Ever thought of wrapping a wine bottle… in socks?
How about egg crates, with a rebel goth rabbit detail? 🤘
2018’s best gift wrap ideas exhibit outside-the-box creativity. 😝 They are made with inexpensive, easy to get materials, some of which you might already have. All of this gift wrap can be sourced second-hand, and most can be reused.
These are also easy. A lot of the ideas I loved were a little too involved for me *cough*. We’re skipping those.
Row 1:
- Sock-wrapped wine bottles here

2. Cookie mason jar here

3. Dish towel wrapping paper here
Hint: Silk scarves and fabric scraps work, too. To prevent fraying, edge with pinking shears.
Row 2
4. Old book pages and string here
Other beautiful found pages include sheets of music, kids’ coloring pages (with permission, obvs.), and graph paper.

Another example, this time with a takeout box:
Perk: These are compostable!
6. Hand-drawn mason jar with dried flowers here
Source brown paper from leftover Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods bags.
Variation: Use fresh greens from around your yard. Holly would look great!

9. Unconventional baskets. Ever think about making your own gift basket… from a mug?
There are so many incredible mugs and bespoke china teacups at the thrift store in new condition. Other ideas: baskets made of glass pitchers, tin cans and buckets.
