Gift Giving No. 3 - More Wrapping Ideas

I consider the December holidays a cheater's wrapping card. After all, the wrapping is practically done for you. Wrapping paper, bows, ribbons, and tags are sold in a combo package so you don't even have to give a thought to the gift wrapping design.  We'll talk about thinking outside the combo packages next season.

For now let's consider some creativity for wrapping those gifts for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mothers' Day, weddings,  graduations, and all those other upcoming celebrations we will be giving gifts for.

Here are some great gift wrapping ideas. 

Love this chair pin used as a package embellishment!

See what you can do with a simple box, some ribbon, a brooch, and a historical etching?

Loving these shaped initials for a bridal shower gift. During a past project, a client purchased a chandelier but didn't like the wired crystals on it, so we took them off. I couldn't bring myself to discard them. Guess what I'm going to do with them now?

Here is a fantastic idea to enhance your monetary gift envelope for the bride and groom.

Loving these feathers!
