Holiday gift wrap tradition

Every year in the recent past I have picked out a theme for our holiday gift wrap. It's a new tradition that I just LOVE. It makes the simplest of gifts seem extra special, and it makes a beautiful statement under the tree!

This year I went with fuschia, pink and silver. Since our apartment is small, I decided to forego the typical tree and use a small white feathered one (with gold glitter tips) I picked up at Z Gallerie last year on sale. It sits in the middle of our dining table as a centerpiece with the gifts arranged around it. (This works for us since we use the table mostly for get-togethers, not daily meals.)

I also did less bows-they are generally smooshed in the transportation back home-in lieu of more creative  and interesting ribbon. 

I used an old Adrienne Vittadini scarf as my "tree skirt." You can see it right when you come in the door, and it gives us the festive feeling of holiday decorating without giving up any floor space! 

All of the gift wrap and ribbon were purchased at Target.
