So, I checked out Amazon and they have everything from the classic American flag style postage stamps to holiday greetings to romantic themes for wedding invitations. There is a little bit of everything. One person bought some colorful frozen treat stamps!

And then I noticed a stamp that someone else bought. It is called the this Peace Rose stamp. It is just a pretty as can be – perfect for wedding invitations but can be used for anything at all. I like it.

Make Gift Wrapping A Highlight Of Your Holidays

The wonder of the holidays so filled with sights, sounds, smells and feelings. Holiday preparation can be as special as the big day itself if you plan it that way. Enjoy every moment and turn gift wrapping into an event, instead of a chore!

Do you wrap your gifts or use colorful gift bags? Do you buy bows, make them or use something classically yours to make those presents look nice? I have seen super sized yarn used for ribbon. I’ve seen twine or fabric bows. My brother’s packages were always identifiable. He wrapped all his gifts in newsprint. Yes, that is right. He took the daily newspaper and wrapped them that way!

The surprise element of giving gifts is part of the fun. Whatever method you use, endless holiday gift wrapping can become tedious. Liven it up by making it something to look forward to. You may enjoy having company to help you. Make a date with your hubby or your kids. That will probably take more than one time as you don’t want the gift receiver to see what he is getting! You may really enjoy time alone to get things done without conversation. That is perfectly OK. It still can be special.

How to Make Your Holiday Gift Wrapping Fun

Carve out enough time to not feel rushed. If that is not possible, only do what you can finish each session so that you truly can enjoy the moment.
Put on some music. I love listening to Mannheim Steamroller. Sometimes I just flip on the radio and find the 24-7 “Sounds of the Season” station.
Make a treat. Hot chocolate or fresh brewed coffee is fine for me. If I have little helpers, I add freshly baked sugar cookies to the mix.
Have a large space cleared out. The dining room table or a big, clean and DRY section of the kitchen counter will do. If you are a crafter, your craft table is perfect for gift wrapping.
Collect all of the tools and supplies. When you will need for wrapping the gifts at hand you won’t have to go searching.
Gather the gifts to be wrapped, leaving them in their bags. If you don’t get through wrapping them all this time, they are so much easier to put away. Plus, they remain hidden from little visitors who may sneak in.
Enjoy the moment. If you have helpers, take pictures, too!

Whether constructing a mailing at the office or at home, there must be a way to get those envelopes sealed. Repeated licking of a multitude of envelopes is not the best practice.

First of all, it tastes bad. Secondly, the glue may not be safe to ingest over and over again. Licking envelopes to close and seal them is not a great idea. For efficiency sake, you may wish to purchase self-sealing envelopes but, often, that is not a possibility. Invitation envelopes tend not to be self-sealing.

Here are some creative ways to seal an envelope without licking them!

What kinds of bulk mailings might you be doing that require fluid to seal them? Is it bill paying day? Are you sending birthday party invites? Maybe it is an upcoming shower [baby or bridal] or wedding invitations? Graduations?

Mass mailings take place for all sorts of reasons including day to day outgoing mail for the business or volunteer job where you work. So, best practice is to seal the envelopes without licking them!

How To Seal Envelopes Without Licking Them

Use a simple household sponge. Dampen it with water and seal. This can have quality control problems, just as the envelope sealer may. You could release too much water and have a not-so-neat look on the back of your envelope. If you overdo it and you could even dampen the contents, as well. Note: make sure you use a new, clean sponge to avoid getting your envelope dirty.

Use a cotton swab or Q-tip. Dip the end of the swab in a small bit of water in a cup. Lightly swipe across the edge where the gum is. Seal. This method is what I just used in sealing invitation envelopes for the bridal shower I hosted and, later, the wedding invitations. It works very, very well! Cheapest and neatest method I’ve found.
Envelope Moisteners work brilliantly. These hand-held beauties have liquid glue inside, or allow you to simply put water in them. They dispense the fluid onto the glue portion of the envelop – instead of licking it – and you simply press it closed.
Glue Sticks – good ole “envelop glue” will do the trick. You can either use the standard school glue sticks that you buy for your kids or you can purchase glue sticks that are designed specifically for sealing envelopes.
