Fall & Thanksgiving Wrapping Paper Ideas (Beyond Orange)

Autumn has its own gift-giving season: hostess gifts, fall birthdays, “little pumpkin” baby showers and Halloween treats. Here’s how to wrap them in something better than leftover birthday paper.

Pumpkins, four ways

• Pastel and floral. Pink, peach and teal pumpkins painted with flowers suit a fall baby shower. See Floral Pumpkin.
• Heirloom and rustic. Sketched orange and white pumpkins for a farmhouse table: Heirloom Pumpkin.
• Preppy. Leopard Print Pumpkin on pink is a bit of fun for a fall birthday.
• Blue and white. Blue and White Pumpkin brings chinoiserie style to Thanksgiving.

Leaves and meadows

Not a pumpkin person? Pastel Maple Leaf is light and fresh, and Fall Wildflower and Pumpkin tucks tiny pumpkins into a meadow of autumn flowers.

Thanksgiving hostess gifts

A bottle of wine, a candle or a jar of something homemade looks far more thoughtful wrapped. Harvest prints such as Watercolor Pumpkin and Gourd suit the table, and a 30” × 36” sheet is plenty for two or three small gifts.

Halloween boo baskets

Friendly, colourful ghosts beat scary ones for little kids. Cute Colorful Ghost works for boo baskets, class treats and October birthdays.

Styling fall wrap

• Tie with twine, raffia or rust velvet ribbon.
• Add a dried orange slice, cinnamon stick or mini pinecone to the bow.
• Kraft tags suit every pattern here.
