Running out of gift wrap is usually a bad thing. But there’s one time of year when I get really, really excited about realizing I need to go buy more, and that’s right before Hallmark’s annual BOGO 50% Holiday Gift Wrap sale. 

That’s right—I’m not getting exactly what I need to wrap those last few gifts on this trip. Ohhh, no. I’m completely cleaned out and it’s time to stock up. Giving myself full permission to “go a little bananas” as my husband likes to say. And that means this year, all the gifts under my tree will match like something straight out of a magazine. If that sounds like a dream come true to you, too, keep reading!

Christmas Gift Wrap Theme #1: Timeless Classics  

A pile of Christmas presents wrapped in gift wrap, bags and tissue in traditional holiday colors of red, green and white.

You can practically hear this look, can’t you? A crackling fire, classic Christmas songs being crooned from a corner somewhere—possibly on vinyl. It’s elegant and timeless and will always be in style. 

This look is for you if: 

  • Plaid makes you happy and you can’t explain why
  • You wish you could live on the set of a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie
  • You generally prefer something classic over anything trendy
  • You feel like decor isn’t Christmas-y unless it’s red and green

Christmas Gift Wrap Theme #2: Keepin’ It Cozy  

A pile of presents wrapped in a cozy theme, with understated colors like gray, dark green, brown craft paper and white.

There’s something to be said for simplicity at the holidays. It’s almost as if it allows the special people you’re gathering with to shine all the brighter. With this look, gifts are still a part of the occasion, but the moments you make over them can take center stage.

This look is for you if:

  • You gravitate toward Scandinavian furniture
  • You know what hygge is and you live it every winter
  • Your wardrobe has a limited color palette
  • You like things that look put together but not overdone

Christmas Gift Wrap Theme #3: Holographic Holiday  

A large number of presents wrapped in bright, rainbow-colored and holographic gift wrap and bags. In the background is a cactus wrapped with Christmas lights and ornament bulbs.

There’s no law anywhere that states red and green are the ONLY colors that can be used at Christmas, and it’s perfectly acceptable to make use of that knowledge. It’s also perfectly acceptable to make a Christmas tree out of anything you please. Just mind the cactus needles.

This look is for you if:

  • You’re the life of the party everywhere you go
  • You think rainbow is a color
  • You’ve never thought of anything as “too much”
  • People tend to describe you as quirky

Christmas Gift Wrap Theme #4: Cute Kid at Heart  

A pile of Christmas presents wrapped in a kids theme, with gift wrap and bags that feature cute cartoon Santas, polar bears and penguins.

There’s nothing like being a kid at Christmas. The wonder, the anticipation, the sugar rush—it’s all fodder for some of our best-loved memories. This collection captures all that festive fun and ties a big, red bow on it.

This look is for you if:

  • You have embraced the chaos of having a child under the age of 5
  • You adore anything with rosy cheeks and big eyes
  • You want to stay connected to that “little kid on Christmas Eve” feeling
  • You think the best part of Christmas cookies is the frosting

Christmas Gift Wrap Theme #5: Modern Vintage Vibes  

A number of gifts wrapped in vintage modern gift wrap and bags clustered around a gold tinsel tree.

There was a time in history when gold and velvet and patterns all lived together in luxurious harmony, and it’s called the 1960s. (Well, okay, also all of Europe in the 1700s, so let’s say “recent history.”) Anyway! This look is back in style, and it’s fabulous.

This look is for you if:

  • Mixing patterns has never, ever scared you
  • You love thrift store shopping more than anyone you know
  • Mid-century anything is totally your jam
  • You like reusing, repurposing and recycling anything from detergent bottles to department-store mannequins
