Every year Christmas rolls around and we’re left thinking: how can we endure another year of shiny tinsel, off-tune carols and out-of-touch gifts from our aunts? Unfortunately, when it comes to Christmas, you have to pick your battles. Maybe trying to get your mom to replace her kitschy plastic tree with a handcrafted wooden one isn’t the right way to go, but you can always add your own hipster spin when you’re wrapping your gifts!
Nowadays, Christmas wrapping paper is as glossy and modern as the rest of it. Covering a vintage typewriter in neon green trees printed on a silver background just doesn’t look right.
Luckily for you, we’ve found 10 vintage-style wrapping papers that will make your next Christmas just a little bit more hipster-friendly.

Evergreen Kraft Tissue Paper by the ream is made from 100% recycled kraft paper. Trees have sweet red birds resting in them.
Nothing says Christmas quite like a classic green Christmas tree, and nothing says Hipster quite like putting a vintage spin on one. With a light brown background and simple tree design featuring a few red birds, this paper has an almost antique look to it.
The set is best for wrapping gifts or putting inside gift bags to add a subtle pop of color instead of those bright, modern papers.
- 240 sheets each measuring 20”x30”
Berry Frost Printed Tissue Paper

Printed tissue paper gives a simple bag style, adds pizzazz to boxes or makes a simple wrap by itself. The tissue paper is printed on 100% recycled paper.
This pack of 240 sheets of printed paper has a bright and cheerful berry pattern that looks good enough to eat and is printed on 100% recycled paper. What more could you want for Christmas?
The great thing about this paper is that it’s not overtly Christmassy – after all, those cliché Santa and reindeer patterns can be totally overused during the holidays. The red berries stand out against the stark white background, and your presents will stand out too.

Our natural vintage Kraft paper has a naturally occurring courser texture than conventional wrapping paper. It's strong and durable yet easy to work with.

Each set of these wrapping papers features three distressed-style prints: one light blue North Pole themed, one with a square pattern and the other with classic Christmas greetings in greens and reds. We can guess that the last pattern will be your favorite because it has hipster features like moustaches and glasses!
The colours are also matte and more dulled-down than those shiny modern papers, which makes it perfect for a hipstery Christmas.

This roll of wrapping paper is covered in illustrations in the original book style (almost like a comic book) and it’s so cool that you could probably just give it as a present alone. Any hipster would love it! We know we would.
