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.

Pink, please :3 Though I’d quite like to make purple wrapping paper someday~
I love them both. Pink and Green are cute. I have been wanting your book for ages and have always wanted to try your cake pop kits. Thank you
So cute! I love the green paper, presents wrapped in it would be so bright and festive.
Both green and pink are so cute! I’d adore pink wrapping paper. If i could make my own, I’d make a donut printed one.
Pink for sure! This wrapping ensemble is so inspiring.
Definitely the green one. It’s so adorable!!!
Green please!
Pink all the way! It’s my favorite color :)
I love the green paper! It is so cute!

I like the pink wrapped gifts. I also like the green ones but prefer the pink wrapped gifts. Thanks for sharing!
Could you tell me where you ordered the stamps and wrapping paper? I love how you can customized them!
I like the pink wrapper coz it looks sweet and cute. it fits the concept of bakerella, which is making sweets for the sweet tooth :)
Its all G R E A T ! I’d love to wrap up with gifts with the pretty pink wrap! THANKS :O)
My daughter would say pink, but either would be wonderful!
You can’t go wrong with cake pops at Christmas! I love the green! :)

Having boy/girl twins it’s really hard to choose ~ but since my daughter is the bigger cake eater, I’ll go for the pink! They are both so adorable!! Thanks for the all the opportunities you give out!
I love your wrapping paper… green! ;) [but I love more your beautiful cake pops!]
While pink is my favorite color I think I like the green better.
I love the green, very festive for the holidays!

These are adorable. Love the pink!
I think the pink really pops!
These items are so cute and such a great idea to really bring your gifts all together. My daughter loves Cake Pops and we made some for her volleyball team. She would love this paper.
I would make some for her with volleyballs and softballs all over the pretty pink paper with her picture, too.
I cannot decide they are both too adorable! I would love to make wrapping paper to feature each holiday, because who doesn’t love something to celebrate! Thank you!
Such a WONDERFULLY creative idea! I’d enjoy the PINK!!!!
Pink pink pink! I have always loved pink!
So cute :)
I would love the green one
Green! My son loves cake pops and the color green.
Now that’s a tough decision! Love both, but I’d probably go with green. (And blue would be super cute as well. Or purple.)

Hellooo Bakerella! Love love love your wrapping style! Love the pink…no the green…no the pink with the green inside….basically I just love a wrapped present :-) I have already purchased your book to give but I like the idea of adding the sticks. Haven’t seen the stocking stuffer size yet but now I’m on the hunt! You have great style…but we all know that!
Hope I win! As always, Lori from Port Perry ;-)
I love them both! I really hope to see you in NJ. Please post details when you have them!

Thanksgivukkah…..yay!!! The best two holiday’s ever combined this year and it won’t happen again for 70,000 years, the possibilities are endless.
Wow what a tough choice but I think the pink is just a little bit sweeter than the green.
I love both colors, but probably would choose the green. Thanks so much for sharing this info! I had no idea you could customize so many things. It will be perfect for my small baking business.

I had no idea that you could make your own wrapping paper! What did we do before the internet??!! LOL :) I love the pink but I wouldn’t turn down the green either. ;)
oh my! Its just too hard to pick! i love both pink and green! :) If I could make my own wrapping paper I’d want a design with nail polish bottles of different colors,glitters, and textures! :D i think it would look really neat!
Oh you are so thoughtful :)
My daughter would think she’d found baking heaven if she received one of these wrapped in pink. She adores your work.
Pink please! So adorable! Me and my friend are absolutely smitten with all your delicious posts, and I would love to surprise her with a cute gift this Christmas!

They are both super cute!!! I would love a signed copy of your book. If I was to do my own wrapping paper it would have Christmas cupcakes on it. Thaks
The pink one is soooo cute! But the green screams HOLIDAYS to me so I would have to say GREEN PLEASE!
I love the green!
I would love to have a wrapping paper that is like a mood-ring like texture. The wrapper color changes with heat or cold!
I love pink and green together its always my favourite colour combo but if I had to choose one it would be the green x
I choose green! the best presents.
Green (it’s my favorite color), but that pink is the cutest thing, too!
Green! Please :)

Love them both but I keep going back to the pink.
I would love the green. That’s so cool to be able to design and print your own wrapping paper. I love going overboard on the wrapping during Christmas. Everything MUST match.
It’s Christmas – you have to go with the green paper – though both are totally cute!
Looks great, do it right in every detail. I would like to make a signature paper to always use
Very cute! Green, please! I need to go check out the whole “make your own wrapping paper” thing! Sounds so fun!

I’d like to say green, but I’m a sucker for pink! I’d love the pink wrapped present. My own wrapping paper, I think, I’d make look like an abstract watercolor piece. I used to paint a lot so I think it’d be nice to use my own work.
