Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas for Kids' Birthday Gifts

• Wrapping Paper: I like to keep a couple patterns around of our new luxe gift wrap, along with a large ream of glossy white paper. That way I can mix and match my ribbons and gift tags and gift stickers for different looks.
• Ribbon: I buy all of my grosgrain ribbon from The Ribbon Factory. The quality is great, and it's very reasonably price!  I like to get 2 solids and 2 stripes a season in the 1 1/2" width.
• Gift Tags + Stickers: I like to keep a combination of tags and gift stickers on hand, and always make sure I have a couple for our family, one from just me, and one from each of my children.  I choose designs to work in the same color palette as my ribbon.

By stocking up on coordinating wrap, ribbon and gift tags and stickers, I am prepared to wrap at a moment's notice, and always show up with a gift that gets ooh's and ahh's.
