Well, I've wrapped my first Christmas gift for 2013! Woo Hoo!
The stunning paper is from The Wrapping Paper Company, which I promise to tell you more about later. I wanted to test the wrapping and hide this pressie pronto. It's for a girlfriend and I'm SO excited with it.
Every year I have 'hit' & 'miss' gifts. Some people are just easy to buy for or a stroke of genius occurs and the perfect present materialises. Other people (mostly males!) are much more difficult and, ashamed as I am to admit it, often receive a present bought in haste desperation!
Does this happen to you?
Anywho, two of my girlfriends get Da bomb - gift wise this year. I think they peep this here bloggy so I'll share after the big day....but I can tell you now about THE wrapping! LOL!
It all started with the idea of re-introducing a decade-old banishment of gold into my interiors.
Adding it to this year's Christmas theme was par for the course. Then I found those Karen Walker spotted mugs and napkins at Myer. *sigh*
Which led me to thinking about Christmas Wrap and my aversion to the tiny-quantity, put-your-finger-through-it types on offer for a gazillion bucks. Grrr. Many a Christmas Eve the last presents wrapped were done so in a kaleidoscope of previous-year's remnants! Eeeek!
So I went on a gold paper hunt and guess what? Zilch! (Prediction: Gold will be huge Xmas 2014!)
Enter my super-hero: Mr Google!
The Brown Trading Co. provided some gorgeous gold, confetti and trellis wrap inspiration. But with a big family, buying it per sheet was a bit exy. Then I stumbled upon the aforementioned site of The Wrapping Paper Company.

These guys do it all from design to print; wrapping papers, gift tags, belli-bands and gift seals. All Australian made too! Especially designed for
Retailers, Online Businesses & Corporate bulk complimentary gift
wrapping, this Wholesale Priced website has prices that include GST and Delivery Australia Wide. The minimum order value is $100.
After agonising over the plethora of options, I chose a gold highlighted design called Japanese Blossom Red because both my daughters are returning to Japan for another holiday in February and because it is suitable for use all year through. I also purchased a plain gloss white as a year-round go-to!
Having now received and tested the paper, I will vouch for it's high quality!
I'll note here that this is not a sponsored post: I'm too little for that. I just am enthusiastic about this product and like sharing with others my good finds!
And I'm reassured that those last-minute, hastily bought and wrapped gifts will look fantastic this year!!!!
Yee Ha!

ReplyDeleteHow can you be so organised? I haven't even thought of what to buy, let alone wrapped any gifts! Colour me impressed. The wrapping paper is super duper pretty, good choice.
With dad's surgery imminent and recovery speed unclear, I'm trying to get the Christmas stuff behind me so it doesn't add to the end of year stress! I was so disorganised last year; this helps keep me calm and sane! x KL
