Charleston had me in a chokehold (again), so naturally I said “why not?” to 24 more hours in my favorite city 💕 We hit all our fave spots, soaked in every last bit of charm, and it was so worth it. Now back to reality… and counting down to the next getaway (even if it’s a long wait 😅)

Vintage Inspired Gift Wrapping

You know I love to put some time and effort into gift wrapping every year. And every year, I like for it to be a little different. So this year I came up with the idea of doing vintage inspired gift wrapping.

I found some pretty vintage lace ribbon on Amazon and I thought that would look so beautiful tied around my packages this year! The good news is that you can order everything I used online as well.

So if you like this look, then you can easily achieve it too! But I am going to show you just how easy and simple it is to create a beautiful wrapped present to place under your Christmas Tree this year!

Vintage inspired gift wrapping
Here is a preview of how my gifts are turning out this year!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Start With The Wrapping Paper

I always like to do just simple Kraft wrapping paper every year. But like I said above, I wanted to do something a tad bit different this year. So I found this cute 3 pack of kraft wrapping paper on Amazon as well and I knew it would be perfect.

It has subtle little prints of antlers, trees, and snowflakes but it still gives you that perfect neutral vibe like regular kraft paper does. And it is perfect for just Farmhouse Christmas decor too. Especially since it comes with a roll of antler prints too!

I love how versatile this wrapping paper can be! I looked all over at places like Target and Walmart this year, but I could not find any wrapping paper that really spoke to me.

Until I saw this one on Amazon! I knew it would look perfect under my tree this year.

Add In Some Vintage Lace Ribbon

Here is where I think you can see how my vintage inspired gift wrapping came to be. When I saw this set of vintage lace ribbon, I knew it would go perfectly with my wrapping paper.

And it definitely gives it that vintage feel that I was craving! It comes in both beige and white, but I got the beige color because I thought it would look better against the Kraft paper.

I thought the white would appear too stark.

I love how this pack comes with a variety of different laces and sizes. That way you can easily choose which piece would look better with each gift you are wrapping. I also found some colored vintage lace ribbon and I thought that would be fun to use as well.

That way I can add in some color! I thought it would be more red since that is my main color this year for Christmas. It is important to note, that it seems to be more of a burgundy color to me in person.

But, regardless it is still a very pretty ribbon and would look great underneath the tree!

I also had some leftover buffalo check ribbon from another project that I used for a few gifts as well. I like how they all don’t match perfectly, but each one goes very well together.

They all play off well from each other in my opinion. And it adds plenty of interest underneath the tree!

Make Handmade Gift Tags

If you have been around here long enough, then you know every year I love to make handmade gift tags. I also think this fits in the vintage inspired gift wrapping as well because who doesn’t love a good handmade item?!

It’s the perfect personalized touch for every gift! I like to again use Kraft colored gift tags to match the wrapping paper as well.

And then I like to use Christmas Stamps to stamp on the front of the tags. I will then add in a “To” and “From” on the back after they are dried as well.

I shared more about this process a couple of years ago when I was doing more of a Farmhouse Style Gift Wrapping too.

Finish Up Wrapping

I think these all make wonderful additions underneath your Christmas trees! I always like to stick with a theme for wrapping paper and I am loving how my theme turned out to be this year!

What do y’all think about it too?! Do you also like to stick with a certain theme when wrapping your gifts too?

If so, I would love to hear about it! I hope you enjoyed this idea of vintage inspired gift wrapping as much as I did!

Take me back to last Friday when we were in Charle Take me back to last Friday when we were in Charleston! 😉 Thought I’d share a little recap of our day in our favorite city today!
When the vacation vibes are too good to leave… so you extend the trip another day 😎✌️
Charleston had me in a chokehold (again), so naturally I said “why not?” to 24 more hours in my favorite city 💕 We hit all our fave spots, soaked in every last bit of charm, and it was so worth it. Now back to reality… and counting down to the next getaway (even if it’s a long wait 😅)

Here’s a little Christmas in July baking hack f Here’s a little Christmas in July  baking hack for you!! Bake your desserts early, before you actually need them, and then freeze them!! We all know how busy the holidays can get and the last thing you wanna do is to have to bake another dessert! That way, you just have to lay them out in the fridge the night before! I’ve been doing this for years and it always saves me so much time!

Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱 Before Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱
Before it slips away, I had to share one more dose of Christmas in July magic! ✨🎄
Every year, one of my favorite holiday traditions is turning my coffee bar into a cozy little hot cocoa bar, and it seriously brings all the festive feels.
There’s just something so magical about sipping hot cocoa by the glow of a Christmas tree, even if it’s 90 degrees outside! 😍☕️
Bring on the marshmallows and twinkle lights, cozy season is always welcome here.
Who says festive drinks are just for December?! 🎄✨
These pomegranate rosemary ice cubes are one of my favorite holiday hacks, and they’re too pretty not to use year-round.
They instantly turn sparkling water into a chic little mocktail, and they look absolutely magical as they melt! 😍
So of course I had to bring them out for Christmas in July!
You can swap in cranberries too, so many fun combos to try!
Get the easy how-to on the blog:

Time to make your drinks a little more merry & bright! Even in July!
Is it even late summer if you’re not already dre Is it even late summer if you’re not already dreaming of Starbucks fall drinks?! 🍁🍎
I don’t go often, but once those cozy fall flavors hit the menu, I’m there daily.
So while we all impatiently wait, I decided to make my own Apple Oatmilk Macchiato at home… and y’all, it tastes just like the real deal!

One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨
