I grew up in a large, old house and we didn't worry much about storage. There were plenty of closets, cabinets and shelves and if those couldn't hold your stuff, there was an attic, basement or garage. Fast forward (going extra fast through the Doogie Howser haircut years) a few decades and I'm all grown up, living in a fraction of the space and having to limit purchases in many areas: one of them being wrapping paper. Unlike my mom who had rolls of wrapping paper for every season and holiday, I only have space for one or two so I keep it basic with brown kraft paper and embellish gifts with beautiful tags. And I haven't needed to buy tags in a long time thanks to the generosity of artists, illustrators and bloggers who share ones they make. Here are my favorites this year…

Some of these are fresh off the "presses" for this holiday season and others have been available for awhile, but escaped our attention. Simply download them, print and cut!

Happy wrapping!
