Glossy paper looks busy and goes in the bin. Kraft paper, newspaper comics, or a scarf you mean as part of the gift all work.

Ideas to try

  • Kraft paper and twine, with a sprig of rosemary.
  • A dried orange slice tied under the bow.
  • A child’s drawing as the wrapping paper.
  • A tea towel as the wrap, so the wrap is the second gift.
  • Brown paper stamped with a potato or an apple.
  • No tape on the scarf wraps. A knot is enough.
