Thank you to The UPS Store for sponsoring this post. Make the holiday to-do list a little easier this season with The UPS Store!
Every year I start the holiday season with a plan to get all our gift shopping completed, wrapped and sent timely. And here we are, with so much left to do and not enough time before Christmas! Luckily The UPS Store is here to help and our fun Do Not Open Until Christmas Holiday Package Wrapping with printables made it easy to get gifts to my youngest brother and his family sent on time!
This is the first year in a few that we won’t be spending Christmas with my youngest brother and his family. His wife, son and daughter just moved into a new home out of state and while we are very happy for their new adventure, miss them being here for daily playdates with my daughters. We had fun putting together a special holiday package for them and sent it with extra love at The UPS Store this week.
Little sister was very excited to pick out a holiday book for her cousins to send in their holiday gift package. She loves listening to her big sister read books at bedtime and knew her cousins would like one of her favorite holiday books too. We read often in our home and know it’s so important for children to have access to books. The UPS Store network is the exclusive sponsor of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program, an initiative helping give less fortunate children the ability to compete academically and succeed in life by providing them direct access to resources that will enhance their ability to read and communicate effectively. Through Dec. 31, participating The UPS Store locations will support the Toys for Tots Literacy Program with an in-center donation card drive. Every donation helps purchase books for local children in need, making it easy and inexpensive to share holiday joy with those less fortunate.
We brought our gifts home and printed the Do Not Open Until Christmas Holiday Package Wrapping printables. We wrapped our gifts and headed to The UPS Store for help getting the presents into an appropriate box to send to my brother and his family.
Do Not Open Until Christmas Holiday Package Wrapping
Supplies:
- wrapping paper
- scissors
- tape
- ribbon
- Do not open until Christmas gift tag printable
- Do not open until Christmas package label printable
- gifts
- gift boxes if necessary
Both printables are easy to print from your home printer. Print the Do not open until Christmas gift tag printable on letter size cardstock then cut out each tag. Print the Do not open until Christmas package label printable on 4″x6″ photo paper.
If you have multiple gifts for each person, consider packaging them into gift boxes. We were gifting to four relatives – my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew – so we had four gift boxes to wrap. Little sister was most excited about her little cousin’s present because she picked out everything herself. They are just a month apart and like all of the same things making it super fun for holiday shopping.
Wrap gifts then use tape to secure Do not open until Christmas gift tags on each present. Write in the to and from message. Don’t worry about finding a box to carry all the gifts because The UPS Store store has all the supplies you need to send your holiday package.
With the Pack and Ship Guarantee, if an item is somehow lost or damaged the customer will be reimbursed the cost of packaging materials and service, as well as shipping costs. Why do it yourself when you can save time and have one less thing to worry about? Let the professionals at The UPS Store handle the logistics of packing and shipping your holiday gifts.
The UPS Store has extended holiday and weekend hours to accommodate customers’ busy
holiday schedules, giving customers more time to get their packages out the door. You still have time to get your holiday shipping complete with these deadlines:
- UPS 3 Day Select® by December 18
- UPS 2nd Day Air® by December 20
- UPS Next Day Air® by December 21
We’ll be using the Do Not Open Until Christmas holiday package wrapping printables for several more holiday packages and are thankful for extended hours at The UPS Store.
The The UPS Store has tips if you are packing your own gifts for shipping:
- Take batteries out of items before shipping.
- Use a sturdy new box with secure corners to provide additional protection. Do not use
old boxes or gift boxes to ship gifts, or string or wrapping paper on the outside of the
package. - Use at least two inches of packaging material on each side of your item.
- Make sure the sender’s and recipient’s addresses are visible both inside and outside of
the package. - Use packing tape on all package seams. Do not use masking, cellophane or duct tape.

Customers have a chance to win some exciting prizes with one Facebook Live game each day Dec. 11-15 at 2 p.m. ET.

Those are cute printable. Plus i love my UPS store. I get everything i need there.
Wrapping presents is an art and itis a shame people do not take as much care with opening the presents and save the wrapping paper neatly. UPS is always so helpful at all their stores.
That’s really awesome! Love the packaging and the tags too, they’re really lovely for gift giving this season!
Those are super cute printable labels. UPS is great. They really have everything you need to send packages and the service is always fantastic. This year we didn’t have anything to mail, it was so strange
Those are some adorable gift tags. I haven’t sent gifts this year, but in the past we’ve always used UPS.
These are adorable tags. I have really gotten into tags this year for some reason!
I totally love this idea and have been seeing signage similar on social media! It’s so cute!
Those labels are just the cutest! And this is the best, I am the worst wrapper every and haven’t even started to wrap anything yet!
These are absolutely such cute and adorable printables. You’ve reminded me I need to head over to the UPS store today!
The wrappers are super cute! I’m seeing so many printables this year. Not something I normally use, but I’m seeing a huge benefit to them
Those printables are really neat! UPS has always been a great service company that we rely on.
What adorable printables! I am a terrible wrapper lol My husband is actually the one who wraps all of our gifts haha I totally do a bag with tissue paper because I am just not very skilled as a wrapper
That’s a great idea! Sometimes we get boxes we don’t know they are gifts and get opened before Christmas. I love these tags!
I like wrapping paper and tags like this. I think that it’s cute and puts an extra special touch to gifts you send out of town. I’m sure it will definitely put a smile on your family’s face.
What cute tags! My little guy has been trying to get into packages early, ha. Also love my local UPS store, they have been so great to me!
The Toys for Tots Literacy Program seems great. It’s wonderful that the UPS store supports that program. Reading is so important for children. And all kids should have access to books.
I never even thought to add little signs like that! They are adorable. I live far away from all my family and spend most of the year planning Christmas packages I will be sending to them. It’s one of my favorite things to do.
These are great printables. I don’t have to ship anything this year. We have one nephew that lives out of the country, but I just ship stuff directly to him from amazon.
I like the pack and ship feature of USPS. Not so many postal services offer this guarantee,The printables are so adorable. I would like to make these next year.
This wrapping paper is such a cute idea! I am not a fan of the “gift bag” and love the tradition of wrapping gifts, wo will check this out!!
OH I wish I would have seen this last week when I sent out my niece and nephews gifts! Book marking these!
I miss visiting family to spend the holidays with them! It’s just us this year as well and it would be nice to send gift packages to family living far away! I think these are great! Really love how you wrapped the gifts!
The printables that you used are so adorable. I don’t have any gifts to send out this year as all my family are near. I know I’m lucky in that aspect.
I love your printables! wrapping is my least favorite thing to do around the holidays but I love it when it looks so cute!
I love the printable Christmas tags. I will definitely show this with my cousin.
I love your Don’t Open Till Christmas tags. They are so fun and festive, and go perfectly with your wrapping paper. It makes me miss wrapping gifts this year, since I did all of my shopping online. There really is nothing like ripping open a beautifully wrapped gift.
these are all adorable printable. Thank s so much for sharing these with us. I love the tags that say don’t open until Christmas my mom would do that when we were kids also.
Those custom christmas labels are too cute! I made sure to use express shipping for my packages to arrive before the holidays this year.
