When it comes to gift wrapping I like to keep it simple. Most times the simplest arrangement can make the greatest impact.
I also believe that you can apply the simple treatment to just about anything (a rice krispie treat, a package of seeds, or salt water taffy) and suddenly transform it into something truly special.
I like to keep a stash of a few simple elements on hand so I can create something whenever the occasion arises. And all or most of these elements work together nicely so it is low-stress and low-fuss.
3 things: enjoy the rest of summer
the little white box: This is my favorite size, I think. 3x3x3. You can buy them in bulk here. And like I said, they are perfect to have on hand for anything or everything. A single cupcake or muffin would nestle in nicely.
ribbon: lots of lots of ribbon. This is where I add the color, the punch to my packages. These 50 yard rolls of wire-edged ribbon from Costco are great. You'll be seeing these colors popping up on my gifts for a long time to come! :)
scallop scissors: I love creating little tags on my computer and using these scissors to cut them out. It adds the perfect touch.
other items on hand:
- white paper lunch bags
- white & kraft gift bags
- dry wax bags -- perfect for a cute cookie delivery
