November 2024 - Feel Good Gifting (and Wrapping)
Happy November, Thanksgiving and (almost) Christmas time! It’s also GO TIME for us at Joy Creative Shop. A bit like Santa’s workshop with a Mariah Carey Christmas soundtrack, iced peppermint mocha and a side of jingle all the way! We’re all in! It’s joyful chaos at its finest!
It’s sale season as you know and we have our Black Friday Sale ready for ya (on Monday). A chance to stock up on what you need for all things gifting and wrapping. I dedicate this joyful journal to my favorite things to make gifting and wrapping feel good this season!
Wrappers Toolkit :
- You can never have too much tape…I like to keep in a couple forms! Traditional, efficient and high tech!
- Good scissors really do make a difference. These are a my basic pair and these are fancy and make a great gift. Have recently discovered this and it’s a game changer…
- RIBBON! Ribbon is the style maker and finishing touch for any gift. I’m obsessed with this one, keep this style on hand year round and love this classic!
- If ribbon and bow tying are not your thing, then go old school with this and a new fun updated version.
- We all know tags and stickers are near and dear to my heart. This is the style I’ve chosen for this year and went ahead and got the bundle so I’m stocked and ready! I always get this style for me to give personally to friends and it also makes a great personalized gift!
- This best seller will cut your gift wrapping time in half!
- Once wrapped, ribboned and tagged it’s time to add some flair! I have found a few ornaments or toppers that are guaranteed to take your gift to next level status :
- How cute are these ornaments for personalizing each gift
- Nothing like a festive jingle to add some fun
- Going for an fresh, outdoorsy and festive look
- I’m a sucker for anything velvet, these don’t disappoint
- These just make me happy and would do the same to any gift
Gift Stacking 101:
To know me is to know my love of the more the merrier approach to gifting. Why gift a book, when you can gift a trio of favorite things : A book, cute socks and a gift card. You see how I think about things! It’s finding the perfect thing(s) for your people and creating a little stack of items. Not only fun to give, but makes wrapping extra cute! Here are a few favorite themes this year!

XOXO, Steph
