Budget Botanical Gift Wrap Idea

December 1, 2017 by CORINNA HENDERSON

Holiday Gift Wrapping Idea With Dollar Store Supplies- botanical inspired

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is gift wrapping. I love finding unique ways to use materials and really going all out with my choices in gift wrap, bows, ribbon, etc. The past few years, I haven’t been very inspired, but this year inspiration struck. With a quick trip to the dollar store, I had everything I needed for these botanical foliage gift wrap ideas.

This post is a collaboration with 6 other bloggers who are using items from the dollar store to create holiday gifts and decor. Visit their projects at the end of this post.

I made them so it’s easy for me to be pretty jazzed about them. But, I really like how they turned out! The poinsettia is the only part that is holiday themed so it can be adapted for a variety of different gift giving situations, too.

I know finding things in one dollar store at another can be difficult sometimes. The floral section seems to be pretty consistent, but if you are having trouble finding these exact items I have a few alternative material ideas-

  • Jute twine from hardware section
  • Burlap from floral section
  • White ribbon from gift wrap and floral section
  • Glitter ribbon from the holiday section
  • Green paper covered floral wire
  • Craft paper from the mailing section
  • Other colors in the plain gift wrap
  • White gift boxes from the holiday section

Starting LDN and everything else I’ve tried for CFS so far…

I’ve been taking low dose naltrexone (ldn) for just over a month at this point and I wanted to share an update on how it’s been going thus far. I started taking ldn because I tried everything else in an attempt to feel better. At my last PCP appointment, I told him I’d be trying […]

Checkerboard: The Latest Insta-Trend

You ever first see a trend and think, “nope, not for me.” That was, and still a little, me with the checkerboard trend. I’ve never liked checkerboard walls or floors.

Hispanic Heritage Month is upon us! It’s always my goal to be mindful of where I’m spending my money. During Heritage and Pride months, I try to make an effort to seek out brands that I may not otherwise be aware of. It’s no surprise, what’s out there is truly amazing. And I want to […]
