Tagging presents is such an important part! I mean who wants to open another person's present? But such a fun and personal way to tag presents is by picture! Simply add a picture of you and the person receiving the gift to give it the extra touch and relive fun memories in light of the holiday season!
3. Brown Paper
Another unique style is using brown paper in which you can decide if you want a very simple look with paper and yarn or if you want to go wild and decorate it yourself! This is a great way to use your creative talents to decorate your wrapping paper exactly how you want with paint, stamps and cute tape, or even having your children color on it and make their own designs!
4. Newspaper
A fun and stylish way to wrap presents (and quite cheap!) is to use newspaper! The comics section always makes for a fun looking present and black and white adds a very retro look to a very different type of wrapping!
5. Bags
I mean you can never go wrong with bags but are bags really better than wrapping? That's up to you! Brown paper bags are awesome for gift exchanges- it definitely can help people underestimate your gift but you also can decorate it how ever you want!
6. Black paper
Black paper is fun because you can use white sharpie to add fun designs that are different from the typical wrapping paper! Draw your own tags on the boxes or add some fun drawings to switch up your usual wrapping!

This may sound far out-- but, pine cones and pine tree branches tied in with tags are always loved! They are elegant and rustic look bringing in a whole new type of style! (P.S. twine and red thin ribbon look wonderful with this!)

This is a fun idea that is not only just for looks but can keep others entertained while they wait weeks and weeks to open their presents! The simplicity of the black and white with the complexity of the letters create a great spread of an awesome wrapping idea!
