k: wow, those lights are stunning! i am especially partial to the magical image of fil de fer in the field of snow. i completely agree, too, about the importance of lighting. create drama with a chandelier, modernize with a pendant, add romance with candles, or whimsy with a string of lanterns and a room or party is instantly transformed. in that vein, i thought i'd take a break from my own gift wrapping to send a little present presentation your way. i'm one of those people who thinks that packaging is half the battle when it comes to gift giving. like using the proper lighting to set the mood, a beautifully wrapped gift or party favor tells the giftee that they are receiving something thoughtful or special no matter what's inside!

| free download via creature comforts |
i tend to be use a mix of craft paper, twine and metallic ribbon as my go-to wrap style, so i thought it would be fun take a look at a few simple ideas to freshen up my standard presentations. another recently found favorite,
creature comforts has tons of great gift giving ideas, including some really beautiful free downloads like the
one above by the artist
lisa rupp.

| kimono-style fabric wrap |
i love the idea of wrapping a gift with another gift. how about a beautiful tea towel wrapped kimono style around a new cookbook? a light scarf and cute coin purse or vintage handkerchief/journal combo would be lovely as well-the possibilities are (almost) endless.
baker's twine seems to be quite popular lately, but i couldn't pass up this version by
nice package. great name for a blog site devoted to all things prettily packaged, right?
lastly, if you haven't checked out the free online magazine
gifted, prepare yourself. you'll want a mug of cocoa and a little time to find some great design tutorials or simply get lost in the details. love: j
