You don't have to be an expert wrapper to make a statement with your gifts. Choose a color palette — like green and gold here — and pick different bows and wrapping paper for each gift.Shutterstock
Brown paper packages tied up with string are already classic. But add in a spring of pine and a dried orange slice, and you've got a lovely, old world gift fit for a Cratchit.Shutterstock

Neutrals are forever in style, and small things like bits of lace and twine can really make a gift feel luxurious.

I know, these are the perfect, quintessential Christmas gifts. It's hard to imagine wrapping a Baby Yoda into one of these, but the trick is simple: put the item in a box, and then wrap the box, according to a legit Macy's gift wrapper.

Boxes are your friend. You can find gorgeous ones that require nothing but the gift inside — and maybe just a bow on top.Shutterstock
Cheap paper is a trap — don't fall for it. Thick, heavy wrapping paper is easier to work with and looks so much more beautiful.Shutterstock

Martha Stewart says double-sided tape is "indispensable" for wrapping gifts neatly, and I think you should trust her.
