I love being able to take something that we would tend to take for granted, like wrapping paper, and turn it into a decorative feature. I also love wrapping paper that has a little more substance to it, so that you can actually use it without the fear that it will rip as soon as you touch it. Boxes are another strong favourite, especially for housing those awkwardly shaped gifts and thus making them easier to wrap.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2746\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/B.jpg\" alt=\"Black, White, Kraft Gift Wrapping\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/B.jpg 734w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/B-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2751\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/G.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Morning\" width=\"600\" height=\"948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/G.jpg 701w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/G-190x300.jpg 190w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/G-648x1024.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2752\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/H.jpg\" alt=\"Chalkboard Wrapping Paper\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/H.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/H-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/H-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/H-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My favourite wrapping paper for this Christmas just has to be this Chalkboard Wrapping Paper. While it&#8217;s a little thicker than what you might be used to, it definitely has the strength to handle the folding and tugging that a good wrapping paper should be able to endure. It also has a nice smooth finish unlike the giant sheets of black paper we used to get in the classroom. I think it&#8217;s because of these two features that its ideal for decorating.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2749\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/E.jpg\" alt=\"Chalkboard Pen on Chalkboard Paper\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/E.jpg 734w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/E-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Use chalk or a good quality chalk pen to personalise each gift.
