A Hayne Holiday Tradition: Our Annual Gift Wrap Party

The holidays at Hayne aren’t just about deadlines and drawings — they’re about slowing down, gathering together, and celebrating the season as a team. Each year, one of our favorite traditions is our Annual Hayne Holiday Wrap Party, a cozy, festive afternoon dedicated to creativity, connection, and a little holiday cheer.

Wrapping Gifts, Hayne Style

Armed with stacks of presents and a carefully curated palette of wrapping supplies, our team transforms the office into a gift-wrapping studio for the afternoon. Thoughtful details are the name of the game — from perfectly tied bows to layered ribbons and coordinated gift tags, every package feels intentional and beautifully finished.

A huge part of what makes this tradition so special is the incredible eye behind the details. Our wonderful Interior Designer, Hillary Hayne, brings the magic by supplying an assortment of stunning wrapping paper, ribbons, and tags that all work together seamlessly. The result? A collection of gifts that feel less like last-minute errands and more like small design moments.

Snacks, Sips & Seasonal Sounds

Of course, no holiday gathering would be complete without a few indulgences. As we wrap, we snack on festive treats, sip a little wine, and let classic holiday music set the tone. It’s relaxed, joyful, and a welcome pause during an otherwise busy end-of-year push.

These moments — chatting around the table, laughing over tangled ribbon, and sharing favorite holiday songs — are what make the day memorable. It’s a reminder that the best traditions don’t have to be elaborate; they just have to be intentional.

A Look Behind the Scenes

To capture the energy of the afternoon, we created a time-lapse video of the wrap party, showing the transformation from blank table to a spread of beautifully wrapped gifts. It’s a quick glimpse into one of our favorite seasonal rituals and the creative spirit that carries through everything we do.

Celebrating the Season Together

The Hayne Holiday Wrap Party is more than just wrapping gifts — it’s about taking time to celebrate our team, our shared creativity, and the simple joys of the season. We’re grateful for these traditions and the people who make them meaningful year after year.

From all of us at Hayne, we wish you a warm, festive, and beautifully wrapped holiday season.
