Hello, friends! Christmas is in 6 days!!! How insane is that? If you haven’t finished all your gift wrapping, you may want to steal these simple yet sweet candy inspired gift wrapping ideas!
I was at my local Michael’s when I saw gift wrapping papers 2 for $5. I instantly got inspired by this adorable candy cane paper. I decided to grab a roll of this pretty silver paper as well. Ribbon, baker’s twine, candy cane and swirly lollipops…I already had them in my inventory. Score!

I wrapped a fantastic book I am gifting to a friend using the candy cane themed gift wrapping paper. I simply secured two candy canes forming a heart and finished off the look with red baker’s twine. How cute does it look?

For a box of truffles, I used this fabulous silver wrapping paper. I jazzed my gift up with green accent ribbon and two swirly lollipops. Note: I removed the plastic for picture purposes. Please keep the plastic wrap on the lollipops. Simply secure the back of the lollipops with double-sided tape onto the gift.
