If you’re anything like me, each Christmas, you decide to start early on your Christmas gifts + wrapping. But somehow it happens later rather than sooner, and Christmas is just round the corner before you know it. Then it’s all a mad last-minute rush to get everything completed in time.
Since today is Christmas Eve (!!), I thought I’d share the packaging that I did for Post-a-Parcel a couple of weeks back. Earlier in December, I had the really fun opportunity to participate in Nia Neve’s Post a Parcel exchange. Post-a-Parcel is an international gift exchange of sorts, where you are paired with a partner and send each other five items. You can check out Nia’s blog post here where she explains more about Post-a-Parcel, or search #postaparcel on Instagram to see more inspiring packaging!
Aside from getting to go to the post office to send out my parcel, packaging these little parcels was one of my favorite parts. Brown paper packages tied up with string are some of my favorite things indeed.
I used some colorful twine from American Crafts. Then completed the package with a tag from Crate Paper’s Sleigh Ride collection.
Simple but classic.
I hope this post has inspired you to finish up your Christmas preparations pronto. Happy holidays!
