**lisnic** · 14-12-2011, 08:51pm

I always have ribbon and bows and nice tags and nice thick quality paper usually all coordinating and one type for ladies one for me one for dh one for ds etc!

I want to do a bit more again though this year

I'm thinking berries that sort of thing maybe?

Where can I get bits like this (online no more shops for me!)

Also how do you do yours?

^^ I quite like this idea. I couldn't make out from your post whether you were hoping to do an online shop or not - but I shan't be ordering more stuff online now for fear of it not arriving. Recommend you try hobbycraft or something similar.

eBay for ribbons. There's a Christmas decoration factory near me that has a factory store in Nov & Dec and they have nice things as well.

I sometimes use real bit of leaves etc. I have gained a massive holly tree this year in the house I'm renting and it is full of berries.... unfortunately it doesn't go with the colour scheme but I've cut some down to put above my pictures. What about adding a candy cane? A kids toy shop I used to go to in Spain used to gift wrap and add a balloon or a lollipop tied into the ribbon and I liked that. Another shop I went to somewhere made like a fan effect out of the end of the paper before folding it down (so it was still flat but sort of pleated) and I like to do that with plain paper sometimes. Or add a cheap Christmas decoration... bell or something... that they can put on their tree afterwards. A relative of the kids did that one year with those little wooden decorations you get in a box so we had quite a nice collection of them.

Bm that was sort of what I was thinking as everything is wrapped so can't go down the brown paper route

Um bells etc would work
