Stores That Don’t Gift Wrap

There are two types of people in this world: those who love wrapping presents and those who cringe at the thought. We happen to fall into the latter category. Regardless of your feelings toward ribbons, shiny paper and tape, one thing is for sure: Finding time to package up presents, much less make them not look like a hot mess, is hard!

Although gift wrapping services aren’t what they used to be back in the day or as readily available as they once were, we’ve tracked down the stores continuing to offer gift wrapping options — either for free or at least at a relatively affordable price.
