xmas wrap 1xmas wrap 2xmas wrap 3xmas wrap 4xmas wrap 5It was about time for a paper bag but seeing as it’s Christmas eve tomorrow and I’ve been wrapping my gifts in some oldie but very goodie wrapping paper, I think mostly from the 60s and 70s, I thought I’d share the best ones with you.

I love the naive, unashamedly cute ones. Also the fact that they look a bit rough next to the digital cleanliness of the wrapping paper you get today.

AND I’ve finished all my giftwrapping now so I’m feeling a little smug and maybe I deserve a Bendick’s Bittermint…or an Advocaat Barrel….or BOTH!
