Print a set of wrapping station labels on white cardstock. These can be folded to stand up as table tents, or reduced with a paper trimmer to be a flat label.

Wrap a cardboard box in a solid shade and decorate with ribbon. Line the inside with an inexpensive fur table runner or other fabric to conceal the cardboard. Lay assorted rolls of gift wrap, kraft paper and holiday bandanas to use as gift wrap. Fabric bandanas are great for wrapping soft items like plush toys, socks and scrunchees, and also make cute bows! Don't forget to attach the printable tag to label the box.

Add boxes for ribbon and twine, as well as fun tie ons. What's a tie on? A tie on is a fun and unexpected bauble to hang from the front of your package. These can range from cute bell necklaces, to holiday pinwheels, even a shatterproof ornament or pom poms tied with Christmas baker's twine. There's a label for everything, so that your holiday gift wrapping will be a breeze.
