forget bows and ribbons. find something FUN to put on the front of your packages!
shown here are styrofoam and plastic snowflakes

a dot of hot glue or a sticky glue dot holds them onto the paper securely

then add a sticky label on top of the snowflake

and use stickers to spell out the recipient's name.
