12 gifts:


Over the holidays, someone approached me to do a series of little gifts for her girlfriend, who reads the blog. I thought it was so thoughtful and fun so I gathered some oh, hello friend best sellers and wrapped them up into 12 gifts. I love wrapping so why turn down an opportunity to wrap up gifts and spread some cheer? :)


Here are all the gifts that were included.

All wrapped up!








I've never had a request like this before, it was really fun. She just gave me a budget and I just stayed within that! Thanks Helen & Laura!

Anyway, I love gifts! giving and receiving ;) I especially like wrapping up gifts! My mom is a big gift giver, it's definitely one of her love languages. What about you? I am sure if you read this blog you most likely share in my love of gifts and/or packaging... :)

    I also helped with a creative gift wrapping series where I shopped the Dollar Tree for unique gift wrap ideas.

  10. What a sweet idea for her to approach you with, and such beautiful wrapping on your part. I love the ones with the butterfly and gold leaf. For some reason the tinier the package, the more exciting it is. You never know what can be inside. I bet these were a joy to unwrap.

  12. How fun is that! I'm sure her friend LOVED everything you sent :) I just gave one of my friends a birthday gift. I wrapped with kraft tissue paper and washi tape and added a felt flower. Here's a pic:

  15. I love that you mentioned that because gift giving is ABSOLUTELY my love-language. When my husband and I took a class on that book before we got married, and they listed that one as a language I was like "Oh that's SO ME." So I adore your packing posts! xo
