It has always been tradition for us to wrap most gifts on Christmas Eve after the kids are tucked in tight. It is a fun way that we can sit and watch a movie, have some drinks, and enjoy the evening before the hectic day of Christmas arrives.
The only problem with that, is that we still have to do a lot of prep to make sure we have the supplies we need before hand! So I did some digging to find some fun new ideas for gift wrapping! I came up with this roundup! Continue reading
