Hello Reader, Before we get onto this week’s update, a quick welcome if you're new to my newsletter 👋 Each week, I share tips, behind-the-scenes moments, updates on classes, what’s new, or sometimes just what’s going on in my corner of the gift wrapping world. This week, I invested in some new gift wrap and ribbons ready for the summer season… and honestly, I’ve been ridiculously excited for them to arrive - and they landed early! Sneak peek below 🫣 I can already picture my husband rolling his eyes at yet more paper and ribbon appearing in the house. One of the reasons I decided to invest now is because I’ve been building a much wider range of non-festive wrapping inspiration and imagery. Because although Christmas is obviously a huge part of my business, thoughtful gift presentation isn’t just for December. People celebrate all year round. Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, new homes, client gifting, events, thank you gifts, and special occasions all deserve beautiful presentation. So rather than only thinking seasonally, I’ve been thinking more about how to create content, videos, workshops, and inspiration that feel relevant throughout the year too. I wanted a mix of: ✨ vibrant papers Because sometimes investing in new materials isn’t really about “stock” at all. For me, it’s about: • creativity And sometimes fresh inspiration creates fresh opportunities too. I’ll share more of the new papers and ribbons next week, I have a feeling there may be a few new favourites in there 🎀 Have a great weekend! Lou |
I help organisations elevate their gift wrapping and presentation so that every customer touchpoint is premium, consistent and aligned with their brand.
Hello Reader, A very warm welcome if you're new here. Every couple of weeks I pop into your inbox with a little gift wrapping inspiration, ideas to try and, quite often, a peek at what I've been practising too. Because yes, I still practise! 😃 My favourite gift wrapping technique has got to be pleating. Whether it's what I'll call an ordinary pleat, a fanned pleat or pretty much anything in between, I love how something as simple as folding the paper can completely change the look of a gift,...
Hello Reader, Firstly, a very warm welcome if you're new here. It's lovely to have you as part of the Gift Wrapping Made Easy™ community. Can you believe we've reached the August Bank Holiday weekend already? And for many of you, next week will mean back to school, back to routines and that definite feeling that summer is starting to wind down. But before all that, we have the long weekend. And if the Bank Holiday turns out to be characteristically British, i.e. requiring an umbrella and...
Hello Reader, Here we are at the end of another week of uncharacteristically hot UK weather - our new normal?! My sticky tape is just about surviving this time around 🙄This week, though, I want to talk about pot plants. Have you ever bought someone a lovely pot plant as a gift... and then simply handed it over in the bag it came in from the shop? 🪴 There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course. But what if you could make it look just a little bit more special? Plants are an awkward...
