Have you guys started getting ready for the holidays yet? For the last few years, I’ve waited until the last minute, but this year I’m trying to get ahead of the game and wrap some gifts that I already know I’ll be giving.
My Holidays book is a good way to start. And I wanted to wrap them in a cute, quick and totally customizable way. So I’m working with Zazzle.com to create fun, custom cards and packaging. You can upload your own photographs or artwork to their site to make endless types of unique gifts from shirts and phone cases to lunch boxes and lamps. Lots of stuff.
I stayed with paper products though and made something special for the holidays. I used some of my photographs from the book to create illustrated versions of my cake pops, so the whole gift could be one cute coordinating package.
I started with cards, but soon stumbled onto stamps!
Ack! Have you ever made your own stamps? This is such a cool extra touch that makes mailing something more special.
The only problem is they are so cute I don’t know if I can stand to send them away. I think I’m going to just have to order more to keep for myself.
I also made these sweet stickers in pink and green… because, as usual I couldn’t decide on just one color to stick with.
But let me show you my favorite new thing to make.
Wrapping Paper!!!!
Yes, rolled wrapping paper. You can get so creative with this for special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays, of course. I can’t wait to make more.
Okay, let’s get wrapping!
Oh yeah, I’m popping a few sticks inside the box with my book, so I relabeled them to match the packaging.
Wrap in tissue, stuff with some coordinating paper filler and then seal with a sticker.
Add a coordinating bow and it’s wrapped and ready!
Yay! One present down.
And here’s a few more. Pink wrapping paper for these adorable little Frosty Friends Mini Kits.
I’m thinking stocking stuffers.
Now, who should I send some to?
I thought I’d give away three gift sets if you’d want to get ahead of the game this holiday too and let me wrap a present for you.

I’m completely in love with the pink and the sparkly green polka dot ribbon you used to coordinate with the green. Super fun! Super cute!!
Both are great buti would pick green :)
Either color is so adorable! I’d have to say pink though. We have a new niece in the family this Christmas so pink seems to be the theme! Thanks, Bakerella!
Me gusta el rosado, es muy lindo.
Pink Presents Please!!!!
These are adorable! I’m torn between the two colours, but I have to say pink wins.
So adorable! Pink is my preference, but I wouldn’t refuse green! Thanks for sharing with us…crossing my fingers #<(:^•)(•••)
Truly cannot decide!! Both are gorgeous!! If I could make my own, I’d use my “bucket” list….hot air balloons, South African beaches, horses on the beach, etc.
I can’t decide about colours either, they’re both adorable and go so well together. I think my own wrapping would involve birds and stars. Possibly unicorns.
Green please!!!!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!!
Pink for sure!
You are my #1 inspiration for making cake pops! All the wonderful designs and color makes everyone and I so happy!! I just wanted to Thank You for the sweet inspiration! You are truly an sweet artist! Xx
Truly cannot decide…both a re gorgeous! If I could make my own paper, I’d use my bucket lust I think. Hot air balloons, horse ride on a beach etc.

Pink for me!

Congratulations on your book signings. I wish I lived close by! I would love the green wrapping paper! I need to go visit Zazzle! Thank you so much for sharing this info with us.
I would go for green – it’s a bit more festive even though the pink is pretty too.

