Another thing I'm telling you about me.
I love wrapping presents. I love buying the paper, matching the ribbon to the paper but also to the gift receiver...and then finding a tag or even making one that will bring the whole present together- like the icing on a cake!
If I could make a business out of wrapping presents for other people I would. The creativity that can go into wrapping is endless. Imagine having this room at your disposal...bliss...
Brilliant idea to use maps - turns it into a non gender specific gift.
The below image has such an organic feel to it with the various materials used in white or neutrals - the pearl and paper rosette is too cute.
These flower wrapped gifts are so feminine and sophisticated. The brown paper 'grounds' the look - if a pastel colour was used it would be too much. (I have to learn how to make fabric roses...If I do I'll let you know how.)

Creative gift wrapping is so delightful, I love to receive a beautifully wrapped package:)
Thank you for the lovely post!

Ooh yes, I'm with you! I have more fun wrapping up presents than I do actually finding the gift itself!
Well then, maybe you could make a living from it. Have you come across the clever ex~interior designer in Canada, Sande Chase, who does exactly that? Her blog is

Especially love your last image ~ so romantic and pretty.
Gorgeous photos Em, I love wrapping gifts but generally find that I run out of time to be so creative. xx
Thanks for the link Virginia - I had a lookmat Sande's website- very interesting - my favourite is that last one too.
And yes Nellie- it is time consuming- I wrap simply for kids as they don't appreciate the effort and sometimes I don't have time to go the extra mile! x
Yep, I can vouch for the fact that you're an A class wrapper! Maybe we can just give each other bricks in pretty wrapping from now on... that way we can keep them always looking beautiful! xx
