HANDMADE HOLIDAY - wrapping ideas

I love every aspect of gift giving.  Whether I make the gift myself or buy if from a store.  The final wrapping is no exception.  We're always rushing around and sometimes I lack in the presentation department.  I am happy with some of our gifts though.

I wrapped my Dad's tie (will post a little later) with a handmade handkerchief.  For little presents this is a very low environmental impact wrapping job.

I reused some of the tissue paper Mike brought home from one of his Christmas present purchases.  

Lastly, I thought I invented this wrapping technique when I was in highschool. Which was more than ten years ago but, unfortunately for me, despite how cute it is many, many people have done it.
