The holidays are plenty of fun, but they can become pretty stressful. Here are a few Christmas hacks that are meant to make the holidays easier on you: ## 1. Label Gifts with Pictures of the Person [https://media.giphy.com/media/Eui5MEDe1X0Z2/giphy.gif](https://media.giphy.com/media/Eui5MEDe1X0Z2/giphy.gif) If you want to make your presents look extra adorable, don't label them with the person's name. Print out a picture of them instead and tape it to the gift. ## 2. Make Cookie Cutters into Ornaments by Wrapping Them with Paper ![Make Cookie Cutters into Ornaments by Wrapping Them with Paper](https://img.allw.mn/content/zs/iu/prgmginr565f093f3cc91089579626_500x221.gif) If you're never going to bake, wrap your cookie cutters up in wrapping paper. Then you can hang them from your tree! ## 3. Make Scrabble Tiles into Place Settings ![Make Scrabble Tiles into Place Settings](https://img.allw.mn/content/yr/jh/ispxe9fw565f0a0c8feee581802065_499x254.gif) If you're hosting for the holidays, you can use Scrabble tiles to write out everyone's name. Then place the tiles in front of the chair they're mean to use. ## 4. Use Craft Sticks to Make a Tree Topper ![Use Craft Sticks to Make a Tree Topper](https://img.allw.mn/content/c6/vj/xlbxqkpv565f093f95309385328582_500x220.gif) Instead of buying a new tree topper, you can make one out of craft sticks. Just hot glue them together to create a star. ## 5. Store Ornaments in Egg Cartons ![Store Ornaments in Egg Cartons](https://img.allw.mn/content/fs/bs/jemsmx64565f092bec6f5630640934_444x334.gif) If you don't have anywhere to put your ornaments, stick them in egg cartons. That way, they'll be separated into separate compartments, so they won't get tangled. ## 6. Wrap Gifts with Fabric ![Wrap Gifts with Fabric](https://img.allw.mn/content/jo/t4/r4dj7hsh565f092bea859643253642_382x261.gif) If you don't want to buy wrapping paper, wrap them in fabric. Then you can reuse that fabric next year. ## 7. Use Green Tinsel to Make the Tree Look Fuller ![Use Green Tinsel to Make the Tree Look Fuller](https://img.allw.mn/content/ms/z2/okp7wdp2565f092cc1c0c112847565_450x249.gif) If your tree is looking a little thin, get a bunch of green tinsel. Wrap it around the empty spots on the tree and it'll create the illusion that it's fuller. ## 8. Wrap Lights around a Hanger to Reduce Tangles ![Wrap Lights around a Hanger to Reduce Tangles](https://img.allw.mn/content/o1/cu/hct7ugnx565f092d68226287355725_500x259.gif) Don't you hate when your lights get all tangled up? That's why you should grab a hanger and wrap your lights around it when it's time to put them away for the year. ## 9. Put Icing into Condiment Bottles ![Put Icing into Condiment Bottles](https://img.allw.mn/content/c6/gw/hz58nlgc565f092d1d2c4502789938_245x230.gif) If you put your icing into condiment bottles, it'll be easier to squeeze the icing out and make designs on all of your delicious desserts. ## 10. Use Cookie Cutters for Brownies, Too [https://media.giphy.com/media/abOlz9ygIm9Es/giphy.gif](https://media.giphy.com/media/abOlz9ygIm9Es/giphy.gif) Cookie cutters are allowed to touch more than cookies. You can create brownies in different shapes, too. ## 11.

That's why you should grab a clean waste basket and place them all inside of it. ## 12. Use Double Sided Tape to Make Gifts Look Better ![Use Double Sided Tape to Make Gifts Look Better](https://img.allw.mn/content/gf/r1/g4uoxkgi565f092ec47a6161210699_400x267.gif) If you want your gifts to look perfect, don't let anyone see the tape on the outside of it. Use double sided tape instead. ## 13. Place a Label on Gift Cards to Keep Track of Money ![Place a Label on Gift Cards to Keep Track of Money](https://img.allw.mn/content/qh/wx/pyfvbr34565f092e3a90a538515762_500x268.gif) It's hard to keep track of how much money is left on your gift cards. That's why you should put a label on them as soon as you get them, so you have a place to write down how much money is left on them. ## 14. Use a Toilet Paper Roll to Hold Together Wrapping Paper ![Use a Toilet Paper Roll to Hold Together Wrapping Paper](https://img.allw.mn/content/s5/eu/b7ppb109565f092f35409991217149_438x247.gif) If your tube of wrapping paper keeps coming undone, cut into an old toilet paper roll. Then clamp it over your wrapping paper to keep everything together. ## 15. Hang Ornaments with Zip Ties ![Hang Ornaments with Zip Ties](https://img.allw.mn/content/qi/o0/qxlfnevh565f092fa6ece823834973_475x356.gif) If you can't find any hooks, just use zip ties to hang your ornaments on your tree. ## 16.
