Have all your holiday gifts arrived yet? It’s time to start preparing your presents, and there’s no better way to dress them up than with designs from Hudson Valley shops. Bookstores, craft shops, and every destination in between has you covered with unique and artsy gift wraps.
Location: Kingston & Woodstock
Top Pick: Children at Play Design Wrap
Catskill Art Supply fuels artistic endeavors all year round, with plenty to offer for the holiday season. Its designer wrapping paper brings Hudson Valleyites right back to their favorite childhood books and the art inside (think Velveteen Rabbit.) These decorative gift linings will brighten up the season and warm recipients’ hearts.
Location: Nyack
Top Pick: Holiday Bears
How cute are these little bears in their holiday sweaters? Available in Christmas and Hanukkah styles, this festive wrapping paper will bring a smile to any Hudson Valleyite’s face.
Location: Coxsackie
Top Pick: Chic Jellyfish Wrap
Pilothouse Paper offers very hip and fun designs, appealing to the sophisticated side of playful. Soon the online store will be up and running, but for now visit the Coxsackie shop Wednesday through Sunday and peruse the one-of-a-kind papers and cards.
Location: Newburgh
Top Pick: Paste Paper Kit
Readers and people who appreciate hand-crafted items will adore Thornwillow Press, Newburgh’s treasure trove of ornate leather books and journals. Opt for an artisanal touch during gift wrapping with handmade paste paper in simple, elegant designs. Any vintage present deserves to be surrounded by something of the same quality, don’t you think?
Location: Beacon
Top Pick: Holiday Campers
We love the crunchy vibes that a package covered in retro campers and RVs brings. Zakka Joy is a wonderland for cute, artsy prints, and you can’t go wrong with any one of the Beacon store’s designs. Also shop trim, decorative gift bags, and stickers galore during a visit.
