Easy Wrapping Ideas for Last-Minute Christmas Gifts

You guys, it's Christmas time already! I have been feeling it only since yesterday because I am finally home. Even though the internet connection here sucks and my stomach ain't feeling so good (last night's tequila shots to blame?), I still feel happy.

Sssh, but I still have some late Christmas shopping to pursue. Maybe tomorrow. I sucked at wrapping gifts this year. Blame work, graduate studies and the expensive wrappers. But, today, I am going to share some ways on how to wrap your inspirational gifts for your loved ones this Christmas if you have limited time! Here are the cute ones I found in Pinterest that are easy to follow. I need these in the coming days.

You can never go wrong with a lace. You can dress your gifts with a dainty kind of vintage finish. A simple brown paper will be instantly glammed up with a floral lace and some silky bows.

There are gift wrappers which you could play with. This one for instance features a crossword with the word 'Christmas' in it. If you want, you could do a personalized wrapper with the name of the recipient in the wrapper. You have to carefully choose where it would be printed so that it shows on the upper side when you have finished wrapping.

I have seen this kind of wrapping in the Daykeeper Journals. And I kind of feel bad because my journal didn't arrive on time. Tsk. Poor delivery service. I am still hoping I can have it when I got back on January. Back to the wrapping. You could stamp out the name of the recipient along with some message like, 'Merry Holidays (name)' or 'Spread the love, (name)'.

I have no idea how the creator made this, but it's extremely wintery. You could search for Pinterest DIYs on how to do the knitted Christmas wraps. This reminds me of hot chocolate Christmas drinks with peppermint marshmallows on top.

I personally like blush hues and neutral tones so when I saw this wrap, I felt a thug in my heart. Yes, crafts are one of the few things that can actually make my heart feel so alive. This is a simple wrapping to do. Perfect if you're quite tight on your time budget. After wrapping the usual way, you can just tie out some silky ribbons and pluck in some Christmas details.

I Guess I'm Falling Deeper in Love

with life everyday. I don't know why, but I like it.  Maybe because I have finally discovered and devoted time in reading the bible. I bought one with a purple cover last January when I came back here in Cavite. The move of buying one just struck me. It also has colorful illustrations, which makes learning the Word of God more interesting.  Or maybe because I've finally realized that I love my job this afternoon when I have started debugging. I felt the rush to do the task and my hands are itching to make them work. At first, though, I was helpless since I still don't know how my department works, but I became familiar and comfortable after some time. The job that I have right now is the job that I've been envisioning during my college years -- interfacing the hardware with the software. I like making this combo work. :) I then again received my horoscope message from my mom. It's as if I am subscribing to a random surprise horoscope. It goes like this: You...

A History Not So Long Ago

I have made a pact with myself a few months ago to read all my electronic and communications books for the upcoming ECE board exams next year. However, when I got to the part,FAQs: The Internet & WWW, I had a hard time concentrating when my laptop with an internet connection is just a mere 4 feet away from me. Walking away from my boring study table and sitting on the shining throne sitting in front of my Compaq would be effortless. Congratulate me though, I finished reading the entire chapter before I plunge into this sweetest escape, the Internet. But first, I want to give credits to a bunch of geniuses for providing humanity an intangible space, in which they can boldly do incredible things. First off, to the US Military, for developing and deploying communications networks,one of which is the ARPANET, which is, in turn, believed to be the precursor of the Internet. To the National Science Foundation (NSF) for administering the research of the Internet. Basically, the Inte...

I am absolutely in love with JGT all over again.

I just watched Inception today. OMG. I am getting old. I can't watch a great movie in time, but I wanted to thanks myself for treating out myself. I stopped writing articles this afternoon for the reason that my back hurt. So, instead, I gave in to movie watching. Yay me. I don't have time to review the movie, Inception. Maybe next time. My 24 hours is just too short for my every-weekend life. I need more time to blog and write articles. But anyway, I so appreciate the movie. Too bad I didn't watched it with him. If he was a movie, he'll be Inception. It is so him, deep and interesting and so darn smart. But anyway, back to JGT. I love him more than ever! :D I liked him during the Angels in the Outfield Days. I can still remember the fuzzy warm feeling around my heart everytime I watched the film. Hey, I was young! I'm infatuated with him in Ten Things About You. So cute. With his dimples and expressions and everything. I wished I was Summer Finn in 500...
