The sales have happened, so have the purchases, now on to the fun part, wrapping it!   One of my favorite days of the year is when I take a day, and head to Container Store to shop their gift wrap.   Of course I preview it online the day it comes out, and get an idea in my head of what I want the feel/vibe to be.  Then, I put on my cute, yet comfy clothes, and head to the store.  I have had the privilege of working with one of the buyers there in the past, where we walk through the store with a cart, and choose every paper I love.   We then take a step back, and start to see what flows together, eliminating, and then filling holes and gaps so it flows.

I choose a paper print for each person I am wrapping for,  and then choose ribbon that will coordinate with each package, while maintaining the integrity of the flow.   The last step is so important, it can’t be left out…we choose gift tags and ornaments/toppers for each paper/person.    Container Store also has video tutorials on their website on how to tie the perfect bow, how to wrap cookies, etc, so make sure to check out their website at www.containerstore.com.   This is a splurge, and for me, it is worth it, but I understand for those on a budget, please know we have you taken care of too!
