A Little Update...


Hello Reader,

If you've been reading my newsletters for a while, you may notice a few changes over the coming weeks.

Nothing dramatic, but I've been spending some time thinking about how everything fits together, and I've decided to bring it all under one name:

Gift Wrapping Made Easy™

It's already the name of my Signature In-Person Gift Wrapping Class, my free Quick Start Guide, and my new LinkedIn Newsletter (first edition will be published on Wednesday, 22 July), so it felt like the natural home for this newsletter too.

And as my business is continuing to grow, I have realised that I can’t do everything….despite occasionally convincing myself that I can! 😆

With that in mind, this newsletter will now arrive every other Saturday rather than weekly.

I want each edition to be packed with practical tips, inspiration and behind-the-scenes stories, giving me a little more time to create content that's genuinely useful and enjoyable to read.

You'll still find plenty of gift wrapping ideas, seasonal inspiration, the occasional wrapping mishap and, if you've been following along recently, probably the odd story involving a flat-pack vegetable rack or melting sticky tape (a very important topic here at Wrapping HQ with the ongoing hot weather)!

Looking ahead...

Although we're enjoying summer (and trying to survive Heatwave 3.0! ☀️), I'm already planning this year's Advent of Wrapping.

One lesson I learnt last year was that filming 24 videos during December wasn't my brightest idea! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Short days, poor light, and Christmas deadlines don't make the best production schedule.

So this year, I’m planning ahead and filming throughout August instead.

And I'd love your help.

Is there a technique you'd like me to demonstrate? (I have already been asked about wrapping a Toblerone!)

Or perhaps there's something from the Advent of Wrapping 2025 series you'd like to see again?

Simply reply to this email or send me a WhatsApp using the number below.

As always, thank you so much for reading and for being part of this lovely community. Whether you've been here for years or have only joined recently, I really appreciate you coming along for the journey.

Best wishes,

Lou

P.S. Don't forget you can now message me on WhatsApp if you have a gift wrapping-related question (M: 07702 160617)
