'Tis the season to be jolly, generous and festive and what better way to feel the festive flavour than giving away beautifully wrapped gifts? I love creative ways to wrap presents, so I thought I'd share with you all if you haven't done your gift wrapping yet! If you need more inspiration check out the first 'Beautifully Wrapped' series here.
Whilst some of us may not be expecting much this Christmas it is good to receive something, even if it is handmade or small but beautifully wrapped and even if you're not feeling the festive mood, it is good to give. I don't know about you guys, but here in Greece, times are pretty hard. I haven't gone crazy on the X-mas shopping front, but I will be personalising and making my own gifts to give to others and doing my bit over this X-mas.
I found out via Glamour UK that you can donate your paypacket - well an hour of your wages each month to any given charity you wish via: whatsonehourworth.co.uk, not sure if there's an equivalent in the US or anywhere else in the world.
As blogger's we post pictures, share and write a lot. Well, you can put that pen & paper to good use for postpals.co.uk which is supported by the BBC Children in Need, the Prince's Trust and Fearne cotton's inspiration. Postpals.co.uk features the profiles of not so very well children (approved by their parents of course). You can help by writing letters, sending emails or even sending a gift to brighten up their day or put a smile on their face. Anyhoos, they're always on the lookout for volunteers and fundraisers! Do your bit and have a heart!
If any of you have any fantastic giving sites, charity links that help support others this Christmas, please drop me an email or leave a comment below, I'll be more than happy to update this post with the relevant links.

I love this post - such beautifully wrapped gifts. I would love those no matter what's in them! A FANTASTIC site I recently discovered is giftsthatgive.com - you can shop tons of items and brands, and if you buy through them then they donate 20% to the charity of your choice. Check it out!

Hi there.just popped over from Vanessa's blog. Great post, I was just getting tired of everything being so commercial and superficial, so reading your ideas has been a tonic!

Really nice and different wrapped gifts! Love especially the ones with the notes! I also used such paper for something once upon the time, but now I can't remember for what...! Maybe I wrote letters on them.
♥♥♥
great ideas!!! hope you're having a great weekend!
Christmas really is one of my favorite seasons of the year! I love wrapping presents, too. Gold wrapping paper with a red ribbon is one of my favorite ways to wrap a present! I also like the first picture with wrapping a present with a map! Very creative!
Best wishes,

Hey Guys,

Sorry I've not had the chance to stop by yet!
New Readers, Welcome!!!
My regular lovelies! See ya on Planet Twitter for more shenanigans!

So many AMAZING wrapping ideas! xx
Beautiful wrapping ideas! I'm afraid I'm rather boring in that department. My kids rip up their gifts so fast it seems inappropriate to take a long time dressing up the presents. Just a bunch of packages under the tree seem to make them happy!
Fabulous gift wrapping ideas! I love the candy canes wrapped in twine!
So beautiful! Your blog inspire me a lot :)
