They say good things come in small packages. I deteste. Perhaps the best ones will be coming in brown packages this year.
I never liked the cliche holiday wrappers everyone uses. The ones that yell Happy-Jingle-Bells Merry-Christmas-and-a-very-crazy-new-year or something similar to that. Simple is clean and clean is elegant. Plus cheaper * insert moms clap as they read this *.
Wire woven ribbons and (fake) pine leaves add that oomph to your package. Plus it is so much fun to tie in together — no pun intended.
Make sure to remember the people who have helped you in any way this Holiday. Also make sure to be thoughtful of those who won’t ever be able to repay you back. Those gifts among the many you’ll be giving out this year will be the most remembered. People remember how you make them feel, not what you’ve said or done to them.
People also remember your ugly gift wrappers. So stick with the simple, clean and elegant brown paper packages tied up with strings.
