pretty packaging

I think the way presents are wrapped says just as much as the gift itself. My mother is a pro at wrapping gifts with a gorgeous presentation and this year I've decided I'm going to be the same way. These images floating around pinterest are providing all the inspiration I need...

    Love this. I'm all about pretty packaging this year too. I finally found brown paper. I just may have to buy some cinnamon sticks. I love that one! Show me how your presents turn out. :)

    I could never wrap anything this well - most people get their gifts from me in gift bags due to my poor wrapping skills!

    I am terrible at wrapping which is why I like to buy gifts where they will wrap them for you.
