Easter Gift Wrapping Roundup



We are still in the thick of transitioning to Seattle but I wanted to put together a roundup of Easter-inspired gift wrapping ideas for you! These painted baskets from Oh Happy Day are my favorites of the bunch. (And what gorgeous ribbon choices! The bows complete the look.)

I have missed having time to blog, but my priorities these days include finding a preschool for Big N, reconnecting with community and friends, and carving out a little home-within-a-home as we live with my parents. If you celebrate I hope you have a very blessed Easter!

Calendar Gift Boxes | Gift Wrap Everywhere

Gift Wrap Everywhere highlights items I've run across in daily life that are perfect for unconventional gift wrapping. Seriously, gift wrap is everywhere!


G and my birthdays are five days apart. For our last birthdays my sister S sent our birthday gifts packaged in these super cool gift boxes.


We opened them up and saw the Gift Wrap Everywhere philosophy in action! S's childhood friend is a photographer and graphic designer and made a calendar with her images. S had held onto the calendar pages and gave them a second life as gift boxes.


When I asked my sister what instructions she used to make the boxes she nonchalantly said, "Oh, I just folded up the sides and glued them." For those of us a little less spatially intelligent, this origami gift box video might be employed the next time you want to turn a calendar page into a way to give a gift!
