Happy Wednesday everyone! We’ve been having some really beautiful warm December weather in Iowa the past week or so which has left my boys with some serious concern about Christmas not coming if there hasn’t been snow. I will admit that I’m usually all about the snow in December! The feeling lasts until mid-January when I am OVER all the snow and ready for spring. My older boys have been super annoyed about having to wear a winter coat in the morning to school and then – and I quote – “roasting like warm marshmallows” in them by recess time. I think this warm weather is about over and I think we are all ready for the weather to feel like Christmas time too.
It was time for my annual trip to the Dollar Store for Christmas wrapping paper last night and made out like a bandit. π I love getting all my wrapping supplies there: paper, tissue paper, boxes, ribbon/bows and TAPE. All. The. Tape. Partially because I go through a lot and partially because I always misplace half of it. Tell me I’m not the only one.
I love buying wrapping supplies at the Dollar Store because then I can afford to buy a bunch of different pretty papers plus the character wrapping paper that our kids love without spending very much. Our Santa always wraps his gifts in gold paper (or puts big gold bows on larger items) so I dig through the wrapping paper bins and buy up all the gold too. π
One thing I never buy there though is gift tags! I love me some cute gift tags and the ones in stores just don’t really do it. I created these gift tags forΒ our gifts this year and you can download this FREE printable too! Right here! Print them, cut them out, tape on or string them on a ribbon and a super cute gift you have! OR you can buy this label paper and print them on that instead. I love using label paper because you cut them out, peel off the back and they are stickers ready to go!
And don’t forget about those gifts from Santa!
PLUS, I also created these cute Santa gift tags! You can find those to download here.

I considered trying to have all my wrapping done this week so I didn’t have to worry about it but then I realized that wrapping to me isn’t a chore. I love to wrap gifts! Josh and I always settle in with a Christmas movie and hot chocolate while I wrap gifts a little every night the week or so before Christmas and I like it that way. π

Do you dread wrapping gifts or look forward to it like me?

These are so cute!! Thank you for taking the time to make them!
I’m saving them right now to print out for when we do our Christmas wrapping!
Thanks Lisa! I hope you enjoy them!
These tags are so cute! I love how you did the ones from Santa too!
This year my older boys are 6 and 4 and they are wise to mom’s handwriting on gifts. π I feel like Santa would have fancy tags like these, right?
So cute! The perfect addition to a beautifully wrapped gift π
Yes! Or the way to make a not so beautifully wrapped gift look like it. Haha!
I love both of these!! It has finally gotten a lot colder here in TX which I am very excited about. I hope it stays this cold for Christmas.
Thank you! This week has just started to feel like winter in Iowa. Hope your cold weather stays for Christmas!
These are adorable! The snowman is my favorite!
Thank you! I love the snowman too!
These tags are too cute! I can’t wait to use them
Thank you! Me too! I have them ready to start wrapping this weekend. π
I love these tags! I was thinking of making some tags for my own gifts too!
Absolutely adorable gift tags.
Thank you for sharing your talent!!
