Is summer ever going to arrive? ☀️

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,
​

So… it may not even feel like summer has arrived yet (although there’s a rumour of a heatwave next week ☀️)… but Christmas planning has quietly started behind the scenes here 🎄

​
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had more people joining the priority list for my festive workshops, an invitation to collaborate on an online Christmas event later this year, and even an enquiry about running a class at a rather lovely country house in November.

​
And honestly? It’s always around this time of year that people (especially businesses, guest experience and event teams) begin thinking ahead, especially when it comes to Christmas events, workshops, gifting and festive experiences.

​
While most people are hopefully enjoying a slightly slower pace for summer - and looking forward to sunshine - venues, businesses and organisers are often already planning for Q4 behind the scenes.

It’s actually one of my favourite times of the year; seeing festive plans slowly begin to take shape before things get super busy later on - which also means I can take a break over the summer!

​
I’ve also been spending time refining ideas, planning workshops, and thinking carefully about how I want this Christmas season to feel, not just look.

​
Less frantic. More thoughtful. More experience-led.

​
And as always, beautifully wrapped gifts at the centre of it all 🎁

​
If you haven't already, don't forget to join the priority access list to hear about my upcoming offer!
​

I’ll share more soon, but for now I just wanted to say thank you for following along and supporting my little corner of the wrapping world 😊
​

Best wishes,
​

Lou

Gold wrapping paper with a folded pleating effect on the front and a narrow red ribbon tied in a bow at the corner.

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...

Spiky Cactus Wrapped in paper with a twine bow and tag

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...
