14 Perfect Examples of Boutique-Worthy Wrapping Paper (at Drugstore Prices)

I come from a family that never sent out Christmas cards or even put that much effort into decorating beyond the tree for the holidays, but the one thing that’s become a staple for us each year is taking the time to beautifully wrap our gifts. Gone are the days of drugstore-bought cartoon Santas and “ho ho ho” typography—now, my mom prides herself on her gift wrap selection, and I’m all about the ribbon placement. And it’s interesting to see how the more effort we put into wrapping gifts, the more excited the recipients are to open them—not without marveling at the wrapping first, though.

There’s a misconception that high-end gift wrap comes with a high cost, but so long as you know where to look, you can find some really lovely wrapping paper that 1) will look incredible under your tree no matter what your aesthetic is, 2) your friends and family will love, and 3) still falls within that drugstore price point.

And honestly, once you see these stunners, you’ll never step foot in the drugstore again—at least not to buy gift wrap.
