Part of the fun of giving gifts is creating an atmosphere of joy—where the giver gets as much joy as the receiver of the gift! So if you’re wrapping paper supply is running low, don’t sweat it! You might be able to Paint it On—-the wrapping paper that is! Let the stress melt away as you find affordable craft paper bags at your local Dollar Tree. Use recycled bubble wrap to paint on the perfect colors of delight or let your children draw festive illustrations on them. Use recycled ribbons and catalog clippings to personalize your gifts this season! Use what you have to stretch your dollars——-and create memories along the way! You might have a bit of a mess to clean up when you’re done but you won’t miss out on the gratitude when your children see Santa himself emerge accidentally from a little festive bag painting!
Make your wrapping station one filled with memories! Don’t forget about our list of items to restock after the holidays. The wrapping paper, the ribbons, the tags, tape—grab them at deep, discounted prices after Christmas. For now, use what you have! Or share supplies with a friend/neighbor—return the favor with something they need (and it just might be a cup of coffee or a platter of cookies—-or just time to visit)!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Merry Christmas!
