  2. Supporting items:

  • Cozy textures: fluffy snowman socks, soft green socks, and a bright knit beanie.
  • Sweet treats: a decorated gingerbread cookie and a handful of candy canes in different colors.
  • Holiday mood: a Christmas candle with a wooden lid, a reindeer mug and a wooden star ornament for a festive touch.
  • Extra detail: Christmas wrapping paper you can reuse for lining the basket or wrapping small fillers.

How to Wrap Christmas Gifts

Step 1: Prepare the Basket

  • Line the basket with Christmas-themed tissue paper to create a warm, festive base.
  • Add extra layers underneath to lift your items so nothing sinks and the basket keeps a soft, full shape.

Step 2: Place the Tall Items First

  • Put tall items like books, boxes, and mugs at the back.
  • Lean books slightly so the covers can be seen (great for a coloring book cover).
  • Tip: secure with a bit of tape or tuck into the filler so nothing moves.

Step 3: Add Medium Sized Gifts

  • Place items like the tea box, candle jar, honey bear, folded socks and the gingerbread cookie in the middle layer.
  • Keep the shape balanced by grouping them close together so they support the taller items at the back.
  • Leave a little space at the front for smaller, cute finishing touches later.

Step 4: Fill the Gaps with Small Treats

  • Use candy canes, the gingerbread cookie and the little wooden ornament to fill any open spaces and add festive pops of color.
  • Tip: tuck smaller treats around the edges so the basket looks full and cozy without crowding the main items.

Step 5: Add the Final Touches

  • Adjust the front treats, ribbons, and candy canes so everything feels balanced and cozy.
  • Fluff the tissue paper around the edges to frame the basket and make the whole look feel warm and full.

Yes. Most printable sheets import smoothly into digital planners, including free printable Christmas coloring sheets. You can resize them, add stickers, and keep everything organized in your journal app.

Once saved, they’re yours. Our websites rotate their freebies seasonally, but your downloaded file won’t disappear from your device.

We don’t follow a strict schedule, but we usually add new freebies about twice a month. It’s always a good idea to check back now and then so you can grab the fresh ones as soon as they go up.
