Nineteen Seventy Three Cards & Wrapping Paper

Stressed about Christmas shopping? Not you. You know where you’re going to purchase all your gifts.

At Primark and Matalan.

Thank goodness you can disguise your poor taste with some stylish wrapping paper from Nineteen Seventy Three. Run by husband and wife James and Emma Emmerson (both born in 1973), the online store sells cards and gift wrap printed with colourful designs from cutting-edge artists and graphic designers including Catalina Estrada, Josie da Bank, eBoy and Jon Burgerman in unusual mediums like fluorescent ink on foil.

For those who love seasonal things like snowmen and reindeer, there are plenty on offer. For everyone else, there are abstract prints that you can continue to use well into next year.

They’re delivered to your doorstep and will definitely make any present look good.

Assuming you remember to remove the price tag before you wrap.
