🎁 Over the last 30 years of gift wrapping, I’ve had my fair share of people not believing in my vision mixed with the joy of hearing some truly lovely words from clients ✨

Here are just a few of the comments that have stayed with me… the good, the bad and the ugly …. ✨ And the last one? Definitely my favourite. 💛

🎁 Simple gift wrapping tip:

If you’re short on paper, layer in a contrasting piece and tie a ribbon over the join 🎀 plus some fresh flowers or dried lavender

Thoughtful, resourceful, and beautifully low-waste 🌱

🎁✨ PRESENT ETIQUETTE QUESTION! ✨🎁
 What do you do when a friend gives you a gift… and you don’t really like it? 😬 Do you fake it? Say something honest-but-kind? Or just focus on the thought that counts?

When you unwrap a gift that isn’t quite ‘you’ it can feel awkward… but keeping your friendship front and centre makes all the difference. Here’s a little guide 🎁:

Friendship isn’t about the perfect gift—it’s about the thought behind it. 💝 Sometimes we get things that don’t quite match our style, but it’s the intent that counts.

Here’s how to handle it with grace:

1️⃣ Say thank you first. A genuine “Thank you so much!” always comes before anything else.
2️⃣ Focus on the giver. Compliment something you do like about it—colour, scent, packaging, or the fact they remembered you.
3️⃣ Be honest (kindly) if it comes up. If they ask for feedback, share what you actually need or love. “I adore your taste in books—next time, I’d love your recs on thrillers”
4️⃣ Repurpose or regift thoughtfully. If you really can’t use it, pay it forward to someone who will

For me, it’s always been about celebrating them, not the thing. 💞

I’d love to know how you handle this kind of awkward situation. 👇👇

✂️ Tired of struggling with blunt scissors?

Grab some aluminum foil or sandpaper and chop away to sharpen them — your snipping game is about to level up💡

I generally use inexpensive scissors from or for paper and love a really good quality pair to cut ribbons such as and titanium ✨

There’s no better feeling than super sharp scissors ✂️😊

Adding a touch of nature to my gift wrapping 🌿

✨ Using simple brown paper, twigs, and fresh foliage to create beautifully rustic and eco-friendly packages. A little greenery goes a long way in making gifts feel extra special and personal.

I’ve also embellished this with our new white edged ribbon for a crisp finish

Who else loves the charm of natural gift wrapping? 🎁
