The Southern preppy style of this wrapping collection makes it easy to play with. You really can’t go wrong with going maximalist or adding glitter, or even keeping it simple. But, I think we all know I’m probably not going to keep it simple.

I started with the blue gingham paper, knowing I wanted to add a scalloped detail to my large present. Because the paper is double sided (yay!), I didn’t need to supplement the Simplified paper with any other brands. I cut one end of the blue gingham into a scalloped trim. Then, using a scrap piece of the same roll (which has a dark blue back) cut out another graphic trim that echoed the gingham one. Before adding adhesive to the gingham wrap I slipped the dark blue piece underneath, so that the scallop really shows. And, instead of adding a traditional ribbon around the box, I added a few small bows down the side. Adorable!

The Simplified Nutcracker Christmas wrapping is a dream because it has such a large color palette. The nutcrackers are done in an ombre of Simplified’s cheeful color palette. I love a non-traditional Christmas palette, so this gift wrap is an easy win for me! Since one of the gifts I was wrapping was a hardbacked book, I thought it would be fun to add a gold corner detail that called-back to the metal edges Simplified adds to their planners. It’s one of those things that my gift recipient won’t get, but I love it and it looks interesting. A pink scalloped bow ties this gift into my gingham scalloped package.

While I love the nutcracker gift wrap, my favorite roll is the pineapples and holly. It feels festive and fresh. I ended up wrapping quite a few gifts in that paper, and then wishing I’d ordered enough to wrap more. The corresponding pineapple and holly ribbon is lovely too. The colors are a little more vibrant, but it pairs well together and would look gorgeous on pink or white gift wrap!