Green!!! I absolutely love it!!!
I love the green! And if I ever got the chance to make my own wrapping paper it would be a toss up between my logo, and cartoon interpretations of some of my favourite cake creations :)
I love pink! I’d love to receive either color though. Great blog!!
I would go with the pink! Its so cuteeee (: <3
I’m not really a pink kinda girl, so would choose the green
It’s a tough choice but it’ll have to be green as its my favourite colour and is also very Christmassy.
I would go with the green one although i do love both of them but the green just reminds me of Christmas and I love Christmas!
pink pink pink :) thank you!!
The green paper has a christmas touch -since it is green obviously- but I am in love with the pink paper: very sassy!
Thank you for the give away and good luck to everyone ^_^
L3ve !
One day I want to make a wrapping paper with my own baked gems :-) Till then I would pick the pink one!
I think the green is absolutely ADORABLE!
Green is more Christmassy to me, but they both look gorgeous!
Pink! So cute!!
Oh, these are SO adorable! I’d have to go with the pink.
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
I love the green! So sweet :)
So cute!!!! I love the pink!!!
pink for sure, and thank you for the chance to win!
the green is super festive, but if I were making my own it would feature a hare motif
I like the green!!
Well green & pink are my two favorite colors, so that’s a tough decision for me too! I think it would be really fun to make wrapping paper custom for the person you’re giving it to, with either their picture or artwork! How fun, I can wait to check it out! Thanks for the ideas!! :D
I love those polar bear pops! I would have to choose the pink paper it makes my want let out a girlish squeal.
I love sets the way you’ve packaged them with such attention to detail! But I would be very happy with the pink as I love the candy cane striped cord around it! As for wrapping paper, is love to print some with either my original photos, or drawings, or my kids’ drawings. It’s a great idea!
I loooooove this pink! <3
The green wrap seems very appropriate for the season — and I love the sparkly ribbon too!!!
Pink!!!!!!!!!
I love pink!
I would love a pink wrapped present! BTW–the stamps are super-duper cute!!!!!
The green looks so festive and would be the one I’d choose for someone special!
I would love to have the pink one! It’s my daughter’s favorite color.
My choice would have to be green. And if I ever had the chance to make my own wrapping paper, I would choose either my logo, or cartoon versions of some of my favourite cake creations.
I love the green!!
These are so cute! I love both colors, but I’m truly a pink girl at heart. :-)
Gorgeous! ! Certainly pink for my lil girl.
I have 3 girls so it is PINK for me for sure!! :)
Hello Ms. Bakerella,
I absolutely love, love, LOVE your blogs and posts!!! I am a huge fan and to be quite honest, I didn’t know how to make cake pops until just recently about a year ago. Now, if the time permits, I make cake pops for all my kids and my friend’s kids’ parties!!
I really hope I win!! I think I’d love the green one, cuz it’s a neutral color. But the pink is my fave color. Both colors are awesome!! I wouldn’t be worried about what color I got. I’d just be ecstatic that I won anything at all!!! Lol!! Love what you do!!!!
Sincerely….. no, wait… Love,
Annie Chu :D
Pink please! :)
I love the pink one :)
I’ll choose the pink paper as it will be perfect to wrap my granddaughters books. They are girly girls all the way!
I’d choose the green paper!

I really liked the way you packaged the green wrapped one! But honestly, I can’t decide (pink is my favorite color).

Pink!!!!
Green! Since I look forward to christmas so much :)
I’d choose pink! Love personalizing everything with Zazzle! I use them for all of our parties. :)

Wow, both colors are so beautiful! But since I live with 2 boys, I’d have to go with the girly pink, something just for me. :)
Love your site, Thanks!
These are gorgeous! I’d love green!
Between pink and green- I think it would have to be GREEN! one of my fave colours as it goes with my auburn hair perfectly :) But my fave wrapping paper of all time is anything Disney themed! and yes I am 19!
I like the green wrapping paper!
ooh ooh ooh PINK!!!
When I think of Bakerella, I think of pink. A gift from you would be made even more perfect wrapped in pink. :D Your custom wrapping paper is just too adorable! I love it so much.
Pink for my cute daughter and for me (shouts and claps in glee)! I love the colors and the designs you made they are what I would like to have and give for my daughter. :) Thank you!

So very cute! The pink is my fave.
I choose pink, my favorite color. Never knew you could make your own wrapping paper. That could make every occasion special. Getting a gift for a friend or family member with their face on the present. Amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
I love both the pink and green, I can’t decide! I would love to put pictures of the family onto wrapping paper and give it to the grandparents! Ill have to check that out. Thanks! Your awesome, I love all your stuff!
