Confession time: I
am that annoying person who starts listening to Christmas music slightly before
Halloween, and I actually love wrapping gifts and making bows. Every Christmas
when I was little I was completely mesmerized by the gift wrapping people who
worked at the mall, and always wished I was a little older so I could learn how
to wrap gifts as perfectly as they did.
When I first started
wrapping my own gifts my two biggest challenges were wrapping the gifts tight
enough and making a bow to go on top that I deemed ‘perfect’. I am proud to say
that over the years I have mastered the crisp lines and that oh so perfect bow
to tie everything together. Over the past five or so years I have encountered a
new challenge – finding wrapping paper that is not only great quality, but has
a traditional Christmas print that brings on that sense of nostalgia in a way
that only Christmas can.
American Greetings
is the wrapping paper that was my childhood. I used to love waking up Christmas
morning, walk into the living room, and see what appeared to be a sea of gifts
all wrapped so beautifully that it looked like a page right out of a storybook.
Even till this day there is nothing like running your hands over that first
gift and hearing the crinkle of paper as the present is unwrapped.
My saving grace
during the holiday season is that American Greetings is still around producing
beautiful wrapping paper, and I can order it from Amazon with one click of a
button. Believe it or not, I think the quality of American Greeting wrapping
paper has improved. They still make their beautiful traditional prints and I absolutely
love the fact that their wrapping paper is double sided with a different print
on each side,
One of my biggest
pet peeves when it comes to wrapping paper of any sort is when it’s on the
thinner side and you can either see through it or it rippes when you are in the
process of wrapping a present. This is one problem you definitely won’t run
into with American Greetings, plus, when your gift is unwrapped the paper is
equally as beautiful on the back as it is on the outside.
This holiday season
shower the people you know from your childhood with a does of nostalgic, and
bring a smile to our new generation with American Greeting wrapping poster.
