Wrapping
There is such a feeling of satisfaction when you cross the last gift off your shopping list, and can turn your attention to wrapping. In our office, some of us wrap as we go, while others sit in front of a giant pile on Christmas Eve (with Elf playing and a tumbler of mulled wine), wrapping into the wee hours. Whatever your style, nothing makes the job more pleasant than having your supplies in order. So we’ve found everything you need for your wrapping drawer, from stylish scissors to printed tags and fun flourishes.
