Look out for all things natural making an appearance under the tree this year. Adorn your parcels with cuttings of festive foliage like fir trees or sprigs of rosemary. Pine cones, berries and natural fabrics like wool are all part of the trend. Try pairing these with printed wrapping paper or wicker baskets — they can be easily updated with quality ribbons (and the basket becomes part of the present too!)_x000D_

For the more glamorous giftee, a great hack is to decorate plain craft paper with sequins and glitter to achieve a glossy look. Craft box looking a little empty? Then unused pom-poms, jewellery and gems can also add some sparkle. For a fashion forward finish, contrast with a simplistic ribbon._x000D_
