Boys Will Be Boys . . . So Wrap Up Their Toys

Now that you've gotten a few ideas for hand made gifts, it's time to start thinking about how to wrap those presents.I know my boys want to just rip into those presents under the tree, but seeing as how their idea of Christmas morning wake up time is WAY different from mine, they (hopefully) spend quite a few minutes staring at those presents before mommy and daddy make it down the stairs. Keeping the kids interested in the wrappings is the best defense I've come up with for distracting them from ripping the paper right off. I've been working on a secret little round up of creative Christmas packaging options, that I'm revealing to you today.

Here are my favorites in no particular order:

1.  Chalkboard Wrapping Paper  2.  Pencil Eraser Patterns  3.  Drift Wood Paper  4.  Santa Letter Sack
5.  Humorous Notes  6.  Christmas Character Tubes  7.  Recycled Map Paper  8.  Word Search Name Paper  9.  Lego Mini-figure Wrapping Paper

I've many more boy friendly wrapping ideas on my formerly "secret" pin board which is now open for your perusal.  Click here to see all of the pins.
