One of my favorite things to do around the holidays is to wrap presents! For years, I've usually been tasked with being my mother's tape holder or holding down the ribbon while she cleverly tied the bow. It wasn't until recently that I promoted myself to gift-wrapper and began wrapping my friend's and family's presents. Personally, I enjoy cute gift wrapping paper with a ribbon that compliments the colors featured on the wrapping paper.

Using actual ribbon to tie your presents.

In the past, I've always used thin ribbon to wrap my presents. It allowed me to use multiple strands, was easy to tie, and it could curl! However, it wasn't until this year that I wanted to try something a little different. Instead of using thin ribbon, I decided to be a bit adventurous and bought a thicker ribbon. The bows for these are more straightforward and aren't great at curling, but personally, I think they look ten times more classy than thinner ribbon!

Using present tags instead of stickers.

I really like the way a present tag looks versus a sticker. Despite the ease of a peel and stick of a sticker, present tags offer a cleaner look, giving it a great aesthetic!

Folding wrapping paper to give a layered look.

I recently picked up the trick of folding wrapping paper to look like layers. In high school, one of my upperclassmen friends who also loved gift-wrapping had given me a present with the layered look. Ever since then, I've incorporated it into my own style of wrapping presents, which helps my presents look that much cuter!

I think that making a tier of presents when you have more than one present for one person is a great idea. It's an even better touch when you use various types of gift wrapping paper so it's more of a pattern!

Tying a decorative piece to the ribbon.

Finally, adding a nice decorative piece to your ribbon is always a fitting finishing touch! Sometimes when you feel like the presentation of a present lacks even with a ribbon and tag, you can always give your gift a bit of flair with a small decorative piece like a bell, pine cone, flower, and more!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
