this is long overdue.. but for those of you who remember, we had a lovely package exchange back in july. :) the criteria was to send a really lovely package... with the emphasis on making the packaging really lovely wrapped and everything.

over 250 people signed up! it was such a neat thing to see our blog community come together ;) each person was carefully partnered with another and here is a follow up of some of the many lovely things that were sent.

perhaps you can get some packaging inspiration as you begin to wrap your presents for Christmas!

  3. These are absolutely gorgeous! I believe you managed to inspire everyone with this lovely post :)

    I have to upload photos from the package I've sent, but I haven't heard from my partner ever since and I didn't want to spoil the surprise in case she hasn't gotten them yet. Too bad I didn't get anything but I guess that is just my luck, right? :)

    I need to wrap Christmas presents this weekend so this post comes just on time :)

    Have a lovely day, dear! xo

  30. There is nothing more lovely than a beautifully wrapped package that you are hesitant to even want to open. Somehow it makes the gift inside seem somewhat irrelevant, because so much love and attention was paid to the outside. So beautiful.
