Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Racked's 2014 Holiday Gift Guide comes to a wrap with a special focus on just that—gift wrapping. Cool paper (in rolled and sheet form), tape that manages to be funny, beautiful cards rich in texture, and artful gift tags are among our finds, ranging from indie Etsy vendors to Crate & Barrel's sleeper hits.

Stock up through our shoppable guide now, and give gifts that look so good on the outside, it won't matter what's inside (that's actually a lie, but we can help with what's inside, too).
