Hidden Talent: Gift Wrapping
Okay, so it is not quite a hidden talent…but I do have a knack for gift wrapping. In fact, long before I got into baking, gift wrapping had been my first love. Exactly how much I like to wrap? Let’s just put it this way: I used to look forward to the start of school year because I could neatly wrap my textbooks in cellophane. How’s THAT for passion?!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I like to packge my holiday cookies into gorgeous little parcels. I think the way they are presented is just as important as how good the cookies taste because the packaging makes the first impression. I don’t know about you but I always get an extra bit of anticipation when I open a gorgeously wrappped present.
I went to Solutions at Heartland Town Centre after work today to purchase some boxes for the gifts. As it turns out, I have over 30 names on my gift list this year (after I trimmed the list down)! I think I’ll drop by Victorian Treasures this weekend to order some personalized satin ribbons. The colour scheme is inspired by my favourite set of stationary. I think the presents will look very pretty with my matching note cards. I can’t wait to put them together when I come back in December!
