Best Wrapped Gifts In Town

Gift-giving is an art form from start to finish. Of course, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but why stop there? After the time and consideration you’ve spent finding the perfect gift, pretty packaging feels like a natural next step. Plus, there are just too many good options!

Penny Post, as you might expect, has so many great gift bags and wraps ranging from precious to beautiful, to whimsical, and to flat-out hilarious. At least once a day, someone laughs out loud at the gift bag that reads, “Spoiler alert, it’s NOT a puppy.” Also, the wine bag that says, “He sees you when you’re drinking,” is also pretty perfect.

Until recently, Penny Post did not have wrapping paper online since shipping is a challenge. But, the rolls are too good this year not to give you a peek. See what we have before you visit, and feel free to place an order for pickup if there is a roll you need in your life!

Our holiday wrap collection is flush with festive washi, gift tags and so many lovely ribbon options to complete “the look.” And, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, you can never have too much washi. Sealing gifts and envelopes with washi is the only way to do it. It’s such a simple and cheerful way to level up your gifts and your outgoing mail.

Red Barn Mercantile has a few little surprises as well – gift tags, stickers, and some really adorable washi. Plus, we have ornaments galore! If you really want to show off, including an ornament on the outside is a really fun and festive way to make a gift really special.

We also love the idea of wrapping a gift with a strand of garland in place of ribbon as a finishing touch. The garland then becomes a part of the gift itself! The Mushroom + Orange Garland is too beautiful to put inside of a box anyway!

It's the little things, you know? Whatever you can do to bring someone else some extra joy this holiday season is worthwhile. There are so many awesome ways to make wrapping (and unwrapping) fun, and we are delighted to be your source of happy gift giving.
