For vastness of selection, it’s hard to beat this Dallas-based staple, which stocks a treasure trove of papers, boxes, ribbons, and creative accessories to make your presents presentable. Bonus: You’ll find Hanukkah-friendly options as well.

Audi + Alf

Featuring winter scenes, holiday greens, and more North Pole–approved patterns, the watercolored wrapping sheets created by Dallas-area sisters-in-law Audrey and Stephy Gustafson come in two handy sizes.

Joy Creative Shop

With apologies to Julie Andrews, it takes more than brown paper and string to make us swoon. Paper-goods doyenne Steph Weibring gets us. Her striped, squiggled, dotted, delightful, and vibrant holiday collection would’ve surely had Maria singing a different tune.

Gloster Road Co.

Watercolor artist Lauren Jopling Smith’s holiday collection showcases more than 20 original strokes of genius on repeat—from classic nutcrackers to potted citrus trees. Her gift wrap, tags, and cards are a timeless way to show your holiday spirit.

Instead, leave it to the experts at St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange. Their wrap stars will tape, tissue, tie, and tag any item, regardless of where you purchased it. Choose from 20 designs, and allow up to four days for turnaround. Their services come at a fee (prices start at $8), but you can feel good about dropping your dollars here—the volunteer-run store’s proceeds go toward local charitable efforts.
