GIFT WRAPPING TIPS Inspiration and tips for wrapping your presents this Christmas by Jacinta Miller Tip: Kick things off with some good coffee handy, an oversized sweater, some rad music, and some crazy, soft, socks. All this sounds cliche, I know. But it’s what I do, and it works best for me. Another thing that gets the creative juices flowing for me is a good candle. A good candle ef- fects my mood and attitude. Am I crazy? Probably. I’m a candle junkie. Sadly, some give me head- aches, so once I find one that I love I stick with it. My all-time favorite scent is vanilla bean noel. Confession time: I may or may not have the lotion, perfume, and candle in that scent. And I wonder why I’m broke. Tip: Music is tops. Some good tunes and you’re bound for some sucess. Yesterday I got a record player. It makes me so happy and makes me feel all the feels. Ahh, I love music. Tip: Did you notice there aren’t any gift bags? One tip is to take the time to wrap it! It shows them you put a little more time into their gift. Confession time: I’m guilty of giving into the “Throw everything in this gift bag from under my bed and top it off with some old tissue paper”. Tip: If you’re like me and you have an instax camera, you’ve had a few fails, am I right? I like to write a little message on them as part of my gift. A gold mark- er is always a good go-to. Sadly I didn’t capture this in the photos. My apologies.
