Well, it’s November and I’m already breaking out the holiday decor,which you’ve already seen if you follow me on instagram. I probably won’t put my tree up until after Thanksgiving, but I’m enjoying infusing a little holiday cheer into our home early.
During Harper’s naptime today, I got out some trusty crafting supplies and got to work. I used some Spritz gift wrap that I purchased on sale at Target several weeks ago to create some gift tags and to wrap a gift:
Next. I cut the gift wrap into the shape of a gift tag and used a second floral-print paper (also from an invitation set I got at Target forever ago) to create little gift tags. I added twine and used a Sharpie to write messages of holiday cheer on the tags.
Finally, I cut out the letter “H” for Harper’s name and affixed it with a hot glue gun to a square piece of felt. Then, I used some glitter tulle that I got from an event I attended (it was wrapped around the dinner napkins and I thought I could use it for a craft and took it home- they were throwing them away anyway!) Finally, I used some glitter ribbon to secure the middle of the bow and added thick twine to affix it to a gift (or you could also use it as an ornament!)
This year will be the first year my H and I will host Christmas dinner so I’m also looking at items that will prettify my dining table. Right now I’m really loving these mercury glass accessories and these ombre glasses (both from Target). I think they add an element of glam to a dinner table, which is exactly the look I’m going for. I’ll be sure to update y’all on what my Christmas dinner and table decor plans are!
I love your gift wrap! I am definitely going to try something similar!
Isn't the first Christmas with a child exciting? 🙂

I made some fall wreaths for myself and a girlfriend, and am starting on Christmas ones this week. I usually made gift tags for baked goods that I gift as well. Love the tags you made, great idea! xo ~Jenn

I cleaned out target when I found that wrap for 50 cents a roll! I love it and have wrapped a few things with it so far….super cute!
I'm obsessed with gift wrap & gift wrapping supplies and this paper is so pretty! I love the ornament, the bow totally makes it!
That's so exciting that you're hosting for the first time this year! I love the glassware.
Going to get that gift wrap tomorrow. And probably some of the ombre glasses. Bust have to decide which ones…
love that gift wrap – your package is so pretty!
I always envy anyone that can wrap presents and make it look presentable!! I'm actually creating all the place cards for thanksgiving this year – and incorporating some unused pumpkins from Halloween!
Happy Monday!

Everything came out Pretty! I wrapped some of the boys presents last year with similar paper to what you used and decorated them with colored polka dots I punched out of tissue paper. They came out cute. I always wrap some from Santa and some from Mom and Dad so I try to wrap in two different styles. I always hang Christmas balls from my dining room chandelier. I am definitely making a garland out of Christmas balls(Inspired by the one you did for Halloween). I bought a big set of a mix of gold colored balls(Some sparkly some metallic). I was thinking of getting a big turquoise feather boa to wrap around the Christmas tree and intertwine it with garland. Thought it might look cute
I love this idea! So chic!
