It's A Wrap

Spent last night wrapping all the Christmas presents we were not gonna buy this year.  Seriously this happens every year, we decide that we will buy gifts for the nephews and just small token gifts or gift cards for everybody else and then we go shopping.  My Hubbin and I should never be allowed to go shopping together, our tastes, sense of humor, and monetary spending habits are near identical and it is very rare for one of us to be the adult and say "maybe Suzie Q doesn't need a thousandth candle holder even if it does have cats on it", it's more like "wouldn't this be perfect for Suzie Q it has a cat on it, she loves cats" and the other person is like "Oh that is sooooo perfect it will go with the other 999 cat related items she can't actually use but we get for her anyways, lets get it".  So anyways this leads to epic marathons of wrapping...which is fine with me 'cause I think it looks so pretty under the tree.  I also like to coordinate my wrapping with the tree each year 'cause that 's how I roll so it's always fun holding out for the perfect roll of wrapping paper.  Here are some literary wrapping ideas for you to coordinate with your bookshelves :-)
Christmas Book Wrapping Paper
Sorry for the blurry pic, but go to the site and check it out. it's pretty awesome.
Penguin Classics Wrapping Paper
I love the bright colors of this paper.
Vintage Book Pages
This would also be an easy DIY project
Book Bow
You can also use pages as accents instead of the whole wrapping (that is what I did this year)
Page Runner Package
Only attempt this if you are of a Martha Stewart type...or you are keeping it for yourself :-)

Hope you all have fun wrapping your presents in these awesome book related wrappings, keeping Christmas literary...just the way it was intended ;-)

Are you a wrapper or a bagger?  Do you coordinate your gift wrapping with your decor or do you just go to town?  What do you watch/listen/ignore while doing your Christmas wrapping?
