The New Christmas Wrapping Paper Is Out — Here's Where to Look
Wrapping paper might be the most underrated part of the whole holiday season. It's the first thing anyone sees under the tree, and this year's new collections are leaning into rich jewel tones, tactile ribbon, and a more "curated" look than the glossy red-and-green rolls of years past. Here's where the good stuff is dropping.
Where to Look
Caspari The go-to for classic, elevated gift wrap — think elegant patterns, foil details, and coordinating tissue paper and gift tags. Their holiday shop also carries matching tableware, so it's easy to build a whole coordinated look, not just the wrap itself. This is my favorite Caspari “Dress Stewart” tartan gold foil paper…or how about a more “wild Christmas” - this is also on the list.
Aspen & Arlo We love the paper from this company. Gorgeous themes - beautiful wrapping.
Katie Leamon A London-based studio worth knowing about if you like your gift wrap to feel a little more design-forward. Their sheets are double-sided — two distinct patterns on one sheet — so you get more mileage and can mix-and-match without buying multiple rolls. Everything is printed on FSC-certified recyclable paper, which is a nice detail if sustainability matters to your gift-wrapping choices.
Minted If you want something nobody else's presents will look like, Minted sources its Christmas wrap from independent designers, so the range is huge — traditional plaids, bohemian metallics, playful kids' designs, elegant foil finishes. It's sold in small five-sheet increments, which makes it easy to grab just a few standout sheets for special gifts rather than committing to a full roll.
Paper Source A reliable, broad one-stop shop: Santas, snowflakes, holiday greenery, snowy villages, plus all the extras (bags, boxes, tissue, ribbon, tags) so you can get everything in one trip.
The Art File A UK-based option with a strong range of themed wrap — nature-inspired prints, pattern-driven designs, and abstract options if you want something a little less literal than Santa-and-reindeer.
Current Catalog Good for volume and value — this is where to look if you're wrapping a lot of gifts and want classic foil scripts, traditional prints, and bulk-friendly pricing without losing the festive feel.
A Styling Note
The simplest way to make your gifts look pulled-together: pick one tight palette — say, deep green paper with a burgundy velvet ribbon, or ivory paper with silver and a translucent ornament tied on top — and repeat it across every gift. It reads as intentional and put-together, and it's honestly easier than trying to coordinate five different prints.
The Bottom Line
New wrapping paper might seem like a small thing to get excited about, but it's an easy, low-stakes way to freshen up how your whole gift pile looks this year. Pick a palette that feels like you, grab a roll or two from whichever of these fits your style and budget, and the presents under the tree will look just as good as what's inside them.
