like a closet. Solid and simple basics is a great foundation that can be dressed down or up depending on the occasion!
In this case I grabbed my red ribbon and made a simple bow.
Because I had stripes I was working with I decided to wrap my gift at a diagonal to give the feel of a candy cane!
The bow I secured with a little tape on the back. So simple and elegant!

I’m Tarah!
It’s been a hell of a ride since I started this blog and renovated and moved into this old farm house back in 2015. I got married, divorced, lost my doggo soul mate, spent two years as a single gal, remodeled everything, threw my back out countless times and was even found by an amazing guy in my own backyard! (The story behind Storyhardt Farm.)
Around here we’re totally fearless when it comes to bettering our home. We love to refinish old furniture, re-purpose old pieces, build it from scratch and totally renovate anything that needs it! If we can do it – so can you. We’ve got some serious plans for this old farm and, for first time ever, I have a real partner!
This is gonna be so much fun!

Using plain or striped paper is a great way to save money on paper, and reduce clutter. I always have a mountain of different papers, as I see a pretty one and spend. This make more sense and your gift is adorable.
Thanks Leanna! I try to keep my eye out after xmas for when the gift wrap goes on hard core sale and grab anything that will work for multiple holidays lol
That bow looks fantastic matched with that paper. I love how it’s clean but still festive. So pretty (and easy)!
Thanks Marie!
Any gift would look so elegant wrapped like this!
Thank you!!
