Because we all know it doesn’t matter what’s inside the box, it’s the level of presentation that really counts.
The task of wrapping your Christmas presents is a joy to behold for approximately the first hour.
Then let’s face it, the chafe of red wool on our fingers gets pretty painful, our hands are covered in paper cuts and our lips are ripped to shreds from sellotape because we couldn’t be bothered to cut it into sensible pieces.
However, should the wrapping paper be the most festive thing we have ever laid eyes on then obviously all the above is cancelled, because the prospect of a tree reigning over a tower of beautifully wrapped gifts is worth the pain.
When we stumbled across this Tory Burch holiday video, American actress Yara Shahidi inspired us to do just that and up our wrapping game.
In a bid to forever be more Yara Shahidi we decided brown paper wrapping and red wool wasn’t going to cut it this season.
Here are the most stylish wrapping papers available right now that will instantly up your Christmas present game (and make that all important gram pic worth the slog).
