But how do I combine that thought with the fun of wrapping something up all pretty and fun? I have to say - I have as much fun now with the presentation of the gift as I do buying the gift.
There are tonnes (and I mean tonnes) of inexpensive ideas for gift wrapping on the internet. I admit, I sometimes spend too much time looking... but it's fun to see what I can find.
Last year some time, I was looking for a fun (but inexpensive :) way to wrap a little gift for some girls. I came across this idea - and pretty much copied. Here's mine:
A little while later, I took this idea a little step further. I just changed the measurements on the box part to make a bit bigger box, and then made a lid for it using the same concept. Then I "prettied" it up and added a matching card.
Having said all that... I have to admit, I still use brown paper bags on occasion. I bought a whole package of lunch bag size just for gift wrap. But I can't help adding a little ribbon or something to it. Still inexpensive... still fun!!
