Wrapping Souvenirs

One may argue, why then bother at all with wrapping, if it is simply
means to an end? try thingking of giftwrap as a part of the gift
within. This outer decorative sheath may hint at what's inside, or it
may impart the type of celebration that this gift is honoring.
The wrapping may say something about the bearer of the gift or about the recipent.
it certanly says something about the gift giver's taste.

Presentation, after all, is a gift's first message. you may spend hours agonizing over
the perfect gift.
Yet, if you merely plaster some sheets of wrinkled paper together with sticky tape and
slap a rumpled bow on top of it all you've changed the message completely.
What was once a
thoughtful present appears to be a hastly pulled-together last minute purchase,

Cancellng out the care you put into choosing the gift in the first place.
With just a few basic creases and folds or twists and loops, your wrapping can turn the mundane into the fabulous. Garnishing plain paper with an embellishment or two using natural
materials, can brighten a package in minutes. A finely folded bow conveys elegance and grandeur.

A Miniature object or handmade card can hint at the gift inside. Of course if wrapping
seems too much of a bother to you, a gift container may be just the thing; how about
a bag, box, or pece of fabrc, that is a complete wrapping unto itself? boxes and bags can
be used again, and a fine-looking gift box can later be used to store photographs, jewelry,
recipes, bills, or knickknacks.

The refined Asian art of gift giving and wrapping is especially enticing; with its centuries
old traditin of delicate rice paper or bamboo-leaf wrapping, origami ornamentation, and
folded fabrc casing, gift wrapping is elevated to an art of form. if this sounds daunting.
Try using a square of fabrc, a pretty scarf, or even a handkercief of disguise your gift.
