Stationery flecked with a terrazzo-style print

We've been thinking about how we're going to don the bottom of our trees with the best-wrapped gifts. It definitely won't be generic.

 

So we compiled our picks of the gift wrap taking our attention at the moment…

ECO

 

Better for the environment and means you can add your own personality to the gift wrap.

Simply grab some brown paper and a Dymo labeller.

The same can be done here, but your favourite images can be printed and added to the parcel.
